“I want to make a request.” “Sure, what is it, Val?” “I… I don’t want anyone to be allowed to enter my room without you. Valerie’s request replays in my mind even as I leave her room. She doesn’t even want Jai there…

I head upstairs to the children’s room and for the first time, I feel uneasy about them being alone with Mom. It’s terrifying not being able to trust those around me. This makes me feel guilty too. She loves me, right?
I feel so… alone. With Dad having to stay behind, it will be on me to protect my children and Valerie. Jai- I can trust Jai and I think I can trust Atticus. I know I don’t agree with every decision he makes, but I don’t feel like he is the enemy.
