Chapter 1
When we met…
I had a perfect life.
At least by most people’s standards.
I was a middle-class girl who had done all the right things: went to school and later graduate school, married my college sweetheart, had two boys, a new house and lots of friends. I’d worked hard, but never too hard. I didn’t have the obstacles that many people had. Maybe I was even a bit spoiled. I never went without. I had to save money and budget and plan, but now I had all the things that everyone dreamed of.
Vacations, cars, a new home, a disposable income, great friends, good family and even after all our years together, I still loved him like I did the first time I said it in college. He was funny, charming, such a good father and supported me in everything I did.
I was lucky.
When we met, I had a perfect life….
