Secretly married for seven years to Vivienne, a powerful businesswoman. She doesn't love me, and she certainly doesn't love our two children.
She never allows our kids to call her "Mom".
No matter how hard the children try to win her affection, she remains unmoved.
At the school's parent-teacher conference, both children asked me with hopeful faces:
"Dad, all the other kids have their moms with them. Can we ask Mom to come too?"
To my surprise, the usually cold-hearted woman nodded in agreement.
But on the day of the conference, she showed up with her high school sweetheart and his daughter, who had just returned from overseas.
"Daddy, why is Mom accompanying other kids instead of us? Does she dislike us that much...?" they sobbed.
I held them close, my voice trembling with a mix of pain and helplessness:
"Mom's true love has come back. Should we leave together?"
