Chapter 21 - ADRIAN AND GRACE
Adrian’s contact with Grace began under structured court arrangements because of the domestic-violence history.
Supervised first.
Then expanded after compliance with treatment, no further violence, and professional recommendations.
I hated parts of that process.
Safety did not require me to enjoy fairness.
Grace deserved the chance to know her father if he could behave safely.
He learned to arrive on time.
Bring diapers.
Follow routines.
No Vellaro entourage.
No grand gifts without discussion.

Fatherhood became smaller than empire.
Better.
