During the blizzard, my husband took our only four-wheel-drive SUV to rescue another woman's son while our asthmatic daughter waited at a freezing school. When I brought her home wearing a hospital wristband, her wet nebulizer sat beside that boy as he slept in her bed. It wasn't the first time: whenever that woman called, my husband expected me to handle whatever happened to our family alone. This time, I didn't argue or wait for another promise; I packed my daughter's medicine and walked out. He thought the storm had left me with nowhere to go, but he never asked what it had finally shown me.
