Four Stars

Very good story but slightly disappointing ending, Her husband's emotional abuse was pretty much "he felt bad about it" in the end of the story. No proper apology. She is just back and suddenly "better" after realizing she has been under emotional manipulation. One of the other female characters also quit her job to be a parent instead of again, her husband learning to be a better caretaker. There was even a quote that went like "80% of parenting must be done by the woman" which I waited for it to get dismissed but no matter, the overall gender themes of this story ended up being kind of sloppy.
