Linda's Legacy

... Just like I had with him. And Jeff. And Danny."

She was weeping openly. I could only stare at her.

"Emma. I am a selfish, thoughtless bitch. I have always been a selfish, thoughtless bitch. I will probably always be a selfish, thoughtless bitch. That's why I'm married to Doug now. Because at least I won't be able to hurt him. Not like that. I don't have his heart."

At that, she broke down crying again. I put my hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"And you..." she finally choked out, "You're Just Like Me!"

"Mom!"

"You think you can flounce off to Chicago to, to, serve yourself up to another man, to a, a, hollow, charismatic womanizer like that, while Bradley stays at home with the kids and waits for you to be done getting fucked? Just like I did with Jim? And Danny? You think that WORKS? Because they're GOOD MEN who have no choice but to FORGIVE you? Because you're married, and have a house, and have kids, and they're stuck with you? Because you're ENTITLED to it? Because you need to feel sexy, and free, and you need to have men looking at you in a blue dress and making you feel pretty? And you think you can get away with it? Oh, no, honey. Fuck That. Fuck YOU. You might as well flush your rings down the toilet right now and give Bradley whatever he wants in the divorce."

"I..." That was as far as I got before I felt a wave of nausea rock me back. Then it became a tsunami and I staggered and fell over on my ass. My arms were shaking as I ...

"There you go. Let it out. Let all that bad stuff out. You see it now, don't you? You see. I burned my own life down. I've ruined everything, again and again. I never stopped. Don't you dare do the same."

I don't know how it's possible to cry and vomit at the same time, but I did it. My head was as churned-up as my belly:You stupid, stupid, STUPID bitch! Why did you think this was a good idea? What the fuck is wrong with you? How would you feel if he did this to YOU? You fucking saw it coming. Bradley saw it from a mile away, and SO DID EVERYBODY ELSE, you dumb slut. Didn't he say he'd been WARNED about you? You don't deserve your husband. You don't deserve Love. You don't deserve Braelyn and Cayden and your happy home. You don't deserve to be married to anyone. You're going to end up just like your mother. You think like her, you act like her, you even LOOK like her, and you're going down the same goddamn stupid slutty path. You're gonna end up, ALONE, after however many meaningless marriages, in the same kind of Hell.

After what felt like nine years of that, mom gave me some mouthwash and made me eat two more cookies. She said the ginger would settle my stomach. She brushed my hair and let me change my clothes. I didn't even have to go into the bag I'd packed. We're the same size, I could wear any of her ...
