When I was 1x, my mother threw $200 on the motel nightstand and said “don’t follow me.” she drove off while my brother screamed, we survived on vending machine snacks in a room with bloodstains. Years later, I found out she told her new billionaire husband we died in a fire to start her “perfect life.” I became a forensic accountant.
