CHAPTER

Ten

A few weeks passed before Jeremy and I spoke again. I finally got up the nerve to ask him if he wanted to spend some time with Justin. As angry as I still was, I didn’t want to keep our son from his father.

When Jeremy came over for that visit, I noticed he hopped on my phone right before I walked out the door. As I said goodbye, he was distracted by the phone conversation and nodded absentmindedly in my direction. “See you, Pattie,” he said and went right back to chatting with whomever he was talking to.

I returned two hours later. Jeremy was still on the phone. “Who are you talking to?” I asked, annoyed, wondering if he had been on the phone the entire time.

“My mom,” he whispered without even looking up.

I couldn’t believe it. His mom lived in British Columbia. It was a two-hour-plus long-distance phone call that I’d have to pay for.

I was furious. “Have you been talking to her this whole time?”

Jeremy stood up just as he hung up the phone. He cocked his hip to one side and spread his legs like a cowboy. His face was plastered with an all-too-familiar arrogance as he haughtily challenged my question. “Um, yeah, so what’s it to you?”

I wanted to wipe the smugness right off his face. I couldn’t stand his audacious attitude. I had no time for it anymore. I had depleted my reserve of patience, and in yet another display of immature anger, I lost my composure. With all my might, I swung back my right leg and kicked him where the sun don’t shine.

Jeremy dropped to the floor, writhing in pain. He rolled around, moaning and trying to catch his breath. I’ll be honest: it was pretty satisfying seeing him in a moment of weakness. It felt good to be in control for once. But I knew deep down that it wasn’t the right thing to do. I also knew I could very well have just instigated a fight that had the potential to end badly, even in violence.

As my ex continued to groan muffled insults, fear gripped me. I started shaking. Though Jeremy had never been physically violent with me, I knew how strong he was and the temper he had. I knelt on the floor beside him and started apologizing. “I’m so sorry, Jay. I’m so sorry.” He continued to roll around the floor in agony from my strategically placed kick. “Please don’t hurt me,” I begged. “Please don’t hurt me.”

I was petrified at that point. It was anyone’s guess what would happen next.

Jeremy got up from the floor and in one move shoved me into the wall. I opened my eyes just as the spit from his mouth landed in my hair. Even though I hadn’t moved, I was out of breath, panting for air that wasn’t circulating fast enough.

My friend Missy, who had come back with me and had been in the other room, had run toward us. She bent
