Victor let out a deep sigh \u2014 its echo seemed to ripple through the house, as if carried by the air.\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a secret, Mason,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if we tell Mommy, it\u2019s going to make her sad. Do you want Mommy to be sad, buddy?\u201d\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t,\u201d Mason answered.\n\n\n\n
At that moment, pretending she didn\u2019t hear a thing, Paige yelled, \u201cSon! Victor! Mom\u2019s home!\u201d\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d she asked, as Mason leaped into her arms.\n\n\n\n
Nothing, honey,\u201d Victor said, winking. \u201cJust a boys\u2019 chat. Welcome home.\u201d\n\n\n\n Since Victor was the perfect husband and father, Paige tried to convince herself that the conversation she overheard was truly nothing important. She thought to herself that Victor probably gave Mason too many sweets or let him eat junk food, and that\u2019s what they tried to hide from her.\n\n\n\n \u201cDo I look that stupid?\u201d \n\n\n\n The woman took her clothes and entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her.\n\n\n\n The ensuing confrontation was a whirlwind of tears, accusations, and heartbreak. Victor attempted to deny everything, relying on his charm. Paige knew that if she hadn\u2019t seen it with her own eyes, she might have fallen for his lies.\n\n\n\n \u201cI have nothing else to say to you,\u201d Paige said.\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat did you expect, Paige?\u201d Victor asked.\n\n\n\n The woman fled the house and Paige was left to confront the man she no longer knew.\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re never here,\u201d he lashed out. \u201cYou\u2019re never around. And when you\u2019re home, you spend all your time on Mason or working. What about me?\u201d\n\n\n\n He tried to portray himself as a victim. \u201cI need human contact, too,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t know what you get up to when you\u2019re flying all over the country. I bet you\u2019ve got stories, too.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, Victor,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m not you. My vows meant something to me.\u201d\n\n\n\n Eventually, Paige asked Victor to move out and filed for divorce. Reflecting on that conversation between him and her son that she had overheard, Paige realized the signs were always there, but she tried to ignore them because she only saw the good in her soon to be ex-husband.\n\n\n\n Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After four miscarriages and plenty of plain to overcome, Paige and her husband, Victor, finally welcomed a son in their life.
