Hurricane, Marriage Drama, and UBER Dilemma ️
Our struggling mom is doing her best to keep her family safe and comfortable during the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. With no power or water at home, she decides to extend their stay out of state for 7 more days. Her husband, however, has other plans. He wants to return home to assess the damages and see his affair child, and asks her to extend the car rental so he can do so. But when she’s unable to extend the rental due to a car shortage, he suggests she take an UBER back to the hotel with their three children, late at night, in an unfamiliar city. He even accuses her of being selfish when she expresses her concerns. Is she really being selfish, or is her husband the one who needs a reality check? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
