Chapter 284

• Jennifer gives up
• After I got the divorce petition, I was crushed. I had really hoped the counseling would have helped, but apparently not. My parents tried to console me, but they knew that this was a possibility. That night, I looked very hard at a bottle of sleeping pills I had. All I would have to do is get a handful and a glass of water, and it would all end.
• Thankfully, my dad came in at that point, and kissed me goodnight like he used to when I was a little girl. His goodnight kiss was a shocking reminder to me that I had three kids that I had kissed goodnight to. What if they ran into a mess like mine in the future? Would I be there to kiss them goodnight again if they needed me to? How selfish could I be, to consider killing myself?
