Michael’s private revelation
As the evening drew to a close, Michael pulled me aside, his face grave, and revealed the final piece of the puzzle. “Mom, can we talk in private?” he asked. I followed him into the room, my stomach knotted with a foreboding worry. “There’s something else you need to know,” he began, his voice low, almost hesitant. My heart quickened as I urged him to continue. He took a deep breath, obviously ready to reveal the truth that lurked in the shadows of our broken family.

The real reason
The real reason my grandchildren were avoiding me came to me like a thunderclap: a misunderstanding fueled by Linda’s insecurities. Michael hesitated for a moment, then explained with restraint: “Linda thought you were criticizing the way she raised the children. Some of the comments you made, she misinterpreted.” My mind raced, desperately trying to remember what I might have said to make it affect her in this way. “So she took the children away because of that?” I asked, dumbfounded. Michael nodded, his face clearly marked with regret. Gradually, everything began to make sense.
