Ruth settles into life at Tina’s home and tells Tina about her past. When Ruth was a young girl, she began a sexual relationship with her close friend Rebecca. Ruth’s father caught them together one day and was furious. Her parents sent her away to undergo psychiatric treatment. Because of this context, her parents and psychiatrist subsequently encouraged the relationship between Ruth and CJ (her ex-husband), even though he was a married man and Ruth was an underage girl. Ruth went along with the marriage even though she never liked CJ.
