This became unbearable at the end!! I could not, for the life of me, understand her justification for wanting to leave! Why? You've been whining the whole book about not having anywhere to go and being afraid since you had nothing. Then, you get proposed to, have a job, and a safe place for your child but you'd rather mooch off his sister when you had ZERO prospects for the future. No home, no job, not enough money to do anything... I couldn't believe it!
