“He [my ex-husband] was a good father to his children. But I got to a place where I wanted more. And I would always travel back and forth. But I knew at a point that if I really want this, it came with a sacrifice.

It wasn’t a sacrifice of marriage, but then he being there [USA] and the distance didn’t help.”
