Rob wanted to participate in the series because he has a lot to say about Saskia's character.
Rob's wife, Colleen, saw that same spark in her.
Colleen was also a social worker with CPS.
She remembers the first time she met Saskia at a team training during an icebreaker.
Colleen can still picture Saskia's smile that day.
Saskia has always been someone who brings light to dark situations.
But at home, she struggled.
The love and care she so easily gave to other people, she wasn't getting from her first husband, Chris.
When that marriage began to fall apart, she turned to Rob and Colleen.
I did drink a lot because I felt so lonely.
I felt neglected.
Saskia told us there were nights during that marriage where she'd take it too far, black out.
From her sister Marisa's perspective, Chris wasn't helping.
In her first marriage, they partied too much.
There was a lot of drinking and kind of over-the-top behavior.
When Saskia finally ended things with Chris, it felt like a new beginning.
I was confident in knowing that that was the right thing to do.

And that felt like a relief.
