When a marriage looks normal but feels unsafe

Many Homes Look Stable on the Outside. Inside, Someone Is Slowly Disappearing. Grace is a 32-year-old married woman living in Portugal. She holds a master’s degree in Entrepreneurship, yet she is currently unemployed. On paper, her life looks promising, but in reality, she feels stuck, anxious, and emotionally alone.
