I never thought something like this could happen to me. My husband and I were eagerly waiting for a child. So I was in the hospital and they told me I was having a baby in 7.5 months.
I returned home excited and happy. When I returned into the house, no one greeted me. My hubby, his dad and his mom were sitting in the kitchen talking about something. His father said, “When are you going to finish with her?”
I walked in and they seemed engrossed in their conversation. To brighten their mood, I said, “I’m pregnant!” Congratulations!” But there was no joy on their faces. My husband’s parents got up and left, asking their son to think about what I didn’t understand at the time.
And so, when I gave birth, my husband came with his parents to pick me up from the maternity ward. The first thing my father-in-law said was, “You’re going to take maternity leave, right?” That’s good… You’ll give it to me.”
I felt hurt when I heard those words. I got in the car and discussions about my maternity leave continued, but my husband told me, “Just give it to him, it won’t satisfy him anyway.” Do you see that.”
My father-in-law overheard and said, “You shouldn’t resist. We already have a new bride in mind for our son. And as for maternity leave, I will repair our car; At least there will be something left for your son.”
“This is my money and my child’s. I don’t owe him anything. Your car is none of my business. If you want to repair it, do it at your own expense. Forget my maternity leave.
I will no longer communicate with them. I have had enough of subjecting myself to such disgusting behavior towards myself and my child in my own home. I worked so as not to give my hard-earned money to some incomprehensible man.
He is looking for a new bride for my husband during my pregnancy. And they don’t seem particularly interested in their grandson,” I replied.
The situation was undoubtedly challenging and your determination to protect your rights and those of your child is commendable. In such circumstances, it is crucial to assert your independence and ensure the well-being of you and your child.
