Chapter 25 / 28
Chapter 25 - MARK’S FIRST UNSUPERVISED VISITTwo years after the police call, Mark earned a limited unsupervised daytime visit.
Not overnight.
No bath.
No medication administration except emergency items under documented rules.
Sophie was seven.
She wanted to go to the science museum.
I hated it.
Not the museum.
Letting her leave with him.
My lawyer reminded me:
“Safety plans cannot become permanent punishment without evidence.”
Therapist agreed.
Mark had complied.
No violations.
Treatment.
Supervised visits.
Accountability.
Sophie wanted more normal contact.
I let the process work.
Four hours.
Mark returned her three minutes early.
Sophie ran inside carrying a fossil kit.
“Daddy let me touch a meteorite.”
“Cool.”
“And we used the bathroom.”
My heart stopped.
She rolled her eyes.
“To pee, Mom.”

I sat down.
Apparently trauma does not improve dignity.
