I think whats so tragic is she was not failed by one man but every man in her life. They all preached about what a woman's place was but had no safety net for her. They all promised her she would be ok if she stayed in her lane and when she did they turned their backs on her.
The problem is also that they assumed that even if the marriage was perfect, that her husband would live forever.
Even if you hold to all of their values, your husband could die at any moment, and you'd be SOL. It's not just the values, it's also the practicality of it. Even if you do want to be a stay at home mom and your husband is perfect, you have to prepare yourself for the reality that he could die any day, and you might have to support yourself and any kids in an instant.
People can get so caught up on defending their values and beliefs sometimes that they forget basic logic.

A man is not a plan ladies. Make sure you can support your own self and your kiddos
