Bianca was excited to start a new chapter with her husband after finding out she was pregnant. The couple had always spoken about children and having been together for years, it felt like the right next step. But after giving birth, Bianca began to see a side to her husband that she had never, in the 6 years they'd been together, ever see.

A story of resilience and survival, Bianca shares how quickly families can change and how it is hard to ever fully know someone.
