They kicked her out of her church. We couldn't go to the market together without people gossiping so I had to stay home a lot. She couldn't go to the bar with her friends anymore because men assumed she would sleep with them. And if her husband ever wanted to divorce her, her having an illegitimate son means he wouldn't have had to go to a judge and have a hearing, he could just file the paperwork behind her back. Which he threatened to do, once or twice.

Sometimes, I can't help feeling like I ruined her life.
