Jane Doe Files

Jane Doe grew up in a home where her mother steadily rewrote her father into someone absent, distant, and unworthy, leaving Jane with a one-sided story she never thought to question. Years later, as severe autoimmune problems surfaced, the past began to rearrange itself.

While sorting through old belongings, she uncovered a message her mother had written to her father long ago.

You always had a way of showing up just after it mattered.

After dad said something wasn’t right and you wanted to “wait and see.” After the nights I cried myself to sleep and you told me it was nothing, that I was just tired, just sensitive, just dramatic—anything but what it was.

Looking back now, the signs feel so loud I don’t understand how anyone could have missed them.

And now you give updates.

You talk like this was something that just started but in reality it was slowly building, and you were just too late.

So no, you don’t get to come in now and act like this is something we’re facing together. This didn’t happen together.

It happened with you, in all the spaces where you should have noticed but didn't.

And that’s something neither of us can fix.
