Instead, he’s an hour away, supporting a friend whose brother has been in an accident. You’re left alone, scared, and betrayed. This is the heart-wrenching tale of a woman who had to face the birth of her child alone, and the fallout that ensued.

A Mother’s Fury, a Father’s Regret, and a Friendship on the Rocks
In a tale that tugs at the heartstrings, a mother is left alone to give birth while her husband rushes to support a friend dealing with a family crisis. The aftermath is a whirlwind of emotions, accusations, and regrets. The husband, regretful and apologetic, is allowed limited access to his newborn daughter. Meanwhile, the wife, still seething with anger and betrayal, contemplates divorce. But the drama doesn’t end there.
