I NOTICED LIKES AND COMMENTS ON MY HUSBAND'S FACEBOOK PAGE FROM HIS EX — SUDDENLY, MY LITTLE DAUGHTER SAID SHE KNOWS HER.
Looking for an old picture, I opened Facebook. Scrolling through, I noticed a beautiful woman liking and commenting on nearly all my husband's posts. These comments felt like something intimate and I felt I was snooping. I didn't recognize her name, but my husband had liked her pictures too.
Something about her felt familiar, but I couldn't place it.
Then my six-year-old daughter ran past, saw the screen, and shouted, "Ella!"
I froze.
"Ella?"
"Yeah! Don't you know her?"
"Should I?"
"Of course! We see her almost every week."
My stomach dropped.
"You see her?! How?"
"Dad picks me up from school, and we meet Ella. We walk together, eat ice cream, laugh… She's so much fun! Oh, wait… Dad told me not to tell you."
I felt sick.
"Sweetheart, when do you see Ella?"
"Every Wednesday!"
Tomorrow was Wednesday. I had my chance.
I arrived at my daughter's school just in time to see Sam pick her up. I followed them. They stopped at a park. And then, she stepped out of another car.
That's when I RECOGNIZED her.⬇️
