Первый вариант пересказа:

In this letter a young woman writes about her relationship with her husband. They’ve been married for 17 months and have a 23-month-old son. She thinks that her husband doesn’t love her or their child. On their honeymoon he told that if she ever divorced him he would do everything to get custody of their boy. Her mother-in-law also said that she would confirm that she was an unfit mother.

Her husband, Derek, hasn’t worked for a year and doesn’t want to support his family financially. He also deprecates her all the time.

She loves her son very much and she’s sure that he wouldn’t be better off with his daddy because the boy doesn’t even let his daddy hold him.

She would like to leave him and live alone with her son. However, she doesn’t know if she has a good chance of getting custody, because she is on disability. She is confused and not sure which is better – to stick it out with her husband or to leave him and be independent. She is scared about losing her precious son.

She can’t make a decision and asks for advice from the consultant.

Второй вариант пересказа:

A 22-year-old woman writes to dear Abbey for help. She has been married to her husband for 17 months and has a 23-month-old son. Her husband hasn’t worked for over a year and refuses to help the family out financially. He also is constantly putting her down. She is very unhappy in this marriage but she is not sure what she should do. Her husband threatens to get custody of her child if she would try to divorce him. Her mother-in-law also said that she would testify that she is not a fit mother for her son. Her son means everything to her. She doesn’t feel that her son would benefit from living with her husband. Her son does not respond well to him. However, this young woman is on disability and she’s afraid that she may not get custody of her son if she leaves. She feels certain that her husband doesn’t love her or her son. But she doesn’t know what to do: should she just endure living with her husband or should she take the chance that she may lose custody of her child.
