well, I guess the story of the strip is she is in a situation where she CAN’T leave, so in order to ‘rebuild her life’ she has to just grit her teeth and keep doing the laps–which better be pretty short laps with that load on!
Sometimes you can’t leave, because staying is more beneficial. Staying there gets her healthy. Staying with her folks gets her and her daughters a roof over their heads, clothes to wear, food to eat, etc.
Staying there allows her to endure more self punishment probably because she left too early the first time just to get out, got married, had kids, and now finds herself in a position her mother first warned her about.

I can’t believe she’s staying for this. Why hasn’t she left yet?
