So, while I was overseas trying to provide for our family, my son had been sleeping in strangers’ garages, digging through expired food for meals, and wondering whether I even cared.
He thought I’d abandoned him.
Meanwhile, Travis had transfered our home into a revolving door of parties and drinking. It wasn’t just reckless — it was betrayal.
That night, I gave Caleb the only things he truly needed: a hot shower, a real meal, and the warmth of someone who loved him thoroughly. But I knew that wasn’t enough. Not after what he’d been through. Not after what Travis had done.
So I called Marcus — an old friend and former cop who owed me a favor. Together, we composed a plan. It was time for Travis to learn a lesson the hard way.
A Fake Arrest, a Real Waken Call
Marcus and I staged what looked like a police sting. We cornered Travis at the house, with Marcus in full gear, badge out, voice booming with authority. I accused Travis of endangering a minor, and Marcus requested $15,000 in hush money — right there, on the spot.
Travis muttered. He folded within minutes. That’s who he really was — not strong, not dependable, but weak and cowardly when it counted most.
The next morning, I filed for divorce.
When Travis stormed into my office — red-faced, furious, demanding an explanation — I didn’t speak out. I didn’t cry. I just looked him straight in the eyes and said, “You failed my son. We’re done.”
And I meant every word.
Starting Over — Just Me and My Son
Every single penny of that $15,000 went straight to Caleb. I handed him the envelope and said, “Use it for something that matters. For college, for a car, for whatever future you want to develop.”
We left that house the same day. No fanfare. No looking back. We got into a modest apartment near his school — nothing envision, just safe and peaceful. For the first time in months, Caleb had a soft bed, regular meals, and the quiet comfort of knowing someone was watching out for him.
Life now? It’s simpler. Quieter. But it’s stronger, too.
Because now, it’s just the two of us. And I’ve made a vow I will never break: no man will ever come between me and my son again. I will always select Caleb.
