I Screamed I Wanted My Mom Back — My Dad’s Response Broke Me

A month later, I sat beside my dad on the couch, tears spilling before I could speak. “I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I didn’t know.”

He didn’t lecture me. He didn’t say “I told you so.” He just wrapped an arm around me and said softly, “You needed to see for yourself.”

And in that moment, I realized just how much he had always loved me—enough to let me discover the truth, even when it hurt him.
