I believed I had married a reliable, trustworthy man—but that illusion crumbled the day I came home early from Germany.
My 17-year-old son, Caleb, was nowhere to be found.
I eventually discovered him rummaging through trash three blocks away—he was thin, filthy, and clearly frightened.
It turned out Travis, my husband, had thrown him out weeks earlier without ever telling me.
Caleb explained that Travis accused him of being disrespectful, then threatened to lie if he tried reaching out to me.
While I was working overseas, Caleb had been sleeping in garages, eating expired food, and struggling to survive.
Meanwhile, Travis had turned our house into a nonstop party zone. I was enraged—at Travis, and at myself.
I got Caleb a warm bed, a hot meal, and then made one important call—to Marcus, a friend and former cop.
Together, we staged a fake arrest and demanded $15,000 from Travis, who caved quickly, terrified of legal trouble.
The very next day, I filed for divorce. When Travis came storming into my office, I stayed calm and told him, “You failed my son. We’re done.”
Every penny of that money went to Caleb. “Use it for something that matters,” I told him.
We moved into a modest apartment near his school—just the two of us. Life is quieter now, but it’s also stronger.
Because from now on, I’ll always put my son first—and I’ll never let another man come between us.
