EPISODE 38 - On Our Own

Irene and her two boys, Matthew and Lucas, live in a small, modest suburban home her ex-husband bought 18 years ago. Often Irene wanted to renovate it and make it more attractive. But each time her husband Paul would tell her to hold off as they planned to eventually move to a bigger and better home. But the move never happened. Instead, Irene’s husband left his family last year and moved in with another woman and her kids in a nice home nearby. Irene was devastated and so were Matthew and Lucas. She loves her boys and regrets the fact that the house offers no place where they can hang out with their friends. Although both boys are often invited to sleepovers, they have no space where they can host their own get-togethers. Matthew and Lucas often clash over the use of space and the small home doesn’t offer a retreat from the anger and tension they’ve experienced over the past year.
