I had just been discharged from the hospital after giving birth to my twin girls, Ella and Sophie. My husband, Derek, was supposed to pick us up, But at the last minute, he called.
“Mom’s really unwell. I need to take her to the hospital. I can’t pick you up,” he said, sounding rushed.
Disappointed but trying to stay calm, I called a taxi.
When I got home, I froze. My suitcases and bags were dumped on the doorstep. I approached the door, calling, “Derek?” but there was no answer.
I tried my key—it didn’t work. The locks had been changed. My stomach dropped. That’s when I saw the NOTE taped to one of the bags.
After giving birth to twins, I expected my husband to prioritize us over his mother, but instead, he chose her again. This time, I exposed her for the manipulative liar she was.
When I was discharged from the hospital with my newborn twins, I was excited for my husband Derek to pick us up. But instead, I got a call saying he couldn’t come because his mother was suddenly “sick.” I had to take a taxi home, only to find my belongings scattered outside and a note from Derek telling me to leave.
Panicking, I called my mom for help and discovered that Derek’s mother, Lorraine, had faked her illness to manipulate Derek into locking me out of our house and taking her side. She even bribed a nurse to keep him away. Lorraine confessed that she didn’t approve of my daughters because they weren’t boys and had been trying to break up our family for years.
When I confronted Derek, he was shocked and furious. He confronted his mother, telling her she was no longer welcome in our lives. Lorraine left, and Derek apologized, vowing to make things right. Though it was difficult, our bond grew stronger, and Lorraine’s attempt to tear us apart only brought us closer together.
