When 35-year-old mother Candice found out the scary truth about her husband Martin, she had to leave her home in the middle of the night with her son Barry.
His mother Linda had no problem with him acting the way he did because he was obsessed with Dakota, his dead ex-lover.
Candice began to rebuild her life with the help of her parents and went to court against Martin. But he and Linda wouldn’t let go, which led to a scary fight that finished with them being arrested.
As Candice started over in a new place, therapy and a group for single moms helped her feel better. She learned that she was stronger than she thought and that the risk had given her the strength to protect herself and her family.
Even though the scars from that night were still there, Candice came out stronger and more eager to give her son a loving home.
From the ashes of her past, she had rebuilt her life. She had learned what true bravery meant and how important it was to protect her family at all costs.
In the end, Candice told her son as he slept, “We’ve come a long way, my darling.” We’ll keep going forward together.
