Chapter 666 The Resort - Mothers And Sons(Taboo Sex):>Ep5
- "I broke down and felt guilty for that. I felt like I was using tears to blackmail my husband, but they were real. Fortunately, I am blessed with a wonderful family. My husband gave me another chance. I quit my job, and we started our own, much less stressful business. We worked together, and when travel was required, we did so as a pair. Sometimes we took our daughter, who was by that point rebellious and argumentative in a much more healthy and adolescent way. She and I reconnected. She told me things that I wasn't prepared to hear, but that's not important right now. She trusted me again, and I kept that trust."
- "The one exception was my son. Even after a year, he still remained surly and silent. What was worse, now he extended it to my husband and daughter. He regarded their forgiveness as foolish and even betrayal. While I was gone, spending time mentoring other people, including many young men, he had no mother. He felt this more keenly than my daughter, and of course, he lacked the longer-term perspective of his father. I confronted him about it, as his mother and an authority figure, and I demanded that he tell me what I had to do to get him to forgive me. Big mistake."
- "He looked me in the eye and told me that he'd never forgive me. That I might have fooled his father and sister, but that he knew I was nothing but a user, someone who had a family as a kind of prop for their life. He reminded me of a million little things that I had missed or left undone with him. Of course, they weren't little. He told me about his first girlfriend and first breakup, and the times he needed me. He told me that it wasn't my place to demand forgiveness and that he wouldn't ever give it. If I wanted him to leave our house, he'd leave. It was as simple as that. He was eighteen and an adult. But he wouldn't give in."
