A marriage in trouble

The only one not aware of what was going on was Deb.

Jenifer reached out her hand to Deb, who has suddenly lost her voice. “Deb, it is so nice to see you here. Jack has been working very hard. Your marriage and your family are so important to him. I see…”

Suddenly, Deb got her voice back. “What the fuck is going on here? Who the fuck are you and what about…”

Joyce cut her off. “Now sit down and shut up.” Deb was shocked. She’s fought with her sister, but now she’s realizing that Joyce was in on this all along. Joyce raised her hand to quiet Deb. “It’s time for you to listen. So stop those voices, stop those comebacks, stop trying to be in control of everything. Listen to me. Really listen to me. This is the last chance for your marriage. Let me tell you about your future.”

Deb was having none of this and attempted to get up. Joyce pushed her back down with a force that stopped Deb cold. “IS A DIVORCE WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU GOT ISSUES? WELL HONEY, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE A WHOLE LOT MORE ISSUES, PRETTY NASTY ISSUES UNLESS YOU SIT DOWN HERE AND DROP THAT FUCKING ATTITUDE. GOT IT? THERE AIN’T NO MORE CHANCES IF YOU LEAVE NOW.”
