A woman divorced with her abusive husband and she took her only child who is her 5 year old son with her and she met a woman who offered her and her son to stay away from her abusive husband.

Jenna was exhausted. Her eyes were heavy, her body weak, and her heart ached. She couldn't believe that she had actually gone through with it – she had left her husband, the father of her 5-year-old son, Mason.

For years, Jenna had been living in an abusive marriage. Her husband, Chris, was a controlling and manipulative man who constantly belittled her, both physically and emotionally. For the longest time, Jenna had convinced herself that he would change, that things would get better. But they never did.

Until one day, Chris went too far. He had hit Mason in a fit of rage, leaving a bruise on his tiny arm. That was the last straw. Jenna packed her and Mason's bags and left, determined to never look back.

But now, as she sat on a bench at the bus stop, her thoughts were consumed with worry. She had no plan, no place to go. She couldn't bear the thought of Mason growing up in a broken and toxic home.

Suddenly, a woman sat down next to her. She was tall and had a warm smile on her face.

'Are you okay?' she asked, noticing the worry lines etched on Jenna's face.

Jenna hesitated, not knowing whether or not to trust this stranger. But the woman's kind eyes and gentle demeanor melted her defenses.

'I just left my husband,' Jenna finally admitted.

The woman's expression turned sympathetic. 'I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?'

Jenna shook her head, her eyes filling with tears. 'I don't know where to go. I have no family or friends nearby.'

The woman nodded, understanding Jenna's dilemma. After a moment of thought, she offered, 'I have an extra room at my house. You and Mason are more than welcome to stay with me until you figure things out.'

Jenna couldn't believe her luck. She had always been wary of strangers, but something about this woman made her feel safe. Without hesitation, she accepted the offer.

The woman, whose name was Lily, drove Jenna and Mason to her house. Upon arriving, Jenna was taken aback by the beautiful and cozy home.

'Thank you so much for this,' Jenna said, grateful beyond words.

Lily smiled. 'No need to thank me. You and Mason deserve a safe and loving home.'

Jenna and Mason settled into their new home, and for the first time in a long time, Jenna felt truly happy. She watched Mason's face light up as he explored his new surroundings and made friends with Lily's pets.

As the days went by, Jenna and Lily became close friends. They talked about everything and anything, and Lily always listened with a non-judgmental ear. It was then that Jenna realized she had never had a friend like this before.

One day, as Jenna was sitting in the garden, Lily joined her, a serious expression on her face.

'I don't want to overstep, but I noticed some bruising on Mason's arm the other day,' Lily said, concern lacing her tone.

Jenna's heart sank, knowing that she couldn't hide the truth from her new friend. She told Lily everything about her abusive marriage, holding nothing back. Lily listened quietly, letting Jenna release all the pain and hurt that she had been bottling up for so long.

After Jenna finished, Lily squeezed her hand. 'I want you to know that you and Mason are safe here. If you ever need anything, just let me know.'

With tears in her eyes, Jenna hugged Lily tightly, feeling grateful for her kindness and understanding.

In that moment, Jenna knew that she had made the right decision in leaving her abusive husband. She had found a true friend who had opened her home and her heart to her and Mason. And for that, she would be forever grateful.
