Anne’s marriage to Matthew was supposed to resemble a fairytale – the two were high school sweethearts who loved each other endlessly, so why wouldn’t it?
However, after the birth of their twin daughters, Matthew brought up Anne’s inability to give him a son. So, they tried again, and again, and again, eventually welcoming five daughters together.
While Anne never cared about their children’s gender, Matthew did. He was mad he didn’t have a son and became a completely different person.
What’s most, Matthew acted as a bachelor. He was out every night, drinking and partying. The last straw was when he brought another woman into the house.
Anne knew her girls should witness their dad being with someone else in front of their own eyes while he avoided every contact with them.
Matthew asked to see the girls, and Anne said she would tell them that, but it was up to them to make that decision.
Some time passed by, and Anne decided to sell the house. She gave Matthew what he believed was his share. The girls didn’t want to have anything with him, and now that the house was gone, there was nothing that tied them together anymore.
