She is determined not to show any emotion, especially in front of her husband, who expects her to remain composed at all times. She wishes for peace, but shes unsure what to expect. Many couples split up when feelings fade and the ideal life pictured on the covers of magazines slips out of reach. When divorce becomes unavoidable, she finds a job working night shifts. Still, a new challenge appearsshe has a young son who needs constant care. Although she enrolls him in a nursery, it closes at 7pm and she has no one else to leave him with.
With little choice, she asks her ex-husband to look after their son after 7pm while she’s at work. He flatly refuses, acting as if its no concern of his, questioning why he should take care of their son instead of her. Though briefly unsettled, she gathers herself and stands firm, declaring that both of them share equal rights and responsibilities as parents, and that he ought to make time for his own child. She points out that he should pay child support, but she won’t sacrifice her own time for his sake. Her main priority is to have her child with her.
She manages to get through this difficult phase, finding some way to balance work and motherhood. The road is far from easy; she faces frequent setbacks, panic attacks, and physical challenges caused by stress. Realising she cant carry on like this, she seeks medical help. The doctors excuse, implying she is neglecting her parental responsibilities while her ex starts a new family with his new wife, is both shocking and painful. He now sees their own son as an inconvenience in his new life, offering only minimal support and resources.
In the end, she finds herself caught in a small battle where her self-centred, unscrupulous ex-husband comes out on top against their young son. This marriage has always been a mystery to her, and she tries to make sense of his actions, especially concerning their son. Despite everything, she refuses to let her ex-husbands selfishness define her life. She learns to face difficulties head-on, determined to give her child the love and care he deserves while building her own future.
