Wow Frances! What an incredible story of love, romance, deception, and pain you so vividly described. My mom was a single mother because she wouldn’t put up with that behavior. She was married and divorced 3 times.

You are a strong, intelligent woman I’m sure your parents were proud of in their own way. Products of the times and culture, their destiny took them both by surprise. May your spirit be at peace and your heart on the mend.❤️‍🩹 🙏🏽🌹
