I thought my life was over after my tumultuous divorce from Roger two years ago. Roger and I were married for 15 years, and we have two beautiful daughters, Veronica, 14, and Casey, 12. We were happy until things started falling apart. Roger’s late nights, endless arguments, and the silence that followed all led to our divorce. I got custody of the girls, and Roger had weekend visits.

Two years following the split, I decided to move on and find love again. Not just for me but for my daughters, too. They deserved a father figure in their lives.
When I recently brought my boyfriend, David, home for dinner and introduced him to my children, I didn’t understand why he called off our relationship after meeting my daughters.
“David, what’s wrong?” I asked when he suddenly stood up from the dinner table, pale as a ghost. He didn’t answer as he just grabbed his coat and left without a word.
