Confrontation Plans
Emily and I knew it was time—avoiding Tyler wasn’t helping Sarah. “We have to confront this head-on,” I said firmly. She agreed, and together we mapped out a calm but firm approach. Tyler needed to hear us clearly: the sneaky behavior couldn’t be dismissed anymore. Jake and Noah required boundaries, and it was our responsibility to make sure Tyler finally understood.

Tyler’s Defensiveness
When we finally raised the issue, Tyler’s reaction was immediate and sharp. “My boys wouldn’t do that!” he snapped, arms crossed tight. Emily and I held our ground, explaining the missing items and Sarah’s complaints without backing down. “They’ve been in her room, Tyler,” Emily pointed out steadily. He waved us off, stubborn denial etched across his face. But we knew the truth—and we weren’t about to let his excuses jeopardize Sarah’s safety.
