word
has
it
that
he
’s
sober
now
.
or
rather
,
that
he
was
.
that
’s
what
he
texted
terri
when
she
was
pestering
him
a
couple
weeks
ago
.
mom
read
the
text
messages
direct
from
terri
’s
phone
—she’s
holding
onto
it
while
terri
’s committed
in
hospital
and
what
mom
’s uncovered
about
terri
’s behavior paints several
haunting
pictures
.
terri
wouldn’t
leave
shawn
alone
,
she
was
incessant.
“
why
are
you
reaching
out
to
me
when
you
’re
drunk
?”
he
pleaded. “
i
can
’t
deal
with
this
,
my
mom
has
cancer
.”
he
stressed
this
repeatedly.
she
ignored
his
attempt
at
boundary setting
with
her
,
kept
manipulating.
kept
talking
about
how
good
their
sex
life
had
once
been
,
kept
sending
him
nudes
in
her
near
-constant
state
of
total
annihilation.
the
texts
eventually
stopped
,
but
mom
suspects
it's
because
terri
wore
shawn
down
.
it
’s
the
first
time
i
’ve
ever
felt
truly
sorry
for
him
.
people
only
have
so
much
resolve
.
