After years of infertility and a difficult pregnancy, I finally held my newborn twin daughters in my arms, overwhelmed with love and relief. I thought my husband Mark would share in the joy, but instead, he looked at them with disappointment. He wanted sons to carry on his family name — and made it clear he didn’t want daughters.
Mark’s reaction crushed me. He left the hospital and never came back, abandoning both me and our babies. As if that pain wasn’t enough, his mother called days later, blaming me and spreading cruel lies. Suddenly, I was not just a new mother, but a single one — facing judgment and heartbreak alone.
Despite everything, I chose to fight for a better life for my daughters. With help from close friends and legal support, I stayed strong, focused on giving them love and stability. I shared their milestones with pride and refused to let bitterness define our story.
When Mark eventually tried to return, I didn’t let him back in. My life had moved on — one built on resilience, love, and two little girls who gave me all the strength I needed.
