The crayon drawing trembled in my hands as I stared at the face my granddaughter had captured so perfectly. After years of polite excuses and redirections, Mia\u2019s artwork revealed the secret my son, Peter, and his wife, Betty, had been hiding in their basement.\n

I\u2019ve had my share of highs and lows in life, but raising my son Peter was the best part. He grew into a fine man, married Betty, and they had a daughter, Mia, the sweetest granddaughter. But something changed three years ago. Peter stopped inviting me to their house. They still visited me, but their home became off-limits.\n

Then, last Tuesday, I decided to surprise them with an antique music box I thought Betty would like. When I arrived, the atmosphere was tense, and I sensed something was wrong. During dinner, Betty seemed desperate to keep me from the basement, and Peter was unusually stiff. I felt it in my bones\u2014something was being hidden.\n

A few days later, Peter and Betty asked me to watch Mia. As we sat drawing together, Mia showed me a picture of their house with a solitary figure in the basement. \u201cThat\u2019s Grandpa Jack,\u201d Mia said. \u201cHe lives downstairs.\u201d Jack, my ex-husband, the man who abandoned us twenty years ago. I was stunned.\n

When Peter and Betty went upstairs, I walked to the basement door, which was locked. After a tense pause, Jack opened the door. He apologized, and I couldn\u2019t help but enter, though I was furious. Jack explained he lost everything, and after a long time, came to Peter to apologize. Peter had allowed him back, despite everything.\n

Jack had been living in the basement for three years. Peter and Betty had been hiding him to protect me from the pain. But to me, it felt like a betrayal.\n

When Peter and Betty confronted me, I demanded an explanation. Peter admitted he feared I\u2019d make him choose between me and his father. Jack, now sick and nearing the end of his life, was desperate to make amends. But I couldn\u2019t forget what he had done to us. It hurt too much.\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to pretend this doesn\u2019t hurt,\u201d I told them, and walked out, unsure of what to do next.\n

Two days later, I still don\u2019t know if I can forgive Jack for abandoning us or if I should accept him back into my life. What would you do if you were in my shoes?\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
