A Text Message in a Time of Grief

Our storyteller was already dealing with so much stress when her brother tragically passed away. Instead of comforting her, her husband continued his silent treatment and sent her a text message saying “I’m sorry” after hearing the news. She couldn’t take it anymore and blew up at him, only for him to say that it wasn’t his fault her brother died. After escaping to her mom’s house, her mother advised her not to lash out at her husband because it won’t solve the issue. Let’s see how the internet feels about this heart-wrenching situation…
