A Thousand Tiny Steps

Having An On Again, Off Again Relationship


Listen Later

In the time leading up to Molly's death, I had a tumultuous relationship with Roy that was on again, off again. This created chaos in my life as I was finally becoming financially stable, finding hobbies I enjoyed, and trying to give my daughters a good life.
