The Price of Your Prank

My parents thought raising me was too expensive, so they tossed me between different relatives throughout my childhood.

Because of that, I never felt safe. My biggest fear was being abandoned.

When my husband found out, he spent five years rebuilding my sense of security.

He replied to every text, never cut contact during arguments, and even posted his detailed itineraries on the fridge whenever he traveled for work.

He used to tell me, "As long as I'm here, you will always have a home."
