When I finalized the divorce with Sean Norton, I didn't take either of the kids. My five-year-old son clung to my hand and refused to let go. My three-year-old daughter hugged my leg and cried until she was breathless. I didn't budge. Sean stood nearby with red eyes and said I didn't deserve to be a mother. I didn't argue. Three years later, we ran into each other on the street. The three people who once begged me to stay now walked beside another woman. They didn't look at me once as they walked straight past. My best friend nudged my shoulder and asked, "Do you regret it?" I smiled and said no. I made that decision the moment I found out Sean hid his ex-girlfriend in our home and let her live with us for five years. I decided then that I was never going back to them.
