In today’s story, OP, a mother who recently gave birth, faced an unexpected demand from her husband for a paternity test before their daughter’s birth, triggering a heated argument. The tension escalated, and OP sought refuge at her brother’s house shortly before going into labor. When OP went into labor, she made numerous calls to her husband, but he didn’t answer. OP’s brother, rushing to help, had her sign for a hysterectomy due to complications during childbirth, which almost cost OP her life.
