After a difficult divorce, Betty tried her best to raise her son Josh alone. He often dreamed of the happy days when his parents were together, and although she wished the same, she knew those times were gone. When Josh met his father’s new partner, Sylvia, Betty felt hurt and confused, especially when she heard Sylvia referred to as his “new mom.” The tension left their family broken, and Betty struggled with her own emotions while watching Josh quietly miss the family he once had.
Time passed, and suddenly, everything changed. Sylvia called Josh in tears—she had been left alone while expecting a baby. Josh felt responsible and stayed in touch to make sure she was safe. Months later, he came home carrying a newborn in his arms. Sylvia had fallen seriously ill shortly after giving birth, and with no one else to help, Josh made the brave decision to bring his baby brother home. Shocked but moved by her son’s courage, Betty allowed the baby to stay temporarily, hoping the boy’s father would step up—but he never did.
