For years, I believed I knew my daughter completely.
Not just the basics. Not just her routines. I believed I understood her heart.
After my divorce, it had been just the two of us in our small, quiet Massachusetts home. No chaos. No drama. Just calm mornings, shared dinners, and quiet evenings. My thirteen-year-old daughter, Lily, seemed steady and responsible. She did well in school. She followed rules. She never gave me a reason to worry.
Or so I thought.
It started with a casual comment that should have meant nothing.
But it didn’t.
