You see me as a guest. A temporary character in your family’s story. But I’m writing my own version too. In mine, I’m not trying to take your son. I’m trying to love him without losing myself. I’m trying to earn a seat at a table that keeps one chair slightly too far back.
Here’s a short text developed from the prompt — written from the perspective of a mother reflecting on her son’s girlfriend, but with a twist: it’s the girlfriend’s version of events, feelings, or the relationship dynamic. Title: The Other Side of the Table
I don’t correct him. But I think: maybe she would. Maybe she’s just never been given the chance.
