After Rejecting My Confession, My Uncle's Overwhelmed With Regret

For years, I stayed by my uncle's side after my father's tragic death in a car accident. But he turned his back on me, pushing me away with a coldness I never saw coming. And just when I thought he couldn't hurt me more, he sank even lower, using me as a scapegoat to shield his girlfriend. When I finally walked away, his regret lingered in the silence behind me-too little, too late.
