I won't live the life of resignation

A rebellious girl who was drug-addicted, promiscuous, and ran away from home was saved by an old man, or thought she was saved. After that, she quit smoking, stopped taking drugs, gave birth to a husband and a child, and lost herself in the life of a housewife for thirty years. She couldn't get out of the family shadow of her childhood, couldn't escape the guilt of her husband's ex-wife committing suicide, and filled the ideological gap between her dissatisfaction and her daughter. Until she ran into her husband's affair with her best friend, until she met the man who exposed the nature of her false life, she suddenly felt relieved. Therefore, she cried bitterly under the warm fingers of her lover. She resolutely gave up the life of her brain-dead husband. She responded to the love of her old friend, "I will not live the life of resignation." In short, she is free.

Is this a story of a midlife crisis? Or accuse the nature of marriage? Probably neither. It's just a woman who has fallen from perplexity, deceived herself, and is struggling to save herself.

I've been watching female-themed movies recently, and I have been educated in various ways, which is pretty good.
