“and found myself standing in my kitchen preparing dinner for my husband and two children “
I’m having trouble with this line. Even if the community didn’t get called, and assuming your husband would have cooked if he could, there’s always cereal and milk or sandwiches. I think we have to be careful not to “find ourselves” in unhealthy situations unless it is unpreventable.
(this is not a personal comment TO you, it is a thought brought on by those words)
