Molly\u2019s life had been difficult, and her primary concern was Tommy, her son. It was wearing him down to have to move towns and schools all the time. He started misbehaving, picking fights, and harassing other children. Molly never imagined that a phone call from the principal of the school would revive a portion of her past that she had assumed had faded away.<\/p>\n
Tensions between her and her husband, Nigel, grew at home. Tommy was never acknowledged as Nigel\u2019s kid; instead, he was frequently referred to as \u201cyour son.\u201d One evening, he snapped, \u201cWhy can\u2019t you get your son to behave?\u201d Molly was greatly upset by Nigel\u2019s rejection of Tommy, even after they had been together for years.<\/p>\n
Molly attended a meeting at the school the following day to discuss Tommy\u2019s disruptive behavior. She was shocked to see her ex-boyfriend Christian standing next to the principal. \u201cI see myself in him,\u201d Christian, who had long since broken up with Tommy, said as she glanced at him. I want to put things right because I committed a mistake.<\/p>\n
Although Molly wasn\u2019t sure how to react to his abrupt return, she was aware that something needed to shift. When Molly got home from another fight with Nigel that evening, she discovered him unconscious and holding a bottle of alcohol.<\/p>\n
At last, Molly took a stand. \u201cWe\u2019re going somewhere better, Tommy,\u201d she said as she packed their suitcases and awakened him up. Somewhere our love will be felt.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the first time in years, Molly experienced hope as they walked out of the flat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
