Just an hour before my sister-in-law’s wedding, I went into labor. Instead of helping, my mother-in-law took my phone and locked me in the bathroom, telling me to “hold off” so I wouldn’t steal the spotlight or ruin her daughter’s big day. Hours later, I woke up in the hospital — confused, exhausted… and furious.
My mother-in-law was already there, panicking and begging me not to press charges. But the real shock came when my husband walked in, looked her dead in the eye, and said something that made her go pale. The Woman in the Wings
My husband, Rick, and I were blessed with our daughter, May, two weeks ago.
This is our first child, and the joy is immeasurable. But even that joy cannot completely erase the paralyzing fear of the day she was born. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life, and I believe I would have died if not for my husband’s timely help.
The story involves family, so my judgment is clouded. Rick has two younger sisters, Anna (28) and Emma (24). I have a wonderful relationship with both of them.
