Unspoken Echoes

The writer is filled with anger and bitterness, shaped by years of cruelty and control from a man who never cared for her or her family. Despite his brokenness after a stroke, the writer feels no sympathy, as the damage he caused is irreversible. His emotional and physical abuse left deep scars, and the writer has learned to lock away her emotions in self-defense. Now, as he lies vulnerable, expecting compassion, the writer realizes he doesn't deserve it-his suffering is a result of his own actions. Ultimately, she has no empathy for him, as he brought his downfall upon himself.
