At 2 A.M. My Son Texted Me Not to Come to My Own Grandson’s Birthday — He Forgot I Secretly Own the $10 Million House He Was Banning Me From
My secrecy, meant as a gift to my son, became the very instrument of my erasure.
If I had it to do again, I would still catch him.
But I would let him feel the weight of the catch.

It only trains them to undervalue you, and undervaluing is the soil that every later cruelty grows in.
