Interesting to see things from Toby's point of view.

I like your idea of Eileen being "the baddie" in the relationship instead of Tobias. Very refreshing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

That's an excellent piece, and I'm hard pressed to find words of praise not already in another review.

In addition to all that's been said I like the perspective, how Toby passes through his marriage, from hope via resignation to spite.

He'd wish to love this child, but she'd not let him, what could be more frustrating and destructive?
