I built a stable career. Our home became warm, safe, and ours in every way that mattered. My father comes around sometimes, quietly, respectfully, understanding that any connection now exists because Liam offered grace—not because he earned it.
The truth is simple: rejection didn’t destroy us. It forged us. The night my father closed the door on me, I gained something stronger than anything he could have provided—a life built on resilience, love, and a bond with my son that nothing could break.
