Despite the physical challenges, I pushed through recovery, and Ava helped me gather evidence for a divorce. When Jeff returned, I confronted him, and he tried to deny everything. But the truth was already out.On the day I left the hospital, Jeff found his things packed and an eviction notice on the doorstep.
