My husband Jack, who travels for work, kicked me out of our home while I was pregnant after accusing me of infidelity. Jack saw a photo of me hugging an old friend, Tom, and mistook it for cheating. Despite my pleas, he refused to listen. Jack’s aunt, who sent the photo, added to the chaos by accusing me of being a gold-digger.
Jack threw me out that night. I called my brother Ben, who came to my rescue. Over the next few months, Jack ignored me and missed the birth of our son, demanding a paternity test only after showing up at the hospital. The test confirmed the baby was his, but Jack’s regret came too late.
To clear my name, I collected evidence with Tom’s help and pursued a defamation case. I also left a letter for Jack, explaining my departure and how he had betrayed me. After Jack’s pleas for forgiveness, I divorced him, secured spousal and child support, and even tipped off the IRS about his financial practices. Jack lost his family, reputation, and much of his wealth. Meanwhile, I focused on my baby and a new life.
