My husband abandoned me on the roadside during childbirth to join his parents on a vacation. He laughed off my pleas, saying I could handle the hospital trip solo
Well, they brought it upon themselves, didn’t they? My husband’s actions and their consequences were all a result of choices he made. Furthermore, when one of my husband’s friends confronted him about the incident, he reportedly excused himself, saying, I had a prior travel commitment with my parents that day, so I had no choice. Because of this statement, not only my husband, but also his parents began to face criticism online.
The story spread even in the vicinity of my in-law’s home, and there seemed to be various topics related to my husband’s parents circulating on social media. Suddenly, my phone started ringing. When I checked the screen, it was a call from my mother-in-law.
That’s for my mother-in-law. My friend, eyeing the screen of my phone with interest, suggested, why don’t you pick up and give her a piece of your mind? However, I was so fed up that I felt no words to do so and decided to ignore it. Before I knew it, the missed calls log was filled with names of my husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.
Ever since the incident was highlighted on social media, even the hospital staff seemed to be aware of my situation and started offering genuine support. Whether my husband or in-laws came to the hospital or called multiple times, the hospital staff didn’t allow any contact with me. As my discharge date approached, I had one pressing worry, whether my husband and in-laws might be lurking outside the hospital.
My parents reassured me, saying, you have nothing to worry about. But the thought of my precious baby being in danger left me anxious. However, that concern was quickly dispelled on the day of my discharge as my parents were helping me with my belongings.
I heard my husband’s voice shouting, Lisa, followed by the loud voices of my in-laws. Suddenly, men in black suits surrounded me, forming a protective barrier. As I tried to understand what was happening, one of the men approached me, gently opening the car door and said, don’t worry, we’re here on Sir’s request to protect you.
It seemed my parents were already aware of this. As my mom said, smiling, didn’t I tell you there’s nothing to worry about? Believing her words, I felt relieved and smoothly got into the car. All the while, my husband and in-laws, overwhelmed by the presence of the bodyguards, couldn’t come any closer.
I can’t find the words to express how grateful I am for Sarah supporting me like this. The only thing occupying my mind was how to reciprocate Sarah’s kindness. My parents felt the same, saying in unison, we have to find a way to show our gratitude to Sarah.
Although my new life began smoothly and pleasant days continued, the contacts from my husband and in-laws never ceased. I mailed them the divorce papers, but there wasn’t even a hint of acceptance. One day, my in-laws called our home.
It seems my father answered, and they addressed him with the attitude of, she became a part of our family, so no matter how she’s treated, she shouldn’t complain. When my father angrily retorted to their statement, it seems they were taken aback and quickly hung up. While discussing how to handle this with my parents, I decided that seeking professional assistance was the best course of action and resolved to consult a lawyer.
Coincidentally, my father was acquainted with a lawyer, and when we explained our situation, he graciously promised to help. I informed the lawyer about the video circulating on social media and detailed past events. When the lawyer reached out on our behalf, my husband was initially taken aback.
However, over time, he became defiant. We’ll solve marital issues ourselves. We don’t need a lawyer, he argued in a fled tone.
However, the lawyer calmly responded, and acting upon Lisa’s request, any future communication should be directed to me. It’s up to Lisa, my client, to decide whether or not she wants to involve a lawyer. My husband was at a loss for words, though initially refusing to divorce…
