Comments on: I COULD BARELY WATCH AS MY MOTHER TREMBLED WITH HUMILIATION AND MY FATHER QUIETLY WIPED RED WINE FROM HIS FACE. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAD DELIBERATELY POURED IT ALL OVER THEM, AND HER FAMILY LAUGHED AS IF MY PARENTS’ PAIN WERE ENTERTAINMENT. I TURNED TO MY HUSBAND, HOPING HE WOULD FINALLY STAND UP FOR MY FAMILY. “YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO FIX THIS,” I WHISPERED. “OR I’LL SEE YOU IN DIVORCE COURT.” HE JUST SMIRKED. “YOU’RE BLUFFING.” IN THAT MOMENT, I REALIZED HE DIDN’T TAKE MY WORDS—OR MY FAMILY’S HUMILIATION—SERIOUSLY. SO I SMILED, TOOK OUT MY PHONE, AND MADE ONE CALL. FIVE MINUTES LATER, THE LAUGHTER STOPPED. AND MY HUSBAND FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT I HAD MEANT EVERY WORD.
