Anna and her husband had a seemingly perfect marriage for over 10 years, but things took a dark turn before their daughter’s birth. Out of nowhere, her husband suggested a paternity test, causing Anna immense stress. “I asked him if he suspected me of infidelity, and he said he ‘just wanted to be sure.’”

The tension escalated, leading Anna to move in with her brother. Despite her attempts to reconcile, her husband refused to talk. While collecting her things at home, Anna went into labor, and her calls to her husband went unanswered. “I called him 30 times… It was awful. I hated every moment of it.” She endured a traumatic birth in the back of her brother’s van, resulting in an emergency hysterectomy.

Anna’s brother, furious at her husband’s neglect, told him she didn’t survive the birth. When her husband rushed to the hospital, he was removed by security. “My entire family believes it was incredibly cruel, but we all agree he deserved it.”

In the aftermath, Anna and her husband tried counseling, but the damage was severe. “I needed you. You weren’t there. You chose your doubts over your family.” Her brother’s anger towards her husband added to the strain, creating a tense atmosphere at family gatherings.

Anna’s husband has since tried to earn back her trust, becoming more involved with their daughter. “It’s been a long journey, and we’re still not fully there yet, but I’m hopeful,” Anna shared.
