When I arrived to bring home my wife and our newborn twins, I found Suzie gone, leaving behind a note that read: “Goodbye. Take care of them. Ask your mother WHY she did this to me.” Stunned, I uncovered the truth: my mother had sent Suzie cruel letters, accusing her of “trapping” me with the pregnancy and deeming her “not good enough.” Struggling with postpartum depression and hurt by my mother’s viciousness, Suzie felt she had no other choice but to leave. A year later, she returned, offering an apology and sharing how therapy had helped her heal. Together, we set out to rebuild our family, committed to overcoming the pain and rediscovering love.
