I should feel grateful, but instead I feel coerced. Again. But it’s my own fault. I have so many things going on, and I want to focus all my energies on getting custody of Sam. If everything else in my life is an uphill battle, I can’t concentrate on that.

As I hear a car coming up the long, winding drive I set my coffee cup on the porch. Sam is here.

Moments later, as the rental comes into view, I run down the steps. When I open the car door, my son’s smile greets me, and I know my heart is breaking into tiny mother pieces.

He holds his arms out as I loosen the car seat straps.

“Mommy.”

I scoop him out of his seat and hold him tight. He wraps his little arms around me, and it’s the best feeling ever.

“Oh, baby. I’m so glad you are here. I’ve missed you.”

He pushes back, and I’m lost in his little baby face. He gives me a big kiss on the cheek.

“Summer.”

The voice of my mother. She’s not my biggest fan right now, but I put up with her so I can see my son without seeing my ex, and she puts up with me so I don’t cut her off financially. We have a very special mother-daughter relationship.

“Mother.”

“You’re looking rural.” She eyes me with a frown.

“Thanks,” I reply. “I’m trying.”

“Coleman was right about your hair. Doesn’t flatter you.”

“I’m keeping the hair.” I walk toward the trunk. “Let’s get your stuff out.”

She pops the trunk with the key fob.

“Are you ready to stay with Mommy for a whole week?” I say to Sam.

“Yes. I want to stay with Mommy.”

“Good.”

I set Sam down and hand him his suitcase. It has a handle he can pull. After grabbing my mother’s over-packed bags we all make our way to the house. I’m going to need a chiropractor after lugging her luggage up the stairs to her room.

Sam and I race back downstairs to the kitchen.

“So,” my mother says as I make Sam a snack. “What was that fiasco with Meghan Cascade about? Coleman told me you really blew it and practically kicked her out of here.”
