Marcus thought his divorce from Izzy was the right decision, especially after meeting Jenna, who brought excitement back into his life. After 20 years of marriage and two kids, he impulsively filed for divorce, convinced it was the right choice. Jenna made him feel younger, and their relationship moved quickly.
When Maya’s 15th birthday arrived, Marcus introduced Jenna to his family, despite the awkwardness of the situation. Things quickly went south when Izzy’s mother slapped Jenna across the face, revealing that Jenna had bullied Izzy in high school and tried to ruin her future in college. Shocked, Marcus confronted Jenna, who admitted it was true but insisted she had changed.
The revelation shattered Marcus, especially when his kids, Caleb and Maya, were furious with him. He realized too late that his impulsive actions had hurt his family deeply. After seeking therapy, Marcus worked to rebuild his relationship with his kids, begging for Izzy’s help. She agreed, and now he hopes to make things right with his children.
