One week later, I found myself in a modest but comfortable apartment on the other side of town. It wasn’t much, but it was mine. My daughter’s words still rang in my ears as a constant reminder of how quickly things had changed. I had always imagined that I’d spend my later years surrounded by family, cherished and respected.

The first few days after leaving were filled with a mixture of emotions—anger, sadness, but also a peculiar sense of freedom. I spent my… CONTINUE READING…

I was folding laundry when suddenly Lili’s voice rang out from the living room: — Mom! She has something in her mouth again! — Who? — I froze mid-step. — Marsa! A puppy! Another one!

Olga squeezed Alina’s wrist so hard the girl cried out in pain. The… CONTINUE READING…
