When my father came out of the shower and saw me holding his phone, he immediately turned pale. He tried to say something, but I did not let him.
I told him that my mother still knew nothing. I told him I had seen everything. I told him that he had not only betrayed my mother, but had also used her trust against her.
My father sat down on a chair and lowered his head. For the first time, I saw him so weak, so full of shame.
He began to cry.
He said he had made a mistake, that he had lost himself, that he did not deserve us. But I was cold. I told him that a mistake is not something a person repeats for months. That is a choice.
And if he wanted to save the family, he had to change not with words, but with actions.
