I hardly got any sleep last night because Eric has an earache and he kept me up all night. He is such a sweet boy most of the time! It’s not his fault that his ears hurt. The only thing that soothes him is being carried around, which is not easy. He weighs at least twenty-five pounds now. I walk him up and down the hallway, which is the only place in the apartment that doesn’t have anyone living below. I know it would be annoying to having a continuous squeaking above for hours in the middle of the night.

Being a parent is so lonely. I had no idea. This little guy is such a sweetie pie, I can’t imagine not having him. But it doesn’t change the fact that caring for him is so much harder than I thought it would be. The nighttime when he was a fussy baby and there was no one to talk to and nothing to watch on television was the worst. That’s when I start wondering and thinking that things could have been so different if I hadn’t slept with that monster, Jack. I have a plan now, devised in the night hours when I am here alone with a toddler. I am going to find out if my contract with him is still in force with him dead. I want badly to confront his wife; oh my God, I want her to know what a real motherfucker her husband was. His mother already knows; I went to her right away, trying to get at Jack. It didn’t work, of course, but I did get money out of it. His friends think that he got screwed giving me a million dollars, but I actually got more. Almost a million and a half. I am frugal to the extreme with the money, so I should never have to work again. I mean, I am miserly. I only go into that office to have something to do and so I can continue getting the gossip about Sandra. My parents can provide for us, but I have to be independent, so it’s nice having my own money.

Jack told everyone he made me have an abortion. Ha ha ha! Guess what? In the first place, my parents are Dutch Reformed. Do you think ever in a thousand years that one of their children would have an abortion? It was bad enough having to go to them for protection when he was threatening me, threatening to kill me if I told his wife! Screw you, Jack Smith! Don’t believe him for a second. He enjoyed every second he spent with me, trust me. He told someone I work with—went right to my office—that I came on to him and he was upset about his father dying so he succumbed and that it wasn’t worth a million dollars. Yeah, right! You’ve got to be kidding me! I did come on to him because he is ravishing; you know that about Jack, right? He is so handsome; the word “hunk” was made to describe him.
