Their relationship
had already broken up
the day he had lied.
While he did try to
apologize, she didn’t budge
one bit as “Actions speak louder than words”.
She just continued
staying on for the sake of
her family.

Oh dear. It sounds horrible. I hope she left eventually. I think that proverb is so true, and I like how you worked it in.

Thanks Merril :). Yeah she couldn’t take it anymore and had had enough.

As a parent or being in a family, we often live to favour others and get lost in this mist.
