Pain hidden in the smile

"I feel like...she is not my mom. "

Ethan frowns as he hears Liam, Liam had his eyes looking at his fingers fidgetting on his knees and his head hung low as it was the first time he has said something about his mom to someone else. Liam had already learned to bury these awful feelings within him since he became big enough to talk and understand. It was a pity that Liam being a small kid he was had to suffer and bear emotions which the adults did. He never got to complain about his mom being cold and reckless around him.
