kids’ struggles
The kids are struggling too, each in their own way. Timmy barely talks anymore, retreating into his room and hiding behind video games.
Lucy, on the other hand, has become extra clingy, refusing to leave my side. Their schoolwork is suffering, teachers have called home several times.
They ask questions I can’t answer. “Why did Daddy say that?” “What did he mean?” It’s heartbreaking seeing them this way.
