While cleaning, Crystal discovered wads of money under her daughter Daisy’s bed. Concerned, she confronted Daisy and uncovered a heartbreaking truth, leading to an urgent call to her ex-husband.
Hello to all the single moms out there! Meet my world, my eight-year-old daughter Daisy. Last week, after putting her on the school bus, I tackled the cleaning, ending up in Daisy’s room.
Amid the usual chaos of toys and books, I found boxes under her bed filled with several hundred dollars. Where had Daisy gotten this money? That afternoon, I demanded answers. Daisy, tearful, revealed the money was for her dad, William. She explained, “Daddy said I need to pay him if I want to see him.”
Stunned, I called William. He clarified, “It was a joke, Crystal. I didn’t know she took it seriously.” Furious, I told him Daisy had been saving to see him. Realizing the gravity, William asked to speak to Daisy and promised to visit her.
Daisy’s joy knew no bounds when she shared, “Daddy’s coming next weekend!” Relieved, I reassured her that her saved money would go to something special, not for seeing her father.
Sometimes, the ones we love can unintentionally hurt us, but it’s crucial to communicate and heal together.
