Inside the quiet confines of her home, Emma allowed herself to sob freely. She cried for the man she had married, the man who had been kind and loving once, whose priorities had shifted so dramatically. She cried for the future that seemed uncertain. But with each tear, her resolve grew stronger.

Emma spent the following days reaching out to friends and family, sharing her story with those she trusted. The response was overwhelming. Her friends rallied around her, providing not just emotional support, but practical help as well. They helped her set up the nursery, accompanied her to doctor’s appointments, and ensured she never felt alone.
