Chapter 13 - DANIEL CHOSE A SIDE WITHOUT MAKING ME ASKLisa expected Daniel to mediate.

He didn’t.
He told her:
“What you did was wrong.”
She said:
“She slapped me.”
Daniel answered:
“Yes.”
“Evelyn has admitted that was wrong.”
Then:
“You haven’t spent enough time admitting what came before it.”
Lisa cried.
“You’re choosing your wife.”
Daniel said:
“I’m choosing the facts.”
That mattered more.
I did not need a husband blindly defending me.
I needed one who could say:
Lisa shoved you.
Wrong.
You slapped her.
Also wrong.
The difference in severity and context mattered.
So did accountability on both sides.

That is what adult loyalty should look like.
Not pretending your person is incapable of fault.
