Spoiled by Neglect 13
I went to visit him in the hospital.
He was pounding the mattress with his fists like a tantrum–throwing child.
Honestly, I took my time watching him suffer before stepping inside.
I’d even brought some chicken soup from a food truck.
He slapped it off the tray.
Soup hit the floor.
He glared at me like I’d betrayed him.
“When I reached out, why didn’t you grab my hand?!”
Oh, how familiar.
Just like last time–when I was bleeding to death in the back of an ambulance.
Back then, I’d actually wondered why he didn’t reach for me.
And then he turned around and used the insurance money to marry someone else.
Got himself a brand new, picture–perfect little family.
Now he’s the victim, and I’m to blame?
As if I had psychic powers to predict he’d suddenly throw himself into traffic.
It’s laughable.

I looked at him cold.
“I was six months pregnant.”
“You wanted me to dive into the street and get myself and the baby killed?”
Then I added with a shrug,
“Maybe if you’d opened your damn eyes and looked both ways like an adult, none of this would’ve happened.”
His eyes went red.
He tried to lunge at me from the bed.
“You bitch!”
I smiled, grabbed the nearest trash can–and smashed it right into his broken legs.
He howled like an animal, face turning ghostly white.
“You’re insane! How could you do that to me?!”
I didn’t blink.
“You clean that mouth up yet?”
He laughed bitterly, chest heaving,
Then demanded, “Where’s my settlement? That money’s mine!”
I scoffed, eyes glinting.
“Oh, I don’t have it. Your mom took every penny.”
His face darkened.

“You gave it to her? Are you out of your mind?!”
I spoke slow, like he was a dumb kid,
“Your legs aren’t the only thing that got busted–your brain’s gone too.”
“You were stuck in here.”
“I was pregnant and too shaken to deal with lawyers, so obviously Linda went to negotiate.”
He screamed at me to call her and get the money back.
I ignored him.
He grabbed his phone, called her himself–whatever she said, it made his face turn black with rage.
I just smiled.
Because I know exactly what Linda’s like.
That woman popped out four or five daughters–sold every one of them off.
Then finally had a son–my husband–and bet her whole future on him.
Now?
Now that he’s crippled and useless, she’s not even showing up at the hospital anymore.
She’s moved on.
Already pinning her hopes on our eldest son.
She even went crawling back to those daughters she dumped, trying to play “loving mom.”
They slammed the door in her face.

So now she comes to me, crying her eyes out- “All I ever did was for you kids!”
“Those ungrateful brats wouldn’t be rich today if I hadn’t sacrificed for them!”
“They get a taste of success and suddenly they forget the mother who made them.”
“They’re nothing but traitors!”
Some people really can talk bullshit like it’s gospel.
Linda?
She’s the queen of that garbage.
