00:54the dinner I made and around the house clean clothes spotless house he was so used to me
00:59taking care of everything all he saw was his dad you know mom gets tired too barely make any money
01:09how hard can it be dad's the one holding this family together I looked straight at my husband
01:15he couldn't hold my gaze Claire he's just a kid truth was his job was a joke I made way
01:22more than
01:22he did but he lied about his income and downplayed mine didn't even deserve a drumstick I stood up
01:27grabbed the edge of the table and I flipped that was it I was done Claire have you lost your
01:34mind
01:34if I don't go crazy now I won't even deserve a bite of food in this house anymore see momzilla's
01:41crazy
01:42again momzilla that was what they called me behind my back hey buddy don't say that Matt couldn't even
01:49look at me my son just peeked from behind his dad's back and shot me a mocking smirk and just
01:55like that
01:55my heart didn't break it turned to solid ice this was my baby the one I carried for nine months
02:02when he
02:03was born he was sick all the time weak fragile Matt always had an excuse work late overtime so it
02:09was just
02:10me me in the ER at 3 a.m. holding his tiny feverish body me obsessively trying anything to make
02:17him
02:17strong and yeah he got strong strong enough to shove me so hard I fell back onto the couch the
02:23fall
02:24didn't hurt that realization did I pressed my hand to my heart just to hold myself together then I walked
02:30back to the bedroom and shut the door lying in bed in the dark it all started to click Matt
02:36wasn't always
02:37like this it started when our son started walking he'd come home early arms full of toys they'd goof
02:44around until I finished making dinner then he'd put on his stern voice all right buddy playtime's over
02:52go eat before mom gets angry and they would laugh about it together back then I thought it was
02:59teamwork but when I really thought about it why was I always the bad guy one line after another came
03:04back
03:05to me mom's not gonna like this mom said no mom's gonna come get you it was always mom the
03:14fun killer
03:14mom the warden momzilla and the sickest part I never raised my voice I never laid a hand on him
03:22I was
03:23never the monster he just painted me as one in our son's head he made me the villain so he
03:28could
03:28always be the hero she's just like that you know how women are be the bigger person let it slide
03:36kids say things without thinking it's our job to guide them he was so upset he was crying don't hold
03:43it against him he made the mess I got the blame and I was the one who cleaned it up
03:48out in the living
03:48room my son was sitting there like he knew I'd come apologize and right on schedule but this time
03:54was different and right on schedule Matt came in to give his usual speech I watched his face then I
04:00saw it a sick little spark of satisfaction and our son was taking his side I saw something else
04:07jealousy clear as day what exactly was he jealous of I didn't get it every dollar I made went into
04:14them
04:15him our son this whole house this whole life back then he was the one who couldn't handle hard work
04:23or long hours he chose the easier job even if it paid less my son waited I didn't move so
04:30he blew up
04:30by the time I walked out he was holding a knife violently slashing my favorite handbag to pieces
04:36go on say sorry to mom tell mom you're sorry so she won't be mad she barely makes any money
04:43why'd you buy her such an expensive bag anyway you bought this this for me he dodged it

04:57dad's arm it's okay dad just divorce her we don't need this mom zoza don't say crazy things

05:10his room then he turned to the mess all over the living room Claire you're a mother act like one

06:31Matt's silence his enabling the way he let our son mock me the way he took little digs at me
06:37he
06:38showed our son where I ranked in this house at the bottom I was the one they could walk all
06:42over
06:43the one they could mock the one they could treat like absolute trash so of course he grew up thinking
06:48I deserve nothing not respect not nice things not even a piece of food Matt taught him that I looked
06:55at
06:56him I want a divorce he thought I didn't deserve it just like the duck leg let's get a divorce
07:02kids watch they learn his silence his enabling he showed our son where I ranked at the bottom
07:09so he grew up thinking I deserved nothing not respect not nice things not even one bite of food
07:15babe come on we were just kidding don't take it so seriously think about the kid psychologically
07:20you can't just throw that around I just smiled isn't this what your precious son wanted you're
07:25always saying we should respect his opinions well I'm just giving him what he asked for that shut
07:31him up our son pressed himself against Matt's side glaring at me like I was the enemy dad don't
07:36give her another chance divorce her I want to see how fast she goes broke without us she'll regret
07:41that without me dragging you down I'm sure you two will live the dream we will and when you come
07:47begging momzilla we're not letting you back in Matt shifted uncomfortable our son didn't get it
07:53but Matt did he knew exactly who paid for everything the next morning I woke up to a spotless house
08:00Matt had cleaned everything overnight set out breakfast smiling like nothing happened I just paused
08:06the last time he'd been this helpful was when I was pregnant once the baby was born that version
08:12of him disappeared I sat down to eat my son glared at me you made dad do housework this is
08:18your job
08:20he already works hard enough for this family stop making his life harder I looked at my son a chill
08:28went through me his dad did it once his heart broke for him I did it 10 years he never
08:34cared the boy I
08:35used to love suddenly looked ugly to me I couldn't bear to see his face anymore after breakfast I dragged
08:41my
08:41suitcase out Matt's eyes went wide what are you doing the divorce I meant it he rushed over
08:49no I'm not doing this I don't agree grabbed his arm thrilled dad you're an awesome guy you've got an
08:56amazing job you can easily find a much better wife she's gonna regret this so bad I laughed awesome sure
09:05an amazing job please I walked out didn't look back the second the door shut I still heard my son
09:12listing all the benefits of divorcing me she's gonna regret this you'll see we 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 we stretched ourselves thin to make it happen every month I used to transfer money into that account
09:29on time mortgage car payment utilities internet all of it but hey wasn't I told his dear father
09:37was the one working so hard to cover the bills fine the bills were all his now was cut off
09:44his access
09:44to my money the mortgage alone was almost his entire paycheck let's see how long he lasts I rented a
09:50nice
09:51apartment near my office spacious just for me living alone meant spending freely specifically for the
09:58first time in years everything I used to talk myself out of buying everything I said I didn't need
10:03everything I kept putting back for someone else I bought it all of it and guess what I still had
10:09money
10:10left over from my paycheck a lot of it too bad the piece only lasted a week then my phone
10:15started blowing
10:16up my parents relatives everybody you seriously got divorced over a drumstick I went back a few days
10:24later the house was fine Matt stepped toward me arms out I stepped aside you're not 10 running to my
10:31parents to tattled sign it let's end this like adults I'm not going with you I'm staying with dad okay
10:40that's fine I wasn't going to fight for custody anyway that clearly wasn't the answer he expected sign it
10:45let's end this like adults maybe in his head I was supposed to beg to cry to fall apart at
10:50the
10:50thought of losing him come on just sign it one week that's all it took can't even stand to be
10:58in
10:58this house anymore what you got bored with us that fast bored really of course he made it my fault
11:04dad's just been too busy to cook okay of course he has funny how the rules always changed for him

11:15lawyer you're really doing
11:16this you're just gonna leave us you're the worst mom ever I hate you I don't care sign the papers
11:22Matt grinned at his teeth picked up the pen and signed his name his hand was shaking I took the
11:26papers checked his signature and put them back in my bag no hesitation this time I was truly free
11:33babe the mortgage is due soon could you send me some money dad she doesn't have money for the
11:38first time I almost appreciated how confidently wrong he was yeah how would I have money I make
11:44what a fraction of what you do right sweetie obviously Matt's face trickled please just this
11:50once or we'll miss the deadline the boy just stared confused watching his dad crumble in real time
11:57I lifted my hand and casually showed them everything new I really don't the money wasn't
12:03gone it had just come back to me in a different form one I actually got to enjoy that was
12:07when he
12:08finally noticed his eyes went huge Claire this is insane when did you get so materialistic you were
12:12never like this before I'm not living like this anymore I'm here to divorce you that look the one
12:18he always used when he wanted something and honestly I used to fall for that every time now I just
12:24saw a
12:24man in his 40s trying too hard I couldn't help laughing something flickered in his eyes
12:29confusion maybe panic that trick doesn't work on me anymore something in that clearly hit a nerve
12:37he suddenly exploded Claire that's enough you're really divorcing me over a drumstick grow up it's
12:42embarrassing you know damn well this was never about a drumstick and embarrassing you're the one who
12:47told everyone he knew I was right so he didn't argue Claire don't push it just repeating what you
12:53always say to your son fine the house goes to me but you keep paying the mortgage on top of
13:00that
13:00half your paycheck every month for me and our son excuse me you make more so you give more I
13:07need to
13:07buy stuff food clothes any of it oh and the house all for our son seems fair I felt sick
13:13the meeting
13:14ended nothing settled I turned to leave and for some reason I looked back at the boy's door I don't
13:19know how long he'd been standing there you want a divorce do it we're with you that guy's a piece
13:26of work we thought he was steady decent who knew he was this twisted god knows how much crap my
13:31daughter
13:31had to put up with from him and that kid his kid now he's ruined him too we don't need
13:35either of them
13:36I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding honestly I thought they'd try to talk me out
13:41of it
13:41it's a divorce not the end of the world well people had solutions back in the day too a little
13:46something in his coffee and boom problem solved instant widow don't be an idiot
13:53he just grinned got up and brought over a bowl of washed fruit he picked the biggest reddest
13:58strawberry handed it to mom here try one got these this morning your mom loves them I held
14:03the strawberry bright red perfect and suddenly I smiled right this was how it should be kids learn
14:09how to treat their mother by watching their father I watched my parents move around each other
14:13turns out they were the answer all along put them in the freezer you're busy just heat some up and
14:18eat focus on work and if you get tired come home I'll make you something good I thought you were
14:23gonna tell me to stay for him for the kid we only cared about them because of you they mattered
14:27because you loved them I went back a few days later the house was fine now they're the ones hurting
14:32you
14:32so we leave that's all marriage and children are only part of your life I went back and threw myself
14:38into work life was easier better I felt lighter my boss noticed then asked cautiously if I'd be open
14:45to travel absolutely that's not like you you always said no before said your son needed you
14:52I just smiled she got the hint she knew something had happened absolutely good nail this trip and you'll
15:01get the promotion whatever was left of that old ache gone money it never let me down
15:11a few days into my trip the boy called picked up was about to hang up when he finally spoke
15:20mom it's me oh what's up he canceled my tutoring I glanced at the calendar right mortgage week
15:28he even had them refund next semester the boy kept listing everything that had been cut
15:33I stopped him maybe your dad wants to help you with homework himself silence Matt had never ever sat
15:39down and helped with schoolwork not once that was always my job but whenever I got strict with him
15:45Matt would appear all right all right let him take a break
15:51and after enough years of that the boy learned mom's the angry one dad's the nice one
15:58not long after that he called again his voice was sweeter said he missed me asked how I was doing
16:05you know I can't survive without your dear dad it's okay mom just come back I'll get dad to let
16:13you
16:13come home in that moment whatever hope I still had for him died completely he misses you too he'll
16:19forgive you things can go back to how they were don't want to get in the way of you and
16:23your dad
16:24living your best life I hung up men were terrible money never was after returning from a business
16:31trip the corridor was as deserted as usual but today there is a dirty shadow at the door I recognized
16:37him at a glance kid you've gone through the wrong door mom it's me don't you recognize me anymore
16:44I instinctively dodged he missed his target mom I'm so hungry what didn't your dad cook you a big
16:51meal he began to pour out his grievances dad makes me eat instant noodles every day and I'm about to
16:57throw up he 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 after he finished speaking he completely broke down in tears
17:09his hands were so dirty and he held on so tightly don't I'm just a useful tigress who deserve it
17:16you didn't say you're baba samshal nai let tamon jout you a new ma he was taken aback by my
17:22words
17:22and several white marks appeared on his dirty face tears mixed with dust smudging the entire face
17:30the neighbors began to crank their necks and point fingers I don't want to be laughed at
17:35he just stood there dirty and pitiful this is your towel before I had to coax him to take a
17:43bath
17:43I turned around and went to the kitchen where I fried a steak
17:50smells so good did I say you could eat mom I called your dad he's coming I'm not going back
17:56I want to live with you did you ask me what you want to live with me my permission and
18:05this food

18:24dad really knows he was wrong give him a chance that day I argued with him you were listening weren't
18:31you no I didn't hear anything I saw your door was open a creak
18:38Matt came to pick him up the boy was still trying mom it was about the drumstick right next time
18:46no
18:46from now on I'll give them all to you okay just come back please I said no his face twisted
18:54he glared at me furious why are you being so stubborn
19:02can't you just sacrifice a little for me so he knew he'd known all along and he still chose his
19:10dad
19:10still expected me to keep sacrificing myself for them that was what broke me I asked him why
19:20he looked up at Matt tears in his eyes dad has his pride he's the man of the house he
19:26can't look weak
19:27he didn't lie to hurt me he just wanted to be a good father he's actually really stressed
19:36just forgive him this once okay I'll make sure he does better he was still defending him after
19:44everything I didn't care to understand anymore I just wanted them out of my sight before I got sick
19:49I sent them both away
19:52Matt pulled the same old tricks a few more times using his son playing the victim I didn't cave
20:01so he switched tactics he started telling anyone who'd listen that I was divorcing him over a drumstick
20:09tried to drag my name through the mud even made a video posted it online begged for sympathy too bad
20:16for him the internet is smarter than he thought people picked apart his story piece together what
20:22actually happened the comments tore him apart hard he deleted it pretty fast a few months past the
20:34mortgage was eating him alive he came to me just pay the fine I won't ask for anything else no
20:43I paid the
20:46down payment I paid the mortgage so why the hell would I hand him a free house he wanted to
20:52drag
