The next day, Judy is visiting to spend some time with Abby after picking her up from preschool for me. I'm in the kitchen preparing some snacks while Judy and Abby are in the living room chatting.

Judy's laughter and Abby's giggles fill the air, creating a seemingly perfect picture of family harmony.

As I bring out a tray of snacks, Judy looks up and smiles. "Thank you, Winona. Abby, look at these delicious treats your mom made for us."

Abby grins. "Thanks, Mommy! Yum!"

"You're welcome, Sweety," I say, admiring her work. "Go wash up before you eat."

Abby runs to the bathroom.

Judy takes a seat next to me, her expression turning more serious. "Winona, can we talk for a moment?"

I nod. "Of course, Judy. What's on your mind?"

She lowers her voice. "I've been worried about Jayden, Have you noticed how volatile he's been lately?" "Look, with all due respect, Judy. You did almost have him killed while you were trying to kill me. I think he deserves to be volatile, and more." "Point taken and I certainly expect he and I may never be in the same space again."

"He's been through a lot, Judy. It's understandable that he's having a hard time."

She nods slowly. "I know, but it's more than that. He seems... different. He flies off the handle at every little thing. He never was that bad before I don't think."

I force a smile, trying to hide my own concerns. "It's been a rough few weeks. Maybe you should have thought about his mental health before you tried to run his life for him."
