I counted every single slap.
One.
Two.
Three.
By the time my son’s hand hit my face for the thirtieth time, my lip was split, my mouth tasted like blood and metal, and whatever denial I had left as a father… was gone.
He thought he was teaching me a lesson.
His wife, Emily, sat on the couch watching, wearing that small, poisonous smile people have when they enjoy someone else being humiliated.
My son believed youth, anger, and a massive house in Beverly Hills made him powerful.
What he didn’t know?
While he was playing king…
I was already evicting him in my head.
