CONTENT WARNING: Sexual Assault
I thought our wedding would kill the feud between families,
but no one from my side showed up.
Not even Mother.
It stung.
As a kid, when I asked how the feud began,
everyone just shrugged.
I assumed it happened so long ago no one knew.
John’s family attended.
They took me in,
particularly his sweet dad,
so I’m irked when Nana “requests my presence”.
I flip her the bird as she informs me
I am to be removed from her will.
She chews,
mulls something over.
“You know John’s father raped your mother, don’t you?”
