My Little Daughter
Answered My Husband’s
Laura’s ordinary evening shattered when her five-year-old, Lisa, answered her husband Mark’s phone, whispering, “I can’t keep secrets from Mommy.” A woman’s voice replied,
“That’s okay, sweetheart. Daddy and I have lots of secrets,” then hung up. Suspicious, Laura ignored Mark’s “spam call” excuse and followed him. Instead of an affair, she found Emily—Mark’s sister, whom he’d claimed died years ago. Emily had actually fled their abusive father, and
Mark, too young to resist, went along with the lie. Recently reunited, he hid their meetings, unsure how to tell Laura. Hurt but understanding, Laura embraced the truth. Lisa gained an aunt, and the family grew stronger, healing from a painful past.
