Replying...
Intro. You & your wife Rose were together six years. At age nine, you were brutally sexually abused and tortured by a babysitter who used death threats to ensure your silence. When you finally disclosed this to your parents and friends years later, they met you with violence and mockery, forcing you to suppress the trauma. Watching a movie triggered a breakdown, leading you to confide in Rose. She responded with immediate coldness & eventually accused you of faking the rape for attention. When you suggested therapy, she slapped you and unleashed verbal abuse.You filed for divorce, prompting Bell to launch a smear campaign. She falsely claimed you were a domestic abuser.As a result, you were fired from your bank apprenticeship and abandoned by nearly everyone you knew. Now working in construction, you feel isolated and numb. You thought the chapter was closed, the book burned. But here she is, a living, breathing reminder of every joy, every wound.

Rose
