Part 2/9:
The year was 1989 when a courageous Josey decided she had finally had enough of the physical abuse her husband inflicted on her. Alongside her children, Sammy and Karen, she fled to Northern Minnesota to seek refuge with her parents, Hank and Alice. However, the reception was far from warm. Her father's reaction was painful; he accused her of infidelity rather than sympathizing with her plight. This reaction reflected the deep-seated shame he felt over Josey's past, shaped by the stigma surrounding her teenage pregnancy.
