Matthew filed for divorce when Anne couldn’t give him a son, but still lived in their home. Anne reconnected with an old friend, Harry, and found comfort in his support. As Matthew’s behavior worsened, Anne packed up with her five daughters and moved in with Harry. She won full custody and the house in court.
Anne and Harry eventually fell in love, and when they had a son, Alan, Anne felt truly happy. Years later, while shopping with Alan, she ran into Matthew, now working at a mall pretzel shop. He asked if they could sell their old house, but Anne had already moved on and gave him half its value. Her daughters had a new father figure in Harry, and Matthew faded from their lives.
The story highlights that family is more than just DNA, and that actions have consequences.
