I’m 74 years old, and my name is Margaret. After my husband died, I moved in with my son, Michael, and his wife, Rebecca.

Since then, Rebecca has stopped forcing me to drink water.

Instead, she simply sits beside me, asks how I’m feeling, and we decide together what

needs to be done.

And whenever I look at the tiny scar still left on my hand, I no longer remember the fear of that night. Instead, I remember the woman who spent three months trying to protect me while forgetting that I, too, had the right to know the truth.
