My ex showed up at the ER demanding I come home.

And the head trauma surgeon stepped between us.

My ex was yelling my name so loud, every person in the hospital could hear.

Two weeks ago, he punched a hole through our bedroom door because he said dinner was too cold when he got home.

I finally had enough, and packed as much as I could and left, hoping to never see him again.

He grabbed my arm and yanked me back so hard that the walker slid out from under my patient’s hands.

The old man stumbled backward and luckily fell perfectly into the chair behind him, but my ex’s grip tightened as he pulled me farther away.

His voice went deadly calm,
