After the birth of my twins, I hoped my husband, Derek, would finally prioritize us over his mother. But when I was discharged from the hospital, he chose to stay with her instead of picking us up, claiming she was having chest pains.
As I arrived home with the girls, I found our belongings scattered on the lawn and a note from Derek saying to leave. Devastated, I called my mom for help, and the next morning, I confronted Derek’s mother, Lorraine. She admitted to faking the illness, locking me out, and manipulating Derek because she didn’t approve of my daughters.
Furious, I drove to the hospital to tell Derek, who confronted his mother and cut ties with her. As we left, he apologized, and I knew our family would be stronger than ever.
