Three Years of Marriage, and His Ex-Wife Always Came First

Synopsis

In our three years of marriage, I was attacked by my husband's crazy ex-wife thirty-eight times. For the final attack, she mistook white vinegar for sulfuric acid and splashed it all over me. I wanted to call 911, but my husband stopped me. "She's not right in the head. She still thinks we're married and forgot about the divorce," he said. "Besides, it's not real acid. You're not hurt. Just wash it off." He paused, then added: "And Noah is our son. He's never accepted you as his stepmother." "Why don't I move in with them for a while? Just bear with it a little longer, okay?" I stared at him, my heart turning to ice. He had never let go of his ex-wife. His son had never accepted me. I looked down at the lab results confirming my pregnancy. Without a second thought, I scheduled an outpatient abortion procedure. "Let's get a divorce." "I'm done being in the way. You can have your family of three back."
