She thought the hardest part would be learning how to sleep alone again, answering sympathy texts, and keeping her kids from seeing how often she cried in the kitchen.
Then the envelopes started arriving.
Credit cards she had never seen. Past-due notices in her husband’s name. A loan attached to the home where she was trying so desperately to keep her family safe.
