I found out my ex-husband had taken half of our son\u2019s college fund the same way you find out most modern betrayals\u2014through a casual comment that wasn\u2019t meant to sound like a confession.<\/p>\n
He said it like it was nothing. Like it was his right.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re using some of the college money for Lily,\u201d he told me over the phone, voice bright with that smug certainty he always used when he thought he was being \u201creasonable.\u201d \u201cBoston University isn\u2019t cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t even process the sentence at first. My brain snagged on one word.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome?\u201d I repeated.<\/p>\n
He sighed, like I was slow. \u201cHalf. It\u2019s fine. Ethan will still have plenty.\u201d<\/p>\n
My hands went cold around my coffee mug. \u201cYou can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I can,\u201d he snapped. \u201cI earned that money, not you.\u201d<\/p>\n
There it was. That old familiar line. The one that always tried to turn everything into ownership. Power. Control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
