Emily faces a difficult situation after discovering she is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend’s child, as his current girlfriend becomes increasingly overbearing and controlling during the pregnancy.
She Was Pregnant
After dating Joe for three months, 29-year-old Emily found out that she was pregnant with his child just after he left her to go back to his ex-girlfriend, Kim. While Joe was thrilled to hear the news, Emily and Joe both agreed that getting back together was not an option. As Emily progressed in her pregnancy, Kim became increasingly overbearing and controlling. She insisted on being involved in Emily’s pregnancy, telling her what to do and how to do it. She even went so far as to demand that Emily have a home birth and formula-feed the babies so that they could have them for half of the week.
She Shut Her Down
Emily shut down Kim’s demands, telling her that she would make the best choices for her children and her body. However, Kim continued to text Emily every day, criticizing her eating and exercise habits and complaining about her job not allowing her to take maternity leave. At the virtual genetics counseling appointment, Kim took over the whole meeting, trying to talk about her family history, which wasn’t relevant. Emily was frustrated and upset by Kim’s behavior, but it was nothing compared to what happened next.
She Refused
When it came time for Emily’s 20-week level 2 scan, Joe suggested that she take Kim instead of him. Emily refused, but Joe still found out the gender of the babies, which Emily had wanted to keep a surprise for a gender reveal party. Emily put a pregnancy announcement on her social media, and Kim followed suit, announcing that they were expecting twins “the non-traditional way” and how blessed she was.
She Was Disgruntled
Emily was irritated but kept her mouth shut. However, when Kim threw a gender reveal party and posted it on social media, Emily wasn’t even invited. She commented on Kim’s posts, telling her to stop treating her like a surrogate and that the kids weren’t hers. Emily then called Joe and reiterated her position, stating that she would not be seeing either of them until they went to family court.
They Spread Rumors
However, Joe and Kim didn’t take Emily’s words well. They began spreading rumors about her and even went so far as to suggest that Emily give one of her babies to Kim. Emily was shocked and hurt by their behavior and decided to cut off all contact with them.
They Harassed Her
As Emily’s due date approached, she made the decision to have her mother as her birthing partner. She didn’t want Joe or Kim anywhere near her or her babies. However, even after the babies were born, Joe and Kim continued to harass Emily with messages and calls, demanding to see their children. Emily was adamant about not letting them near her babies until they went to court and sorted out custody arrangements.
Things Escalated
Joe and Kim’s behavior escalated, and they even involved their friends and family in the dispute. Kim’s mother even called Emily and insisted that she give one of her babies to Kim, which only made things worse. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, Emily sought legal advice and filed for custody of her children. She knew that it wouldn’t be an easy battle, but she was determined to do whatever it took to protect her children.
She Went to Court
In court, Emily presented her case, stating that Joe and Kim had no legal claim or custody of the children until they were born. She also brought up their behavior during her pregnancy, including their demands and harassment. Joe and Kim, on the other hand, argued that they had a right to see their children and be involved in their lives. They even went so far as to accuse Emily of trying to keep them away from their children out of spite. After a lengthy legal battle, the judge ruled in Emily’s favor, granting her full custody of her children. Joe and Kim were allowed visitation rights, but only under strict supervision.
She Was Relieved
Emily was relieved and grateful that the court saw things her way. She knew that it wouldn’t be easy co-parenting with Joe and Kim, but she was determined to put her children’s needs first.
Straight to the Internet
In the end, Emily learned a valuable lesson about standing up for herself and her children. She knew that she had to be strong and assertive in order to protect her family, and she was willing to do whatever it took to ensure their safety and well-being. She also decided to write her story of events onto a popular internet forum for their opinions on what she had faced and see what they had to say.
The Internet Responds
One person writes, “Sometimes I read stories like this, and it makes me realize I’m not nearly as patient and lenient as I think I am because if this happened to me, I would have lost it almost immediately. This lady is severely overstepping, and I can guarantee she is going to cause problems literally forever. I feel bad for the twins because they’re going to be frequently confused and I can already foresee their father and stepmom manipulating them for her benefit. You ought to be talking to a lawyer as this is literally insane.”
A Further Response
Another person comments, “In all honesty, I wouldn’t even allow the loser to put his name on the birth certificate. I’ve seen the opposite where the baby wasn’t even his, and he knew it wasn’t, and had his name put on the certificate and is now screwed. He pays for child care for a child who hates him and refuses to see him because he isn’t her real father. Don’t allow an inch for this guy or he’ll take the whole mile.”
A Final Response
A third person puts, “Where the heck does she get off trying to be in charge of your body and pregnancy? Cut them off until the birth and figure the rest out afterwards. Oh! and congrats!”
