Giving birth is painful, but divine and wonderful. Witnessing a baby born and welcoming this angel into the world is great, and it wasn’t any different for a woman who goes at SweetBabyZ2020 on Reddit.Sadly, what was supposed to be the most precious moment of her life turned into a bitter and a rather challenging experience because of the skin of her newborn daughter’s color.
It turned out that the baby was darker than anyone assumed, given the fact that both her mom and dad were quite white.When the woman’s husband realized this, he was extremely angry. Without even talking to her, he was quick to share on his social media and inform everyone he knew that his wife was ch_eating on him. woman couldn’t believe what was happening. She attempted to assure him that the baby was his but she failed. This led him to threw her belongings out of the house, and that included everything they bought for their bundle of joy’s nursery.
“Jim refused to pick me up from the hospital, threw my stuff out on the lawn, and changed the locks, so I had to stay with my parents,” she recalled in her post on Reddit.
As a result, the woman had to live with her parents, still unable to pull herself together around the fact that she was accused of ch_eating.
A few weeks passed by, and Jim finally agreed on a DNA test. To his surprise, it showed 100% match between him and the baby. He then took it again, but the results were the same.

He begged and apologized over and over again, but the woman wasn’t ready to forgive him for not trusting her and treating her with such disrespect.
“I can’t un-hear or unsee all the horrible things that were said and done. Not just to me but to my child as well.”
The family suggested they go for couple’s therapy, but the woman didn’t feel like trying to fix things that were broken beyond repair
