Revenge....wee challenge
Danny stared at the clock. "You're late bringing the kids. We agreed to meet at noon," he told me. I looked at the clock--12:05.
"I know. It's not easy getting three little girls out the door. I'm sorry."
"You have an excuse for everything," he mumbled. "The only thing I was ever completely satisfied with in our whole marriage was the sex. That's all you were good for."
My eyes stung with tears. Verbal wasn't his only method of abuse, but it was the one he was best at. He always knew what to say that would hurt me the most. He fed on my fears.
I wasn't going to take it this time. I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"I'm glad one of us was satisfied with the sex...and at least I'm good for SOMETHING, you worthless prick."

| Yes Grae...in the moment you are only hurt and can't come up with snappy comebacks. But writing allows you to regain the control you have lost. Thank you! : ) |
