You decide to move in with your mom temporarily, and all hell breaks loose. Welcome to the world of our brave protagonist, who’s battling more than just her health.

Caught in the crossfire of a health crisis and family drama, our protagonist is left to navigate the storm alone. She’s battling a medical condition, but instead of support, she’s met with resistance from her husband and his mother. Her husband’s refusal to accommodate any help, his threats of a year-long silent treatment, and his mother’s accusations of being ‘spoiled and immature’ have left her with no choice but to seek refuge with her own mother. As she fights for her health, she’s also fighting for her dignity and autonomy. Let’s dive into the internet’s reaction to this emotional rollercoaster.
