The Marriage I left Behind After My Husband Ruined Me

I was in the hospital bed, still weak from the miscarriage, when I saw images of my husband, Brandon, kissing a girl. I thought I was imagining things until I caught him in our own house, tangled in bed with his best friend’s sister, Denise.

“Ssh, Brandon, be gentle,” Denise giggled while I stood in the shadows. “What about Maureen?”

“She won’t wake up,” Brandon replied. “I knocked her out with her medicine.”

I thought the infidelity was the worst of it. I was wrong.

“Maybe that medicine caused the miscarriage,” Denise said.
