Chapter 14 - Dean And Priscilla Choose Separately
Dean and Priscilla spent nearly two years separated.
Priscilla completed court requirements, repaid what she could, and continued counseling.
She never asked Margaret to tell Dean to take her back.
That mattered.
Dean eventually decided not to resume the marriage.
Not because Priscilla could never change.
Because forgiveness and reconciliation were different decisions.
Margaret forgave parts of what happened slowly.
She did not restore financial trust.
Priscilla accepted that.
At their final conversation, Priscilla said:
“I thought because you had more, taking a little didn’t really take anything from you.”
Margaret answered:
“It took my choice.”
Priscilla nodded.
That was the lesson she had resisted from the beginning.

Money was only the visible part.
Permission was the deeper one.
