He is always working late. Never around for all the needing, never helps take care of the baby. That's her place. She is ugly. She is stupid. That's her place .He sleeps with someone else. She finally looks up to see she is drowning. Slowly sinking to the bottom, watching the light at the surface grow dim. More and more of her was being pushed deeper and deeper down until she became a shell of a person. Going through the motions. She was right where he wanted her: Beneath
