I put my hand on the white bitch's head and brushed her hair back with a meaningful near-teary smile. She looked startled and then resentful like, "You can't help me. So keep your pity as well."
Have I destroyed another life? Indirectly, by divorcing its deadbeat dad?
Where is the safety net for non-traditional families? Society asks, gives nothing.
And then my pelvis fell asleep.
