David started yelling, shouting that he was supposed to inherit the house from his father.

I reminded him that his father left it to me. I spent years enabling him, thinking I was being a good mother, when all I was doing was letting myself be used.

Three weeks later, they were crammed into a tiny two-flat downtown. The house had sold above asking price, and within a month, I moved into my new place. No spare rooms. No one tampering with my belongings. No one expecting me to cook for them.

For months, they had worked hard to convince me that I was the dead weight. But looking back now, I realized the truth. I was never the burden at all.

I was the one carrying them.
