The slap comes so fast I don’t register what’s happening until after the impact. One moment I’m standing in their pristine kitchen asking a simple question—could my daughter-in-law please not smoke around me because my damaged lungs can barely handle clean air—and the next moment my son’s palm connects with my cheek with a crack that echoes off the granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.My head snaps to the side. Heat floods my face immediately, spreading from the point of contact outward like ripples in water. I taste copper, that distinctive metallic tang where my teeth have caught the soft tissue inside my cheek. For several seconds, the entire room tilts at an impossible angle, and I have to grip the edge of the counter to keep from falling.
