Rosie Batty started her relationship with Greg Anderson in 1992. The love quickly transformed into red flags that disturbed Rosie. Therefore, she broke off the relationship and stopped talking to him for 8 long years.

Their paths eventually met again and they rekindled their flying. This time, their relationship produced a precious miracle — a baby boy they named Luke Batty.

Luke’s birth was an intimidating time for Rosie because Greg wasn’t excited nor did she ever plan to have children.

She lost her mother at a young age and feared losing more individuals she cared about, but when Luke entered the world, the intimidation was slowly overpowered by a mother’s love. Although Greg chose to be absent at Luke’s birth, Rosie was given a lot of support by a handful of friends.

When Luke was an infant, Greg changed his mind about steering clear of fatherhood. He attempted to be in Luke’s life, as well as start a relationship with Rosie again, but his anger just couldn’t be contained.
