You know, the kind of place where everyone knows your business but pretends they don't.
I've worked as a nurse for over twenty years, patching up strangers while trying to keep my own family from falling apart.
My son, Kyle, was my everything after his dad left us when he was just a toddler.
I raised him on my own through scraped knees, school plays, and those awkward teenage years.
But nothing prepared me for what happened last month.
It started with a phone call that shattered my world.
Kyle, my sweet eighteen-year-old boy, had been in a car accident.
The police said he'd been drinking.
Drunk driving, they called it, like it was just another statistic.
He rear-ended a parked car.
No one hurt but the vehicles.
But when I saw him at the hospital, his eyes bloodshot and his breath reeking of cheap beer, something inside me broke.
"Mama, I'm so sorry," he mumbled as I drove him home, his head hung low.
"It was just a party.
I, I didn't think-" "You didn't think?" I snapped, my voice sharper than I'd intended.
"Kyle, you could have killed someone, or yourself.
What if you had wrapped that car around a tree?" Tears stung my eyes, but I held them back.
I had to be strong.
As punishment, I grounded him hard.
No leaving the house without permission, no friends over, and he wasn't to step out of my sight.
"This is for your own good," I told him that night, sitting him down at the kitchen table.
"I can't risk losing you to some stupid mistake." He nodded, looking defeated.
