MONTHS TURN INTO A year, then two, then three. Brock’s ministry is a part-time endeavor, and when he’s jaunting through his other obligations, my boiling desperation and resentment make me a bitch to live with. How dare he get to live his life while I’m hanging on the edge, waiting for him to make time to help me like he promised!

I’m not quite sure whether it’s guilt that spurs my indebtedness or my subtle manipulation to get attention, but I tell Steve, “I feel like we need to pay Brock something.”

Steve disagrees and suggests seeing a psychologist instead, but I spew venom back at him. God appointed Brock to help me. I asked for a sign and He gave me one. Steve gives in.

Sometimes I see myself as an urchin who’s missed the school bus. As it drives off into the distance, I’m overtaken by a sickening, debilitating feeling of being left here alone—abandoned.
