My MIL Walked into the ER and Screamed, 'He Didn't Sign Up for This Much Stress!'

I checked my phone while Daniel pulled the car around.

Nothing from Ethan.

Not a call.

Not a text.

He didn't know whether Nora had been admitted, discharged, or gotten worse.

Apparently, he could live with not knowing.

I put my phone back in my bag.

If Ethan could go to work without knowing whether his daughter was okay, I could make sure he found something very different waiting for him when he got home.

Daniel took us to his house.

My sister-in-law helped me make a list of everything we'd need for the next few days.

Then Daniel went back with me.

I wasn't going back to argue with Ethan.

I was going back to sort everything out before he came home.

I packed Nora's things first, then mine.

I was done with being treated like an inconvenience in my marriage.
