Heartbroken and feeling abandoned, Sarah quietly packed a bag for herself and Luc. She left for her sister’s house that evening, unsure if she’d ever return. Tom’s calls and texts poured in, but she needed space — and clarity.
After a few days, with her sister’s encouragement, Sarah agreed to meet him. Tom looked exhausted and remorseful. He apologized deeply and told her he had started therapy to become a better husband and father.
Wanting to believe in change, Sarah gave him one last chance — but with boundaries. Tom stepped up, taking full responsibility for baby care: night feedings, diapers, and all. Slowly, he began to understand what it meant to show up for his family.
One night, overwhelmed and teary, Tom whispered, “I’m sorry I wasn’t there. But I won’t miss another moment.” From then on, he never did — and Sarah knew forgiveness had led to something real.
