At My Mom’s Birthday, My Dad Said, ‘You’re Past Expiration,’ Divorced Her & Left but Karma Hit Hard

“I know,” my aunt whispered.

“He told me I wasn’t worth growing old with.”

“I know.”

“He replaced me within weeks.”

“I know.”

Mom looked down at the kitchen counter.

“And now he wants to come home?”

My aunt didn’t answer immediately.

Then she said:

“He doesn’t have anywhere else to go.”
