Finding Relief
Though shaken, Michael and Loretta found a sense of relief now that the truth was finally out in the open. “It’s difficult to accept, but at least we know the whole story now,” Loretta said, trying to find comfort in the resolution of the ordeal. Michael nodded slowly, still processing the emotional whirlwind they had endured. “We did what was necessary to protect Mom,” he affirmed with quiet determination.
Together, they understood it was time to shift their focus from the past trauma toward healing and rebuilding. Their priority was ensuring Cathy’s continued safety, surrounded by people who truly cared. This closure brought them a fragile peace and a chance to start moving forward as a family.
