The author shares a deeply personal account of the emotional turmoil experienced after the sudden and unexpected end of her 22-year marriage. She describes the unique pain of being abandoned by her spouse, who had carefully planned and executed the separation, leaving her feeling betrayed, confused, and isolated.
The author likens the experience to a "top-secret military operation" against her, with her own daughter, Morgan, changing overnight and siding with the father, a phenomenon known as parental alienation. The author struggles to make sense of the deception and betrayal, feeling that only she knows the full truth, while her family and friends view her as having "lost her mind."
The author poignantly contrasts the experience of grieving a living abandonment versus grieving the loss of a loved one through death, noting that the former is a "special kind of head-f*ck" that is harder to escape and process. She grapples with the overwhelming feelings of being the "loser" in the situation, while the one who abandoned her is the "lucky one."
Throughout the narrative, the author's raw emotions and the profound impact of the betrayal and loss are vividly conveyed, highlighting the unique challenges of grieving a living relationship that has been severed.
