Elena’s happiest day quickly turned into a nightmare when her husband, Michael, wasn’t there for the birth of their first child. Alone in the hospital with her mother, Elena struggled to understand why Michael had disappeared.
Upon returning home, Elena found a note from Michael blaming her mother for his sudden departure. The note revealed that Michael had been having an affair with a wealthy colleague and chose to leave Elena and their baby, Emily. Her mother had confronted him about the affair, giving him the choice to confess or leave, and he chose to leave.
As Elena processed the betrayal, she felt anger and confusion, especially after her mother took the decision from her, never giving Elena the chance to hear Michael’s side. Despite the heartache, Elena resolved to focus on her daughter and adjust to being a single parent, with her mother’s support—though their relationship would never be the same.
Michael never contacted her again, and Elena came to terms with the fact that her daughter would never know him.
