New mom kicked out by her mother 5 days after giving birth to firstborn via C-section, leaving her, her father, and her brothers shocked by grandma’s rapid change of heart: ‘ I should have know better but I was so vulnerable I believed her’

In the elastic ticking of the universe, five days isn’t much, unless, of course, you’re five days out …

This new mom was already under duress while giving birth to her first baby, but unfortunately for her, she had an overbearing (borderline tyrannical) mother-in-law to exasperate her fears and commandeer the delivery room. Giving birth is insane. I don’t have any children of my own, but just the idea of creating a human person …

Mother-in-law calls her son 73 times during his wife’s C-section because she wanted him to leave the hospital and go to her because she’s sick: ‘I told her it’s not my fault she married and had kids with a deadbeat and to leave us alone’
I hate it when people don’t take care of themselves when they fully could if they wanted to. If you’re an adult and you get mildly sick, you can figure out how to get to the doctor and take care of your needs without someone tending to you at all times. There are some exceptions …

Giving birth is never a walk in the park. Whether you have a natural birth or a C-section, your insides are going to exit your body, and that’s frightening.
