A diary of a woman in a separation, living with her young daughter, a single parent for the first time. She's challenged and broken but keeps fighting and introspectively reflects on her marriage. The culture imposes on her that she needs to get back with her husband but she isn't convinced and suspects/knows he's cheating. He pays no child support and at the beginning he kind of forced her into renting an apartment that's too expensive basically saying, 'you'll figure it out'. She never knows when the husband will show up, she never knows where he lives. He had the power that way but she has the power of their daughter and custody. Eventually he disappears, as a slow fade to black. She eventually moves on but she stumbles a lot learning how to single parent.
