FINANCIAL STABILITY

FOR THE KID’S SAKE
为了孩子
‘I’ve been married to Rob for over 20 years and we have 3 young kids together. When I was younger my parents broke up and I didn’t deal with it well, which is why I can’t bear to put my children through the same thing. I’m staying in my unhappy marriage for them’. – Emily, 43.

‘If I’m honest, the only real thing that’s holding me back in my marriage is me not wanting to hear my Mom say ‘I told you so’. My Mom never fully backed my marriage and I really don’t want to admit she was right all along, but I don’t know how much longer I can last’. – Rachel, 34.
