My son Joey planned a beautiful surprise party for my wife Anna’s birthday, hoping to make her feel special. But hours before the celebration, she told him not to come, saying he didn’t fit in and wasn’t really family. Her cruel words left me questioning everything about our marriage.
Joey, a quiet and thoughtful boy, had always struggled to connect with Anna and her daughter Lily. Despite their impatience, Joey tried to fit in, even planning a party for Anna to show her he cared. But Anna dismissed him, and her words cut deeper when she told him he wasn’t really family.
I confronted Anna, revealing Joey’s effort and telling her she never took the time to understand him. Her selfishness finally became clear to me, and I made the decision to kick her out. As she left, Joey questioned if he’d done something wrong, but I assured him he had done everything right. I was proud of him, and we both knew we were finally going to be okay.
