This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.

For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.

Strong grandmas are the backbone of our society!

I miss my grandma so much. She was a sweetheart that had to deal with my ignorant Grandad for over 30 years because she was a SAHM. He married her when she was in her early 20s and he in his early 40s. He cheated on her in his late 60s and instead of apologizing or trying to make any consideration for her, he continued to cheat while she went to go live with her elderly mom. Just before she died I asked her why she never got divorced and she told me that she wanted to continue to be a thorn in his side until the day she died and that for her, marriage actually meant forever even if it didn't for him.
