Five weeks after giving birth to our daughter Sarah, my husband, Alex, demanded a paternity test because she has blonde hair and blue eyes, unlike our brown-haired, brown-eyed selves. He moved out, leaving me to face his mother’s threats of a harsh divorce if Sarah wasn’t his.

The test confirmed he was the father, and Alex returned remorseful, begging for a second chance. Though hurt and humiliated, I agreed to try for Sarah’s sake.

But soon, I discovered messages on his phone revealing he was planning to leave me for a colleague. Heartbroken, I took screenshots, filed for divorce, and left with Sarah. Despite his denials, I had proof and won the house, car, and child support in the settlement.
