When I went to bring my wife Suzie and our newborn twins home, I found only a note: “Goodbye. Take care of them. Ask your mother WHY she did this to me.” Suzie had vanished, and I soon discovered my mother’s years of cruelty had driven her away.
Left to raise the twins alone, I searched endlessly for Suzie. A year later, she returned, explaining how postpartum depression and my mother’s words had overwhelmed her. Through love, therapy, and resilience, we began to heal and rebuild our family together.
