Chapter 2 - Police Arrive To Witness The Horrific Dining Room Scene
The heavy oak front door of our suburban Chicago home flew open as two uniformed police officers stepped inside.
Officer Miller scanned the opulent dining room, his eyes widening in absolute shock at the disgraceful scene before him.
Silverware clattered onto fine china as Diane and Ryan abruptly stood up from their half-eaten prime rib dinner.
“Officer, thank goodness you’re here; my unhinged daughter-in-law has completely lost her mind tonight,” Diane shrieked hysterically.
I stood near the entryway holding shivering little Lily tightly against my chest, shielding her from their toxic presence.
“Silence, ma'am, I didn't ask for your commentary,” Officer Miller commanded, stepping further into the ruined dining area.
He looked down at the expensive designer dress drenched in gravy and mashed potatoes that Diane now wore.
Then he looked at the floor where a pile of stale breadcrumbs and dropped meat scraps still lay scattered around.

“Is this where you forced a two-year-old child to eat off the floor?” Officer Miller asked, his voice hardening.
Ryan stepped forward nervously, holding his hands up in a placating gesture meant to smooth over the crisis.
