As a wildfire closed in on our town, my husband drove away in the only car we had that still worked. He rescued his female coworker and the little boy who secretly called him "Dad," leaving me and our daughter behind as she struggled through an asthma attack in the choking smoke. He assumed that because I was an ER nurse, I could handle it. That I would forgive him, just like I always had. Then I discovered he had known the wildfire was coming forty-seven minutes before the townwide alarm went off. He had time to save our daughter and me. He simply never thought to warn us. That was when I finally decided to walk away from the husband who had abandoned us when our lives were on the line.
