=== Backstory ===
Brihanna was born in South Ireland to her parents Rhys Lyons and - Lyons on the 12th April, 1974. After her fathers death, her relationship with her mother soured and she moved to North Ireland. There, she'd meet a man on holiday called Kaymar Kane, whom she started to get acquainted with and the two fell in love. Eventually Kaymar moved to Ireland to be with her and in 1998, the two's first son Rhys was born. Other then her brief post-natal depression, the vast majority of his childhood went quite smoothly and in 2005, the three moved to England. Two years later, her younger son Rowan was born.
Brihanna was very removed from Rowan when he was born and would even make comments about wishing she hadn't had him, but no one thought much of it due to Rhys' birth causing the same thing, although admittedly less severe. After multiple years however, Brihanna's avoidance didn't waver like with Rhys, but instead drastically increased, which caused Kaymar to become suspicious and begin looking into it after she refused to talk about it.
Kaymar found out that the reason why she was so on edge was because she had repeatedly cheated on him during their relationship with a man called Aidyn Ríos, both before and after Rhys' birth and she feared that Rowan wasn't Kaymar's son and by proxy was also worrying about Rhys' father not being him either. This exposé caused a massive strain in the family for all 4 members, with Rhys and Rowan taking it the hardest. Brihanna's alcohol abuse worsened and Kaymar's derealisation became worse, causing Rhys to have to take care of Rowan most of the time, Rhys wanted to return to the family's prior happiness but was now questioning if that was even his family in the first place and Rowan was now developing problems due to having two parents that where actively avoiding him, with his mother being extremely physically and mentally abusive and his father being neglectful.
During this time, she was still seeing Aidyn and had even secretly had a child with him, disguising her trip to the hospital as a surgery to Kaymar and Rhys. They called their son Luca and she'd stay at his place a lot, even telling her side of the family that she had broke up with Kaymar years ago and that he didn't let her see Rhys to cover up her adultery, with them not even knowing Rowan existed.
On one occasion, just after Rowan's 10th birthday, Rhys had a massive hangover and told a hungry Rowan to go downstairs and make himself some toast and that he'd be down in a minute. Rowan did as he was told and went down to the kitchen to find Brihanna, cutting up some vegetables to have with her food. Rowan moved the stool so he could reach the bread and his mother asked him what he was doing. Rowan replied saying that Rhys told him to make some toast and this caused her to go on a lengthy rant about how ungrateful Rowan was for listening to Rhys and to remember that she was his parent, not Rhys. Rowan replied to this saying that Rhys was a better parent then her and that she was a useless mother. Brihanna then pointed the knife she was holding at him, asking him to repeat what he just said and Rowan, having undiagnosed autism at the time, didn't understand that she didn't want him to actually repeat it and repeated it. This angered her so much that she slashed Rowan's face with the knife, threatening to do more if he "talked back" to her again.
Rhys, hearing the commotion, came downstairs and looked at his mother and brother horrified. He tried to help Rowan but he was so shaken up that he refused to let Rhys touch him, scared he would also hurt him. This caused the two to get in a screaming match while Rowan desperately tried to stop the blood pouring out of his face. Brihanna kicked them out and went upstairs to bed, saying she wanted them gone by the time she woke up, leaving the two in a state of shock. 
When she woke up, they where indeed gone and had taken their stuff (and the cash in Brihanna's purse) with them. Kaymar came home and found out what happened and broke up with her, ordering a visa back to Jamaica and planning to temporarily stay with his father till he could get himself organised. In April 2017, Rhys legally moved out with his girlfriend Enya, taking Rowan with them and getting custody of him.
All of this would make her realise how bad things had gotten and she decided to get a new life. Although knowing about everything, Aidyn still loved her and helped her get her life on track. She moved in with him and the two lived happily together with their son. She got sober, started taking medication for her disorders and started going to therapy. The two raised Luca as perfectly as she could and he had a amazing relationship with her, as apposed to Rhys and Rowan.
