Chapter 10: Healing Wounds
Justice wasn't a magic cure. The family started intense therapy. Ryan had to confront the harsh reality that he had grown up normalizing his mother's toxic behavior, which made him blind to the danger he had unknowingly left his wife in. It was a bitter, painful process.
Sarah learned to rebuild her self-worth, which had been slowly chipped away by years of Evelyn's subtle gaslighting before the physical violence even began. Therapy was their weekly battlefield, but instead of fighting each other, they fought for each other. They learned to communicate their fears, establishing boundaries and a profound, unbreakable trust.
