They sent me postcards from there. Recently, I found those cards and mentioned to my son how proud his dad had been of that trip. My son looked at me and said, \u201cMom, we didn\u2019t go fishing. Take a closer look at the postcards. Dad was actually looking for a place to move out. The fishing trip was just an excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked closely and was horrified to notice a small brand stamp indicating they were from a state far away\u2014nowhere near where I thought they had gone. Suddenly, everything clicked. It explained why, not long after that trip, my husband decided to separate and move out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, the news of our separation was shocking, but discovering this now cuts even deeper. For years, I had cherished the memory of that \u201cfishing trip,\u201d believing it was one of their final father-and-son bonding moments before our marriage ended. But now I know the truth\u2014my husband was already searching for apartments, and my son knew about it and even helped him. That revelation has made the memory feel like a betrayal, and the pain feels fresh all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=55890\">\u00a0also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2012, my husband took my 14-year-old son on a 3-day fishing trip.
