Chapter 9 - THE SISTER’S CONTRITION

Within an hour of my message hitting the group chat, my phone buzzed with an incoming call from my sister. This time, she wasn't making excuses. She was sobbing uncontrollably. She told me she had officially left the family group chat, packed her kids into her car, and told our mother that she would never let her grandchildren near her toxic presence again. “I’m so sorry it took me getting caught to finally speak up,” my sister choked out. I told her that redemption began with truth, and welcomed her onto our side of the line.
