This isn't news to anyone who's met us. It's ironic in a way, and I admit I have some glee in imagining how Mikael would react to this. The child who turned out most like him is the one he didn't father. I just can't take being made to suffer for all his tantrums any more. He actually started trying to command me, saying he wasn't going to let me leave or make the deal, that I would fall in line or suffer for it. When he stops treating me like an object and starts treating me like a sister, I'll listen to him.
Of course he is, he lost you. You're the only woman he's loved in a thousand years. Even Tatia didn't get to him the way you do. Losing you, it hurt all of us more than we thought possible. You became part of the family without us even realizing it. So congrats/commiserations on that?!
