Regina finally gave Lee a choice to own his problem and take responsibility for it, or to move out. She would no longer allow his drinking and anger to affect her and the children. She would take protective steps to “guard the good” and not let evil destroy it.
again, IT ISN’T ABOUT LETTING SOMETHING “AFFECT” YOU. you have little control over what consequences YOU suffer from SOMEONE ELSE’S behavior TOWARDS YOU. what Regina did was assert a healthy boundary and create real consequences for her husband’s unrepentant sins against her (and more importantly, her children).
