Family vacations should bring you closer together, right? At least that’s what I’ve always believed.
But this time, what began as a treasured family tradition turned into the worst experience of my life.
My job keeps me so busy that I sometimes return home after dinner has been served and the lights have been turned down.
My husband, Mark, used to have a solid career, but that all changed when he was let off a few years ago.
Honestly, I didn’t mind.
But recently, I’d noticed the fissures.
But I didn’t think much about it. I assumed we’d reconnect during our annual trip.
Our annual vacation is a custom we’ve carried on over the years.
