Ex-wife

Feelings Toward: not great. The issues in their marriage started before they married because she lied about what she wanted and then manipulated him to get it. She would talk advantage of Adriel's caring nature to emotionally isolate him and control him. Adriel would have probably remained married without complaint in the emotionally abusive relationship but she decided that she no longer wanted to be a mother. Lia took Rochelle to a park in the next town over and left her there. She returned home and tried to pretend that nothing was wrong and that they never had a daughter. She refused to tell Adriel where their daughter was and Rochelle was eventually returned by the police.
History
Adriel was a poor student as a child and struggled with learning. His teachers always blamed him for his lack of progress and it made him hate school. When he was a sophomore in high school, he met his English teacher, Ms. Harris, who showed him what a teacher with some compassion and empathy could do for a student. It made Adriel want to become a Ms. Harris for all the youth, hence his career path.
He met Lia at a friend's wedding, she was 25 and he was 28. She was the photographer and they had great chemistry. They dated for two years before they got married, she was 27 and he was 30. Adriel made it very clear to Lia from early on in their relationship that he had no desire to have children. He enjoyed working with children, but his favorite part was that t his students were not ultimately his responsibility. Lia seemed on board with this and they got married with the understanding that they'd always use some form of protection.
At 31, Lia decided to stop her birth control without telling Adriel and sabotaged the condoms. She kept her pregnancy a secret until she was three months pregnant. Adriel was understandably upset, but Lia manipulated, guilted and blamed him. Once Rochelle was born, it didn't even matter. Adriel fell in love with that little girl so hard, that he forgave Lia. After Rochelle was born, she saw Adriel begin to stand up for himself for his daughter's sake and she didn't like her loss of control. When Rochelle was 5, Lia tried to abandon her at a park in the next town over.
When Rochelle was returned by the police, she was almost taken by Child Protective Services. This was the straw the broke Adriel. He moved into his parents house and took Rochelle with him. He fought for custody and filed for divorce, winning. Lia still would come by and visit - not required by the custody battle and it caused Adriel and Rochelle more distress. With the encouragement of his mother, he applied for the job in Cedar Beach and moved there.
