Shortly
after my first husband and I divorced he got a girlfriend. She was nice and
loved my son so she and I were on good terms. Her dad’s birthday fell near
Halloween so they always would throw a themed party for him. Alex was two
years-old and I trusted him with the girlfriend to go to this party with a
bunch of people I didn’t know. I approved of her over-protectiveness. He seemed
to have fun from what he told me when he got home. He was troubled by the naked
man that was there though. My heart sank and I thought that I would vomit when
he said that. I had a horrible fear that something happened to him. So I kept
my anxiety under control and asked him questions about what he had said. Who
was naked? Why was it that Alex had seen this naked man? Had someone hurt him?
As it turns out, the naked man was a door-sized decoration of a skeleton. Naked
because he had no skin. Talk about relief.
