"You are being selfish and unfair, not to me, but to our children, denying them to be with their father."
"Look who's talking about selfishness and injustice! I haven't denied them anything, it was you who abandoned them," Emily retorted. "You'll get the divorce, I'll be happy to sign it for you, but you're not going near my children again."
"What if they want to see me?"
"That's for them to decide when they're old enough. For now they're in my care, and that's the way they'll stay," Emily concluded.
Then Dean also flew into a rage: "I didn't think you were so vindictive. I can see you're hurt that I left you for someone better, with more class and education, that's why you want to get even."
Emily froze for a few seconds.
Then she reacted and, unable to contain herself any longer, she slapped him, not only for what he had just told her, but for the years of anguish he had put her through, disappearing from her life, from her home, and abandoning her with five small children.
"Did it hurt? Good! Because the kids and I felt the same way when you left without even saying goodbye. I'm sorry, you know I'm not one to lash out. But you deserve it, I hope that helps you understand what you did to your family," she exclaimed as he was stunned by the blow. It was the first time she had rebelled against Dean since she had met him, and, to her surprise, this made her feel pretty good. Although, knowing Dean, she was a little worried about what his reaction would be.
