28: Unkept Promises

CHAPTER 28: Unkept Promises

QUOTE: “The most important career choice you’ll make is who you marry.” ― Sheryl Sandberg

LESSON: Keeping promises maintains trust

SYNOPSIS: Following Emilie’s birth, I struggled to recover while juggling work, motherhood, and managing the hotel. Pierre’s absence and lack of involvement deepened my sense of isolation, as I dealt with the daily work load alone. I resumed my responsibilities and created routines for the children while Pierre remained detached, missing out on the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood. I embraced both parental roles but the growing gap between us made me question the promises we once shared and the strain of shouldering so much on my own.
