You've been cheating on me this whole time? Who's Cathy? Huh?" we were arguing inside the room where my daughter was burst in tears."I don't owe you an explanation. Cathy is nothing. She's just a friend!" "You dare to lie in front of me? After all I have been through because of you? You're such a loser".

What happened to you and Nick?" my mom asked. They were so clueless of how my life has been after I got married. Beside from the money that Nick monthly sent to them, and the video chatting that we had every once in a while, I don't really open much of my problems as I was too embarrassed to let them know of my situation. "Mom, Dad, I can't do it anymore, however, I still love Nick. I was so deeply wounded that he has been cheating. I could accept that he will beat me before, but this? I can't", I cried in my father's arms."I know you. You're so resilient. But have you heard your mom complaining of me beating her to death? Never! It's a red
