Henry Can’t Take It
Henry knew that he had to get away for his own peace and sanity. "I can't do this anymore, Sarah, I’m cramped in this house, " Henry confessed one evening, his voice choked with emotion. "I need some time alone to clear my head."
He hung his head in shame, he knew that he was being selfish. He was leaving Sarah in a difficult circumstance. But he had to put himself first, for them.
Sarah Steps Up
Sarah's heart shattered at his words, but she knew he needed space to process his emotions. "Take all the time you need, Henry," she said softly, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'll take care of Noah."
Henry said he was going to stay with his parents for a few days. Sarah hated him for being so weak. But she had no choice but to be strong for her son. She could do it alone.
Finding Routine
Alone with her son and their faithful dog, Sarah found strength she never knew she had. She tended to Noah day and night, never once wavering in her determination to see him through this ordeal.
Even Sparky got accustomed to wearing the cheaper brand diapers which saved Sarah so much time. She was getting the hang of being a single mother.
