I Refused to Cancel My Honeymoon Because of a Family Crisis

Cassie’s wedding night turned into a nightmare when her 16-year-old stepson suffered a car accident, landing him in intensive care but stable. Her husband insisted on skipping their honeymoon to stay with him, despite her protest, “It’s not like he died!” Feeling sidelined, she went alone. While there, a Facebook selfie stopped her cold—her stepson in his hospital bed, flanked by her husband and his ex-wife, all beaming like a perfect family. Her blood boiled as she called her husband 11 times, but he didn’t answer, leaving her texts unanswered for five

days. Crushed, her first days as a bride were marred by the realization that his son and ex-wife might always come first, despite his earlier claims that she was his priority. Lost and furious, Cassie now faces a marriage tested by this crisis. Should she confront him, demand better communication, or reassess her place in this blended family? Her journey reflects the painful choices love sometimes demands.
