I should have known then that Delaney wasn’t looking for the truth.
She was looking for permission to punish me.
By Sunday morning, she had found it.
At 7:08 a.m., I woke to dozens of notifications on my phone.
Delaney had posted the photograph in a neighborhood Facebook group.
Her caption read:
Some women will smile in your face for eleven years while secretly pursuing your boyfriend. Imagine trusting someone like that around your family. And if you knew what else she has been hiding, you would never let her near your children.
The comments were brutal.
People called me a homewrecker.
Some accused me of being jealous of Delaney’s relationship.
Others claimed that women like me should never be trusted around other people’s families.
Then the post took a darker turn.
Delaney added a second allegation.
She claimed I had misused school fundraiser money to purchase materials from Caleb’s employer.
