I thought staying on good terms with my ex-husband was best for our son. But his new girlfriend repeatedly found ways to humiliate me, and Nigel seemed content to let it happen. At the school fall fair, her latest insult led to something neither of us expected.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

When my ten-year-old son stepped up to the microphone at his school\u2019s fall fair, I assumed he would show everyone the pumpkin cupcakes we\u2019d made together.<\/p>\n

Then I noticed my ex-husband\u2019s girlfriend clutching his arm.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMake him stop!\u201d Annabelle whispered.<\/p>\n

Nigel looked confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just showing pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Annabelle seemed to realize what those pictures would expose before I did.<\/p>\n

And from her expression, she was terrified of what Dustin might reveal next.<\/p>\n

A week earlier, Dustin had returned from his father\u2019s house with an unexpected question.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, do you think your clothes are ugly?\u201d<\/p>\n

I was cutting fabric for his pumpkin costume.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an interesting question. What\u2019s wrong with my clothes?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnabelle says you dress like you\u2019ve given up.\u201d<\/p>\n

I set down my scissors.<\/p>\n

Annabelle was Nigel\u2019s new girlfriend. They\u2019d been together several months, and lately, Dustin had been unusually withdrawn after visiting them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat else has she said?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dustin picked at a loose thread on his sleeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said you have terrible taste in clothes. Last weekend, she asked Dad how he stayed married to you for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did your dad say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe laughed.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at the orange fabric covering our table.<\/p>\n
