Not knowing what to feel and what to respond, Cathy looked at her son whose eyes looked as though they begged her to forgive Liz and start everything over.
As Cathy and Alex walked home in silence, he said, “Mom, I like Aunt Lia. She’s been good to me. She bought me the new things, not Dad.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Cathy asked.
“Because you’ve been upset over the divorce, and I didn’t want to add to that.”
At that moment, Cathy realized how deeply Alex was affected by the divorce, something she wasn’t completely aware of until then.
Although she was mad at her sister, Cathy was thankful she was there for Alex during the difficult times the family was going through and helped him cope with the challenges of being a child of divorce.
After thinking about it long and hard, Cathy decided to embrace her sister into her life. Over time, their parents were also able to forgive Liz for disappearing from their lives without any warning.
Their family was now complete and everything felt right.
