B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.

"I do" believe you "better"ed him in this inasmuch as he's much "worse" off without you & knows it. Still, I know it sucks.

I echo Mariann's words. Narcissists are like the worst kinda people to exist!
True that, lol !!Narcissist don't understand the vow of marriage
This hurts in such a real way. You chose the exact right words to make the emotion echo long after reading. The heartbreak and the disappointment reverberates. Beautifully done.
