When my ex-wife demanded that the money I saved for our late son be given to her stepson, I thought grief had dulled my hearing. But as I sat across from her and her smug husband, their audacity crystal clear, I realized this wasn’t just about money — it was about defending my son’s legacy. I sat on Peter’s bed, and the room was too quiet now. His things were everywhere. Books, medals, and a half-finished sketch he’d left on the desk. Peter loved to draw when he wasn’t busy reading or figuring out some complicated problem that made my head spin. “You were too smart for me, kid,” I muttered, picking up a photo frame from his nightstand. He had that crooked grin, the one he’d flash whenever he thought he was outsmarting me. He usually was. This picture was taken just before my smart boy got into Yale. I still couldn’t believe it sometimes. But he never got to go. The drunk driver made sure of that. I rubbed my temples and sighed. The grief hit me in waves, like it had since November. Some days, I could almost function. Other days, like today, it swallowed me whole. The knock on the door brought me back. Susan. She’d left a voicemail earlier. “We need to talk about Peter’s fund,” she’d said. Her voice was sweet but always too practiced, too fake. I didn’t call back. But now, here she was. I opened the door. She was dressed sharp as always, but her eyes were cold. “Can I come in?” Susan asked, stepping past me before I could answer. I sighed and motioned toward the living room. “Make it quick.” She sat down, making herself at home. “Look,” she said, her tone was casual, like this was no big deal. “We know Peter had a college fund.” I immediately knew where this was going. “You’re kidding, right?” Susan leaned forward, smirking. “Think about it. The money’s just sitting there. Why not put it to good use? Ryan could benefit.” “That money was for Peter,” I snapped. My voice rose before I could stop it. “It’s not for your stepson.” Susan gave an exaggerated sigh, shaking her head. “Don’t be like this. Ryan is family, too.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Family? Peter barely knew him. You barely knew Peter.” Her face reddened, but she didn’t deny it. “Let’s meet for coffee tomorrow and discuss it. You, Jerry, and I.” That evening, the memory of that conversation lingered as I sat back down on Peter’s bed. I looked around his room again, my heart aching. How did we get here? Peter had always been mine to raise. Susan left when he was 12. She didn’t want the “responsibility,” as she’d called it. “It’s better for Peter this way,” she’d said like she was doing us both a favor. For years, it was just me and Peter. He was my world, and I was his. I’d wake up early to make his lunch, help him with homework after school, and sit in the stands cheering at his games. Susan didn’t bother. She’d send a card for his birthday, sometimes. No gifts, just a card with her name scrawled at the bottom. That’s what made the one summer with Susan and Jerry so hard. Peter wanted to bond with them, even if I didn’t trust it. But when he came back, he was different. Quieter. One night, I finally got him to talk. “They don’t care about me, Dad,” he’d said softly. “Jerry said I’m not his responsibility, so I ate cereal for dinner every night.” I clenched my fists but didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to make it worse. But I never sent him back. Peter didn’t mind, or at least he never showed it. He loved school, and he loved dreaming about the future. “One day, Dad,” he’d say, “we’re going to Belgium. We’ll see the museums, the castles. And don’t forget the beer monks!” “Beer monks?” I’d laugh. “You’re a little young for that, aren’t you?” “It’s research,” he’d reply with a grin. “Yale’s going to love me.” And they did. I remember the day the acceptance letter came. He opened it at the kitchen table, his hands shaking, and then he yelled so loud I thought the neighbors might call the cops. I’d never been prouder. Now, it was all gone. That night, I barely slept, preparing for the conversation with Susan. The next morning, I walked into the coffee shop, … (continue reading in the 1st comment)
