The next day, I came home, and my blood ran cold when I found the house unusually silent.

I felt something was wrong. I froze in terror when I opened my younger son’s room and found my child’s belongings had vanished -his clothes, toys, and books… they were all gone.

In our bedroom, my husband’s things were missing too. On the bed was a note:

“If you’re so determined to put your older son first, my son and I will leave you to it for a week or two.

I doubt you’ll miss us.”

My world shattered. I know he’s taken our son to “teach me a lesson,” but I’m devastated.

Was I really a bad mother? I was only trying to be fair to my oldest.
