After giving birth to twin daughters, I hoped my husband, Derek, would finally choose us over his controlling mother, Lorraine. But when I returned home from the hospital, Derek wasn’t there. He’d left a note: “Get out of here with your little moochers! I know everything.”
Turns out, Lorraine had faked an illness to get Derek away, locked me out, and wrote the cruel note because she wanted boys, not girls. I confronted Derek, and he was furious. He kicked Lorraine out and apologized, promising to make things right.We rebuilt our life, stronger than before, with Derek finally choosing us over his toxic mother.
