Read The Runaway Woman Storyline:

Lucy lives a normal life in a normal street. Was she a fool or an angel
to want to run away? Lucy Lovejoy married her childhood sweetheart at
16, but since then she's lost a little more of herself with each passing
year. Those looking from the outside think she's like any other wife
and mother, but there is no warmth or love at the centre of Lucy's
family - her children have watched their father belittle her for years
and are, much to her sadness, following in his footsteps. With her 40th
birthday approaching, Lucy discovers that her good-for-nothing husband
is having an affair with her sister, a double-betrayal for Lucy, and it
shatters her. Sitting on a bench one day - she looks back at her life,
and feels like she's done nothing with it. So, mustering up all of her
courage she decides to leave her family and the home she's devoted so
many years to, she decides to go out into the world and start a new
life. What will Lucy discover?
