Short filmTranscript
00:00I made four roasted chicken drumsticks.
00:02My son gobbled up two of them.
00:04Then I grabbed one for myself.
00:05He totally freaked out.
00:06What are you doing?
00:07Why didn't you save that for dad?
00:09What are you talking about?
00:11There's one left here for dad.
00:12Save two for dad!
00:13I was floored.
00:14This was the kid I raised.
00:16Honey, four total, right?
00:18You ate two, I took one, dad still gets one.
00:22That's not the point!
00:23Why does he only get one?
00:25So what?
00:26Mom doesn't even get to eat one?
00:28Next to him, my husband just grinned.
00:31Dad works so hard every day.
00:33He deserves the extra one.
00:35Stop being so selfish!
00:37And nudged the plate closer to our son.
00:39Okay, so what about me?
00:40I work, I cook, I clean, I clean, I take care of you!
00:46He said nothing, just kept wiping his tears.
00:49Alright, take it easy.
00:50Why are you going so hard on him?
00:51I sat there, silent, looking at the dinner I made and around the house.
00:56Clean clothes, spotless house.
00:58He was so used to me taking care of everything.
01:01All he saw was his dad.
01:03You know, mom gets tired too.
01:08Barely make any money.
01:09How hard can it be?
01:10Dad's the one holding this family together.
01:13I looked straight at my husband.
01:15He couldn't hold my gaze.
01:17Claire, he's just a kid.
01:19Truth was, his job was a joke.
01:21I made way more than he did, but he lied about his income.
01:24And downplayed mine.
01:25Didn't even deserve a drumstick.
01:26I stood up, grabbed the edge of the table, and I flipped it.
01:29That was it!
01:29I was done!
01:32Claire, have you lost your mind?
01:34If I don't go crazy now, I won't even deserve a bite of food in this house anymore.
01:39See?
01:41Momzilla's crazy again.
01:42Momzilla?
01:43That was what they called me behind my back?
01:45Hey, buddy.
01:47Don't say that.
01:48Matt couldn't even look at me.
01:50My son just peeked from behind his dad's back and shot me a mocking smirk.
01:54And just like that, my heart didn't break.
01:56It turned to solid ice.
01:59This was my baby.
02:00The one I carried for nine months.
02:02When he was born, he was sick all the time.
02:05Weak.
02:06Fragile.
02:06Matt always had an excuse.
02:08Work late, overtime, so it was just me.
02:10Me, in the ER at 3 a.m., holding his tiny, feverish body.
02:14Me, obsessively trying anything to make him strong.
02:18And yeah.
02:19He got strong.
02:20Strong enough to shove me so hard, I fell back onto the couch.
02:23The fall didn't hurt.
02:24That realization did.
02:25I pressed my hand to my heart just to hold myself together.
02:29Then I walked back to the bedroom and shut the door.
02:33Lying in bed in the dark, it all started to click.
02:36Matt wasn't always like this.
02:37It started when our son started walking.
02:40He'd come home early, arms full of toys.
02:43They'd goof around until I finished making dinner.
02:46Then, he'd put on his stern voice.
02:50All right, buddy.
02:51Playtime's over.
02:52Go eat before mom gets angry.
02:54And they would laugh about it.
02:55Together.
02:56Back then, I thought it was teamwork.
02:59But when I really thought about it, why was I always the bad guy?
03:03One line after another came back to me.
03:05Mom's not gonna like this.
03:07Mom said no.
03:10Mom's gonna come get you.
03:11It was always mom.
03:13Mom, the fun killer.
03:15Mom, the warden.
03:16Momzilla.
03:17And the sickest part?
03:18I never raised my voice.
03:20I never laid a hand on him.
03:22I was never the monster.
03:24He just painted me as one in our son's head.
03:26He made me the villain.
03:27So he could always be the hero.
03:29She's just like that.
03:30You know how women are.
03:32Be the bigger person.
03:33Let it slide.
03:36Kids say things without thinking.
03:38It's our job to guide them.
03:40He was so upset, he was crying.
03:42Don't hold it against him.
03:43He made the mess.
03:44I got the blame.
03:46And I was the one who cleaned it up.
03:48Out in the living room, my son was sitting there like he knew I'd come apologize.
03:52And right on schedule, but this time was different.
03:55And right on schedule, Matt came in to give his usual speech.
03:58I watched his face.
04:00Then I saw it.
04:01A sick little spark of satisfaction.
04:04And our son was taking his side.
04:06I saw something else.
04:08Jealousy.
04:08Clear as day.
04:09What exactly was he jealous of?
04:11I didn't get it.
04:12Every dollar I made went into them.
04:15Him.
04:16Our son.
04:16This whole house.
04:18This whole life.
04:19Back then, he was the one who couldn't handle hard work or long hours.
04:23He chose the easier job, even if it paid less.
04:27My son waited.
04:29I didn't move.
04:29So he blew up.
04:31By the time I walked out, he was holding a knife.
04:33Violently slashing my favorite handbag to pieces.
04:36Go on.
04:37Say sorry to mom.
04:38Tell mom you're sorry so she won't be mad.
04:40She barely makes any money.
04:42Why'd you buy her such an expensive bag anyway?
04:46You bought this, this for me?
04:49He dodged it.
04:51Don't drag him into our problems, Claire.
04:53He's just a child.
04:54My son looked up at him.
04:56He squeezed his dad's arm.
04:58It's okay, dad.
04:59Just divorce her.
05:00We don't need this, Mom Zoza.
05:02Don't say crazy things.
05:04Nobody is getting divorced.
05:05You're lucky.
05:07Dad still pays for your life.
05:09Matt finally pushed him toward his room.
05:11Then he turned to the mess all over the living room.
05:13Claire, you're a mother.
05:14Act like one.
05:15You said you bought the bag.
05:17It's just a bag.
05:18You really gonna make this a thing?
05:20Fine.
05:21It's just a bag.
05:23Buy Mingba me another.
05:25Another one.
05:25You want a replacement?
05:27Fine.
05:28I'll get you one.
05:29Happy?
05:29He saw the price.
05:30He flipped out.
05:33Claire!
05:34You spent that much on a bag?
05:36This is insane!
05:38Our son came running back out.
05:40He came at me.
05:41See?
05:42I told you.
05:43She's just a lazy, selfish leech.
05:46Shame on you!
05:48I can't believe you're my mom!
05:51I slapped him for the first time.
05:54His face turned bright red.
05:56Rage.
05:56He shot his hand up and jabbed a finger at me.
05:59I swatted his hand away.
06:00He tried to headbutt me, but I stepped aside.
06:03He hit the cabinet instead.
06:05Dad!
06:07Momzilla hurt me!
06:08Hit her back!
06:09Matt was at his side in seconds, then screamed at me.
06:12What the hell is wrong with you?
06:14Is this really all over one drumstick?
06:16Fine!
06:16Take the whole damn thing!
06:17Walked straight up to him.
06:19He gave this little scoff, raised my hand, and slapped him across the face.
06:23Hard.
06:24Your turn.
06:25You just slapped me?
06:27I picked up the ruined bag.
06:29Kids know.
06:30They watch.
06:31They learn.
06:32Matt's silence.
06:33His enabling.
06:34The way he let our son mock me.
06:36The way he took little digs at me.
06:37He showed our son where I ranked in this house.
06:40At the bottom.
06:41I was the one they could walk all over.
06:43The one they could mock.
06:44The one they could treat like absolute trash.
06:47So of course he grew up thinking I deserved nothing.
06:49Not respect.
06:51Not nice things.
06:52Not even a piece of food.
06:53Matt taught him that.
06:55I looked at him.
06:56I looked at him.
06:57I want a divorce.
06:58He thought I didn't deserve it.
07:00Just like the duck leg.
07:01Let's get a divorce.
07:03Kids watch.
07:04They learn.
07:05His silence.
07:06His enabling.
07:07He showed our son where I ranked.
07:08At the bottom.
07:09So he grew up thinking I deserved nothing.
07:12Not respect.
07:13Not nice things.
07:14Not even one bite of food.
07:15Babe, come on.
07:16We were just kidding.
07:17Don't take it so seriously.
07:19Think about the kid.
07:20Psychologically.
07:20You can't just throw that around.
07:22I just smiled.
07:23Isn't this what your precious son wanted?
07:25You're always saying we should respect his opinions.
07:28Well, I'm just giving him what he asked for.
07:30That shut him up.
07:31Our son pressed himself against Matt's side.
07:34Glaring at me like I was the enemy.
07:36Dad, don't give her another chance.
07:37Divorce her.
07:38I want to see how fast she goes broke without us.
07:40She'll regret that.
07:42Without me dragging you down, I'm sure you two will live the dream.
07:45We will!
07:46And when you come begging, Momzilla, we're not letting you back in!
07:49Matt shifted.
07:50Uncomfortable.
07:51Our son didn't get it.
07:53But Matt did.
07:54He knew exactly who paid for everything.
07:57The next morning, I woke up to a spotless house.
08:00Matt had cleaned everything overnight.
08:02Set out breakfast.
08:04Smiling like nothing happened.
08:05I just paused.
08:07The last time he'd been this helpful was when I was pregnant.
08:09Once the baby was born, that version of him disappeared.
08:13I sat down to eat.
08:14My son glared at me.
08:16You made dad do housework?
08:18This is your job.
08:20He already works hard enough for this family.
08:23Stop making his life harder!
08:26I looked at my son.
08:27A chill went through me.
08:29His dad did it once.
08:30His heart broke for him.
08:32I did it ten years.
08:33He never cared.
08:34The boy I used to love suddenly looked ugly to me.
08:37I couldn't bear to see his face anymore.
08:39After breakfast, I dragged my suitcase out.
08:42Matt's eyes went wide.
08:44What are you doing?
08:45The divorce.
08:46I meant it.
08:47He rushed over.
08:49No, I'm not doing this.
08:51I don't agree.
08:52Grabbed his arm.
08:53Thrilled.
08:53Dad, you're an awesome guy.
08:55You've got an amazing job.
08:57You can easily find a much better wife.
09:00She's gonna regret this so bad.
09:02I laughed.
09:03Awesome?
09:04Sure.
09:05An amazing job?
09:06Please.
09:07I walked out.
09:08Didn't look back.
09:09The second the door shut, I still heard my son listing all the benefits of divorcing me.
09:14She's gonna regret this.
09:15You'll see.
09:16We don't need her.
09:18We bought that house for the backyard, the pool, so our son could have the childhood we dreamed of giving
09:23him.
09:24We stretched ourselves thin to make it happen.
09:26Every month, I used to transfer money into that account.
09:29On time.
09:30Mortgage.
09:31Car payment.
09:32Utilities.
09:33Internet.
09:34All of it.
09:35But hey, wasn't I told his dear father was the one working so hard to cover the bills?
09:39Fine.
09:41The bills were all his now.
09:43Was cut off his access to my money.
09:45The mortgage alone was almost his entire paycheck.
09:48Let's see how long he lasts.
09:50I rented a nice apartment near my office.
09:52Spacious.
09:53Just for me.
09:54Living alone meant spending freely.
09:56Specifically, for the first time in years.
09:59Everything I used to talk myself out of buying.
10:01Everything I said I didn't need.
10:03Everything I kept putting back for someone else.
10:06I bought it.
10:07All of it.
10:08And guess what?
10:08I still had money left over from my paycheck.
10:11A lot of it.
10:12Too bad the peace only lasted a week.
10:14Then my phone started blowing up.
10:16My parents.
10:17Relatives.
10:18Everybody.
10:19You seriously got divorced over a drumstick?
10:22I went back a few days later.
10:25The house was...
10:26Fine.
10:27Matt stepped toward me arms out.
10:28I stepped aside.
10:30You're not 10.
10:31Running to my parents to tattled?
10:33Sign it.
10:34Let's end this like adults.
10:36I'm not going with you.
10:38I'm staying with dad.
10:39Okay.
10:40That's fine.
10:41I wasn't going to fight for custody anyway.
10:42That clearly wasn't the answer he expected.
10:44Sign it.
10:45Let's end this like adults.
10:46Maybe in his head I was supposed to beg.
10:48To cry.
10:49To fall apart at the thought of losing him.
10:51Come on.
10:52Just sign it.
10:55One week.
10:56That's all it took.
10:57Can't even stand to be in this house anymore?
10:59What, you got bored with us that fast?
11:01Bored?
11:01Really?
11:02Really?
11:02Of course he made it my fault.
11:04Dad's just been too busy to cook, okay?
11:06Of course he has.
11:08Funny how the rules always changed for him.
11:11When he did it, he was too busy.
11:13Are you going to sign it or do I need to get a lawyer?
11:16You're really doing this?
11:17You're just going to leave us?
11:18You're the worst mom ever.
11:19I hate you.
11:20I don't care.
11:21Sign the papers.
11:22Matt grinned at his teeth, picked up the pen and signed his name.
11:24His hand was shaking.
11:26I took the papers, checked his signature and put them back in my bag.
11:29No hesitation.
11:30This time, I was truly free.
11:33Babe, the mortgage is due soon.
11:34Could you send me some money?
11:36Dad, she doesn't have money.
11:38For the first time, I almost appreciated how confidently wrong he was.
11:41Yeah, how would I have money?
11:43I make, what, a fraction of what you do?
11:45Right, sweetie?
11:46Obviously.
11:47Matt's face trickled.
11:49Please, just this once, or we'll miss the deadline.
11:52The boy just stared, confused, watching his dad crumble in real time.
11:57I lifted my hand and casually showed them everything new.
12:01I really don't.
12:02The money wasn't gone.
12:03It had just come back to me in a different form, one I actually got to enjoy.
12:07That was when he finally noticed.
12:08His eyes went huge.
12:10Claire, this is insane.
12:11When did you get so materialistic?
12:12You were never like this before.
12:14I'm not living like this anymore.
12:15I'm here to divorce you.
12:17That look.
12:17The one he always used when he wanted something.
12:20And honestly, I used to fall for that every time.
12:22Now, I just saw a man in his 40s trying too hard.
12:26I couldn't help laughing.
12:28Something flickered in his eyes.
12:29Confusion.
12:30Maybe panic.
12:32That trick doesn't work on me anymore.
12:35Something in that clearly hit a nerve.
12:37He suddenly exploded.
12:38Claire, that's enough!
12:40You're really divorcing me over a drumstick?
12:42Grow up!
12:42It's embarrassing!
12:43You know damn well this was never about a drumstick.
12:45And embarrassing?
12:46You're the one who told everyone.
12:48He knew I was right.
12:49So he didn't argue.
12:50Claire, don't push it.
12:52Just repeating what you always say to your son.
12:55Fine.
12:56The house goes to me.
12:57But you keep paying the mortgage.
12:59On top of that, half your paycheck.
13:02Every month.
13:03For me and our son.
13:04Excuse me?
13:05You make more, so you give more.
13:07I need to buy stuff.
13:08Food, clothes, any of it.
13:10Oh, and the house.
13:11All for our son.
13:12Seems fair.
13:12I felt sick.
13:13The meeting ended.
13:14Nothing settled.
13:15I turned to leave.
13:16And for some reason, I looked back at the boy's door.
13:19I don't know how long he'd been standing there.
13:22You want a divorce?
13:23Do it.
13:24We're with you.
13:25That guy's a piece of work.
13:26We thought he was steady.
13:27Decent.
13:28Who knew he was this twisted?
13:29God knows how much crap my daughter had to put up with from him.
13:32And that kid?
13:33His kid now.
13:34He's ruined him too.
13:35We don't need either of them.
13:36I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding.
13:39Honestly, I thought they'd try to talk me out of it.
13:41It's a divorce.
13:42Not the end of the world.
13:43Well, people had solutions back in the day too.
13:46Little something in his coffee and boom, problem solved.
13:48Instant widow.
13:49Don't be an idiot.
13:53He just grinned, got up and brought over a bowl of washed fruit.
13:56He picked the biggest, reddest strawberry, handed it to mom.
13:59Here, try one.
14:01Got these this morning.
14:02Your mom loves them.
14:03I held the strawberry, bright red, perfect.
14:05And suddenly, I smiled.
14:07Right, this was how it should be.
14:09Kids learn how to treat their mother by watching their father.
14:11I watched my parents move around each other.
14:13Turns out, they were the answer all along.
14:16Put them in the freezer.
14:17You're busy.
14:18Just heat some up and eat.
14:19Focus on work.
14:20And if you get tired, come home.
14:21I'll make you something good.
14:22I thought you were gonna tell me to stay.
14:24For him.
14:25For the kid.
14:25We only cared about them because of you.
14:27They mattered because you loved them.
14:28I went back a few days later.
14:30The house was fine.
14:31Now they're the ones hurting you, so we leave.
14:33That's all.
14:33Marriage and children are only part of your life.
14:36I went back and threw myself into work.
14:38Life was easier, better.
14:40I felt lighter.
14:41My boss noticed.
14:43Then asked cautiously if I'd be open to travel.
14:46Absolutely.
14:47That's not like you.
14:48You always said no before.
14:50Said your son needed you.
14:52I just smiled.
14:54She got the hint.
14:55She knew something had happened.
14:57Absolutely.
14:59Good.
15:00Nail this trip and you'll get the promotion.
15:02Whatever was left of that old ache, gone.
15:05Money.
15:06It never let me down.
15:11A few days into my trip, the boy called.
15:14Picked up.
15:15I was about to hang up when he finally spoke.
15:19Mom, it's me.
15:22Oh.
15:23What's up?
15:24He canceled my tutoring.
15:25I glanced at the calendar.
15:27Right.
15:28Mortgage week.
15:28He even had them refund next semester.
15:31The boy kept listing everything that had been cut.
15:33I stopped him.
15:34Maybe your dad wants to help you with homework himself.
15:37Silence.
15:38Matt had never ever sat down and helped with schoolwork.
15:41Not once.
15:42That was always my job.
15:43But whenever I got strict with him, Matt would appear.
15:47Alright, alright.
15:48Let him take a break.
15:51And after enough years of that, the boy learned.
15:54Mom's the angry one.
15:56Dad's the nice one.
15:58Not long after that, he called again.
16:01His voice was sweeter.
16:03Said he missed me.
16:04Asked how I was doing.
16:05You know I can't survive without your dear dad.
16:09It's okay, mom.
16:10Just come back.
16:12I'll get dad to let you come home.
16:13In that moment, whatever hope I still had for him died completely.
16:18He misses you too.
16:19He'll forgive you.
16:20Things can go back to how they were.
16:22Don't want to get in the way of you and your dad living your best life.
16:25I hung up.
16:26Men were terrible.
16:27Money never was.
16:30After returning from a business trip, the corridor was as deserted as usual.
16:34But today, there is a dirty shadow at the door.
16:36I recognized him at a glance.
16:38Kid, you've gone through the wrong door.
16:40Mom, it's me.
16:41Don't you recognize me anymore?
16:43I'm your son, Max.
16:44I instinctively dodged.
16:46He missed his target.
16:48Mom, I'm so hungry.
16:49What?
16:50Didn't your dad cook you a big meal?
16:52He began to pour out his grievances.
16:54Dad makes me eat instant noodles every day and I'm about to throw up.
16:57He doesn't wash my clothes and my classmates think I'm dirty so they don't play with me anymore.
17:02He started pouring out his grievances.
17:05After he finished speaking, he completely broke down in tears.
17:09His hands were so dirty and he held on so tightly.
17:13Don't!
17:14I'm just a youthful tigress who deserve it.
17:16You didn't say you're Baba Sumshul Nye.
17:18Let Tamunjot you a new ma.
17:20He was taken aback by my words and several white marks appeared on his dirty face.
17:26Tears mixed with dust, smudging the entire face.
17:30The neighbors began to cramp their necks and point fingers.
17:34I don't want to be laughed at.
17:36He just stood there, dirty and pitiful.
17:39This is your towel.
17:41Before, I had to coax him to take a bath.
17:44I turned around and went to the kitchen, where I fried a steak.
17:50Smells so good.
17:51Did I say you could eat?
17:53Mom.
17:53I called your dad.
17:54He's coming.
17:55I'm not going back.
17:57I want to live with you.
17:58Did you ask me?
18:00What?
18:02You want to live with me?
18:03My permission?
18:04And this food?
18:05My permission?
18:07Mom, I was wrong!
18:08Eat this.
18:09I allow it.
18:12Mom, I haven't had a normal meal in so long.
18:15Can you come back with me?
18:18Your dad sent you, didn't he?
18:20No.
18:21I came myself.
18:24Dad really knows he was wrong.
18:26Give him a chance.
18:28That day I argued with him.
18:30You were listening, weren't you?
18:32No.
18:33I didn't hear anything.
18:35I saw your door was open a creak.
18:38Matt came to pick him up.
18:40The boy was still trying.
18:42Mom, it was about the drumstick, right?
18:45Next time, no.
18:46From now on, I'll give them all to you, okay?
18:49Just come back, please.
18:51I said no.
18:52His face twisted.
18:55He glared at me, furious.
18:57Why are you being so stubborn?
19:02Can't you just sacrifice a little for me?
19:04So he knew.
19:06He'd known all along.
19:08And he still chose his dad.
19:11Still expected me to keep sacrificing myself for them.
19:15That was what broke me.
19:17I asked him why.
19:20He looked up at Matt, tears in his eyes.
19:23Dad has his pride.
19:24He's the man of the house.
19:26He can't look weak.
19:27He didn't lie to hurt me.
19:29He just wanted to be a good father.
19:32He's actually really stressed.
19:35Just...
19:36Just forgive him this once, okay?
19:40I'll make sure he does better.
19:42He was still defending him.
19:44After everything.
19:45I didn't care to understand anymore.
19:46I just wanted them out of my sight.
19:48Before I got sick.
19:49I sent them both away.
19:52Matt pulled the same old tricks a few more times.
19:57Using his son.
19:58Playing the victim.
20:00I didn't cave.
20:01So he switched tactics.
20:03He started telling anyone who'd listen.
20:06That I was divorcing him over a drumstick.
20:09Tried to drag my name through the mud.
20:11Even made a video.
20:13Posted it online.
20:14Begged for sympathy.
20:16Too bad for him.
20:17The internet is smarter than he thought.
20:19People picked apart his story.
20:21Pieced together what actually happened.
20:23The comments tore him apart.
20:25Hard.
20:27He deleted it pretty fast.
20:31A few months passed.
20:33The mortgage was eating him alive.
20:36He came to me.
20:39Just pay the fine.
20:40I won't ask for anything else.
20:43No.
20:45I paid the down payment.
20:47I paid the mortgage.
20:48So why the hell would I hand him a free house?
20:51He wanted to drag this out?
20:53Fine by me.
20:54I had money.
20:55I had a job.
20:56I could wait.
20:57Then you take our son.
20:59I keep the house.
21:00The look on my son's face.
21:01Pure shock.
21:02Dad?
21:03What?
21:04All you do is cost me money.
21:06Useless.
21:07The boy looked at me.
21:08Pitiful.
21:09Expecting me to step in.
21:11I stepped back.
21:12Nope.
21:13Definitely not.
21:14I'd raised one Ingrid.
21:16Not doing it twice.
21:17I knew exactly what he wanted.
21:19Not me.
21:20My money.
21:21My service.
21:22In the end, Matt caved.
21:27You sold the house, and I want half of the money.
21:29No.
21:30Then he backed off to 60-40.
21:31Then 70-30.
21:3380-20.
21:34Final offer.
21:35Deal.
21:36The day we finalized the divorce and sold the house, he looked 10 years older.
21:41You are being ice cold!
21:45Maybe.
21:46But I only get one life.
21:48I decided to live it well.
21:49And you dump everything at home on me.
21:52What do I even need you for?
21:53I should have never stayed with you!
21:55You ruined everything!
21:57He came to me too.
21:59We've Endrip to me, eventually.
22:01I gave you chance after chance, and you never chose me.
22:04Not once.
22:05But you're still my son.
22:06Until you're 18, I'll send child support every month.
22:09The day my divorce became official, I made myself a plate of roasted chicken drumsticks.
22:13Same recipe.
22:15Same smell.
22:16Same taste.
