THE THINGS WE TRY TO HIDE FROM OUR CHILDREN

Jason Pettus


When I was little and you and dad would fight, you would go into the bathroom to cry. You would make sure that the door was closed before a tear would fall. I assume that you didn’t want to upset us, to see you in that state.

But I remember this. I remember these incidents very clearly, the soft sounds of your sobs coming from behind the door. And I wanted to hug you, tell you that everything was going to be okay, just like you did so many times for me.

When you’re with your family, there’s no reason to hide the pain. They understand.
