Mary wanted him to stop drinking and to find a job, so they got divorced. Mary was a weak depressed woman and she started vomiting everyday. She realized that she was going to have a baby so she fell in a worse depression that the first one because obviously, Tommy, the drinker, her ea-husband, was the baby's father. After a few months she knew that she had to tell Tommy that he was the father of his son. Tommy was very surprised because this wasn't in his plans. He didn't want to have a son with Mary so he went to Brazil to live and he found a new girlfriend. This meant that Mary was going to have to take care of her sown on her own.
