In the aftermath of their father’s infidelity and subsequent abandonment, our storyteller and their sister, Katie, find themselves in a bitter struggle. Their half-siblings, born from their father’s affair, blame them and their mother for their time in foster care. Despite the pressure, our storyteller remains steadfast, defending their mother’s decision to prioritize her own children’s wellbeing over the offspring of their father’s betrayal.
