I’ve insisted that Natalie and I go to counseling to address any underlying issues from our divorce. Mike has been a great source of support for her, and I’m grateful that if anyone had to be a stepfather to my son, it’s the man who phoned me and told me the truth. Back home, the distance between Oliver and me was unbearable.
I couldn’t let that be our reality anymore. I opened my laptop, scrolling through job listings. There was no question about it.
I had to be closer to my son. And soon. “Next time, Natalie,” I muttered to myself, “I won’t be so far away.”
