Julia’s world shattered into a million pieces when her husband Tom was diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, the prognosis was bleak and he left her for another world just two months later.
Though her heart ached, she knew she needed to remain strong for her son Rob who was still very young and devastated by the loss of his dad.
Months passed by, and the grief only grew stronger, but then, Tom’s brother, Mike, became part of Julia’s and Rob’s life. Julia knew that Mike felt something for her since childhood, but she chose Tom and never looked back.
However, Mike’s presence in their life started feeling good so Julia made a decision to marry him and give her son a father figure.
Mike and Rob seemed to grew fond of one another. Well, at the end of the day, Mike was Rob’s uncle, and he was now also his mother’s husband.
Julia often came home to hear Mike and Rob’s fun stories about their day. But one day, she arrived to an eerie silence. Mike hugged her, revealing Rob had left, leaving a letter explaining his departure. Rob wrote that he felt it was better for everyone if he wasn’t around, citing his belief that he was a burden. Later, Julia learned from her sister, Schuyler, that Mike had secretly convinced Rob to leave, using guilt to manipulate him. Julia discovered the truth through a burner phone Mike used to contact Rob. After divorcing Mike, Julia bought a house near Rob, attending his wedding and becoming a grandmother.
