If It Weren't for You

I dreamed of a solid family, of shared evenings, of children—and I wasn’t at all ready for my husband’s betrayal. And when I refused his terms, he threw me out the door, threatening to take away our little daughter and deprive me of parental rights. I have no one to turn to for help, no one to ask for protection. Besides one stranger who happened to save me from bullies. But we’re from completely different social standings, so it’s hard to trust him—and even harder to be together.
