I had doubted myself over and over again, wondering how terrible I must be for my once-dependent son to say such hurtful words.
Because of that, I had spent sleepless nights in sadness.
Every day when I woke up, I thought about my terrible son, my terrible husband, my terrible relatives, as well as my terrible neighbors. I had doubted myself more than once and even thought about suicide.
But Liam told me that it was because I was too busy with work and neglected my son's feelings. He asked me to quit my job and spend some more time with my son.
To regain my son's love for me, I had planned to submit my resignation letter after meeting with the client today.
But unexpectedly, I discovered the conspiracy between Liam and Belle.
With hands covering my face, tears soaked my palms.
I began to reexamine myself. When did my husband start to think I was being unreasonable, when did my son, whom I carried for nine months, say he hated me, when did my parents forbid me from returning to their house, and when did the neighbors treat me like a rat crossing the street?
It seemed to have started three years ago when Belle moved to my residential area. My life and work gradually became a mess.
