“But sometimes when things happen to people they changed and sometimes, instead of taking it out on the people who have caused the problem, it’s expedient to take it out on the closest people to you, that happened.”
“Why did I take it for so long? Because I loved him and I loved my children and my children loved their father. So you make sacrifices because of the family.”
