I hope you enjoy this story. Luna claimed that my unplanned caesarian delivery could have been prevented if I had been more physically active. When I declined to allow her to visit my newborn, my spouse supported his relatives, prompting me to depart, with my baby and filed for a protection order. I, 28F, had my son Kyson four months ago. At 22 weeks I was diagnosed with partial placenta previa and we were hoping and praying it would resolve, but at 28 weeks I was told I have complete placenta previa. This news hurt because I had a

birth plan but my doctor still closely monitored it even though he made it clear that there might be less chance of resolving it and might have a C-section. At 35 weeks I had heavy bleeding so I delivered my beautiful baby boy through an emergency C-section. My son was in the knee-cube for two weeks before we got to go home. Two weeks ago there was a family party at my mill's house. I was sitting in the ladies when K.Y started crying. So I breastfed him while chatting nobody had a problem with that them after that I handed him to my sill since she wanted to play with him. While he was holding him, she said something. So they started talking about my sill's labor and she said it was a breeze.

Then I said, ah, that's nice, I hope to have a natural with my second some day. Then she said a natural birth needs preparation during the whole pregnancy. Then she went on to say you never worked out or got active much. So I told her it was because of the placenta previous situation. This woman literally said that's not an excuse though. I had riled ligament pain and I still managed to keep active. I told her I was kept on bed rest half my pregnancy and had too many hospital visits so I didn't want to do anything to risk putting myself in danger.

Then she said your body can feels the nerves and it reads accordingly, you should have relaxed and let nature take its course. That's how natural births work, the C-section was avoidable. I told her to F herself and took my baby out her arms and went to my hubby. We left after. Apparently she told anyone who asked where I got sensitive and left the party. After a few days she asked to see Kyson and I said I'm not comfortable being around her at the moment. She accused me of weaponizing my son and using him to hurt her.

note, whole pregnancy she kept on giving unsolicited advice on how to fix the placenta previa and I feel like she thinks if I had listened to her I would have had Kyson naturally. I felt sad for a few weeks after birth because my birth plan didn't go how I wanted it to. These feelings just feel like they resurfaced TBH. I thought I was okay. Ada for grabbing him and not agreeing to visit her. Update 1, June 10, 2025. I made my post hours ago and I am so overwhelmed at the amount of support and kindness I have

gotten from everyone in the comments. So when I told my husband about what he did, I didn't like his reaction. I told him exactly what happens and he said I don't want to interfere in women arguments, babe. I then told him that he can at least ask his sister to be sensitive about my experience and he said, why don't you talk to my mom about it so she sits you two down and have a mature discussion. My husband knows Sill is the apple of my mill's eye so she would side with her. There has never been a need for my mill to pick sides, but if there ever was we all know who he would. I told him that I would feel more comfortable if he is there. But he said it's a

birth thing so women should discuss it. I mentioned in a comment on the original post that my hubby suggested therapy. He feels like the only reason I was offended by Sill is because I have not gotten over the fact that I had an emergency C-section. I mean he is right, but I just really want him to talk to his sister is that so wrong. I want his support and for him to make things clear to her. If you are wondering whether I have support system like family then no I don't. My parents are in a different country and I live in my husband's home country. I do have a few friends. That is why I appreciate all your kind comments. They mean a lot to me really. Update 2, June 14, 2025. Hey everyone, first off I would like to thank you all for the support I got on my two other

posts. The love and support you gave me was more than appreciated and it had me the courage to do what I did today. I saw some comments saying I named my son a tragedy, my husband, and I agreed that I would pick the first name and he would pick the middle name so we both get to name him. If you don't like the name, then I don't know how to help you with that. Besides, I did not want his first name on the post, so I used his other name Kyson. I now realized that I could have just used a fake name. Today a lot happened, I talked to my Sill and Mill and I also talked to my husband. It went terrible, actually, that is an understatement to what happened today.

My talk with Sill and Mill took place at my Mill's house at around 10 a.m. I got there and they were already there. I expected my hubby to have gone with me, but he didn't. My sill got to the point and asked me why I was so upset at her. I reminded her all that she said to me and she said was I wrong though, you were just offended that I spoke the truth. I remembered all the advice I got from your comments and I told her what I had learned about placenta Privia and her misinformation.

I also told her about the difference between round ligament pain and placenta privia and what I went through. She rolled her eyes and said that's what doctors want to do so they make money off of C-sections. My mill the whole time sat there defending her and saying I shouldn't take it to heart while Sill still stood on all she said. Sill called me incompetent and sensitive so I said some colorful words and was walking out, BTW I was baby wearing. She grabbed my arm and pulled me telling me she isn't done talking and that I am walking away with her nephew.

I told her to let me go or I'll get her arrested for handling me in that manner so she let go. I told them when they are ready to behave like adults then they will see Kysen. I was so scared of standing up for myself, but I did it, my hands were shaking, L-O-L. I got home and Hubby wasn't there so I got K-Y to take a nap and called my dad. I spilled everything to him and he was furious. He told me to either move out or fly back home. I told him I have to talk to Hubby first and I will tell them how things go. When Hubby got home later in the afternoon I was breastfeeding. He came into the living room and asked how the meeting went. I could tell he had a sour mood. I told him it went bad and he told me, oh, I know. He told me that his mother is

so hurt by my disrespect. I told him how they behaved and he told me that I am trying to say his mother is a liar. So basically his mom called and told him I was screaming and shouting at them. She told him I was hysterical and even rattled K.Y. up. Sill backed Millup so it was like a tag team. I explained what actually happened and he said all this drama wouldn't be happening if I didn't overreact to a few comments made at the party. I was shocked. I told him I thought he was supposed to defend me and he said he can't ruin the relationship with his family because of my insecurities. I told him that I will leave with my son and go to people who actually care about me and that my dad will book my flight. I walked away with Kyson and he grabbed

my arm and said his son goes nowhere. He told me he was tired of my continuous complaints about his family. He said if I was still hurt by those comments then maybe I'm the problem and need to look into fixing it. He brought up a few memories I don't want to mention but just past experiences with his family. At this point it was getting loud and K.Y was crying, so I told Hubby to relax. He didn't, let just say the living room wall understood he was angry.

So I told him I want to go somewhere I feel safe. I left with K.Y and we are currently in a hotel. I want to move to another city and start life fresh there. I can request for a transfer. My husband expresses himself audibly when angry so what happened after that was so unusual and a shock. He has called me asking me to come home and that he was just frustrated. He know this account and he know about the posts, so he saw the comments that I got. He sent a message about how I let strangers love the Internet get into my head and convince me against my family.

He said he felt torn between supporting his sister and supporting me and I can't blame him for not knowing which side to take. I told him I don't want K.Y. to grow up in such an environment and stopped replying. I don't know if I was dramatic or I did too much. I still don't understand why he got so angry and why he reacted that way. I also want to know why his mom and sister lied to him. I don't know there's a lot of uncertainty right now, but K.Y. and I are safe. I will talk to a lawyer about the next steps to take. I feel at peace. I have gone through so much in my five years of marriage. I now want to raise my son in a healthy environment. Thank you for all the support really.

Comment from Oop's husband, Oop's husband, downvoted. I'm sick of this, every account make is deleted and it's because nobody want to hear my side. Redacted, I hope you are happy breaking your own family up cause of these strangers. You clearly enjoy strangers on the internet call me vile words. Please unblock me, I still deserve to see my son. Oop, don't say my name on a public app. I am happy because I am safe. Stop posting stories trying to get attention.

You were barely there when I was carrying Kise and now you want to see him. If I was to list everything you have done to me and you had allowed your sister to do, Reddit wouldn't allow that. Just remind your sister that I have a burn mark. I stayed through all this. Please stop embarrassing yourself. Update 3, June 15, 2020. Hi everyone, I want to thank you for the support I received on my last post. It really meant a lot to me. I did not reply to all your comments but I saw most of them and I appreciate all the advice I got.

This is as my last update for a few months. I will final update maybe around December or November. Happy, belated, Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there, biological or not, kids or not, you are all amazing. So the police took my statement and I showed them the bruising, they opened a file for my case. They talked to my husband and Sill advising them to keep their distance. I want to apply for a protection order so they don't come near Kise and an I. My Sill, hubby and Mill have not contacted me since their talk with the cops. As for our marriage, it's definitely over. Since I am a foreigner I can't just pack and leave especially since we have a child together. I would need his father's consent to leave the country and we all

know he will not give permission for that. I talk to a lawyer about my options and the laws around DV, travel, and custody. Legal action is going to take time. The protection order could take a few weeks. Since I want to leave and take away his parental rights, I have to prove DV and that he is unfit and can potentially hurt Kise. Kice also needs a passport. The whole legal process will take time, months if we are speaking. If my husband does contest anything, then it will take even longer. I was told it could six months or more to fully sort out the custody and permission to leave the country with Baby Kentucky. It's not going to be fast, but I'm willing to have the patience for this if it means safety for my son and I good news as my parents and brothers are flying over,

they will arrive end of this week. So yeah, yesterday that was all I did, met the police and a lawyer, also moved to live with a friend of mine and her husband. My dad and brothers said they want to talk to my husband, soon to be X, about men's stuff. I don't think that's a good idea, L.O.L. The stress and everything of this has made my milk supply drop significantly. In my first post I mentioned in the comments that it is low, but it has gotten worse. I really want to be able to fully feed my baby and I try so hard to be hydrated and eat well. I need sleep. Kai has also been very fussy. This update might be all over the place, but I made progress.

Hopefully in a few months' time I will be giving a great update from my parents' house. I didn't do a lot, but there's so much to do, but it's one step at a time. I might not respond to all your comments, but I promise I see your advice and appreciate it. Thank you for all the support. Next story, College X stalked me for years until my friend scared him away, but when my friend passed away my stalker came back and my husband told me I was overreacting until we found a GPS tracker hidden under my car. So I, 32F, and my husband, 33M, have been arguing a lot recently over my old stalker. For some background back in college, I was 24, I dated a guy,

let's call him Fred, for around two months. Fred was interesting to say the least, to save time he had several red flags once we started dating, so I dumped him. Fred acted like he couldn't care less, so I thought that was that. Few months go by and I'm starting to see Fred everywhere. I see him at the grocery store I go to, my go-to-nail place, my favorite restaurants, etc. I thought it was just a weird coincidence so I left it at that. A year after our breakup, he starts messaging me, telling me he was the happiest with me and that he misses me so much. I called BS and blocked him. Then things escalated, Fred changed numbers every time I blocked him, made new social media accounts, and I started seeing his car everywhere.

I tried getting a restraining order against Fred, but since he hadn't done anything to me, they couldn't do anything. A few months later I was walking to my car at night, Fred coincidentally saw me walking alone and offered me a ride home. I said no, that I had my own car and kept walking. Fred proceeded to get out of his car and tried pushing me to his car. I punched him and ran to my car. I drove away and luckily he didn't follow.

I tried again to get a restraining order but it was basically his word against mine. They gave me a temporary restraining order but that's it. I was terrified of even walking outside and deleted all my socials. Thankfully a very close friend, let's call him Pete, stepped in to defend me. Pete ended up threatening Fred and I finally stopped hearing from Fred. I felt free and slowly got back into my normal life. Now to present day, I'm now married to my husband. I've graduated from college and live alone with my husband.

We moved to a nearby city and bought a house together. Sadly a month ago Pete died during his sleep and I was absolutely devastated. I've known Pete since I was in high school and he was my closest friend. To be honest I'm still not over his death and sometimes I can't believe he's gone. But guess who heard about his death? That's right folks Fred found out and is now back. I received texts from Fred a few days after Pete died. I now see him everywhere and he's insisting we talk. I just walk away and ignore him. I've reported him but nothing has happened so I deleted my socials again. Friends have been

telling me Fred has been asking around about me. He's asked if I moved, what am I doing lately, if I have other social media accounts, etc. I'm honestly terrified. I've moved since I finished college but somehow I see him at my gym, grocery store, park, etc. It honestly makes me believe he never stopped watching me and it's terrifying. I've told my husband about everything and he says I'm overreacting or just plain ignores my concerns and changes the subject. I've argued that he doesn't care and he argues back asking what do I expect him to do. He says that Fred doesn't know where we live and that will just change gyms. My husband is telling me to just change my regular routine and stop going to certain places. He says it's no big deal and Fred is harmless. I'm like Fred

tried to force me into his car. How is that harmless? My husband has been distant ever since this started and I feel alone. I don't want to tell my friends in fear they will tell Fred. I can't go to my family because I'm in no contact with them. And of course my husband couldn't care less. I need advice, what do I do? Am I crazy? Should I just change my gym and my routine like how my husband says? Part of me just wants to move completely but another part is basically asking myself

why do I have to uproot my life and change everything because of him? Can't he just leave me alone? It's been like 10 years already and I want to move on from this. Should I just talk to Fred hoping he'll finally leave me alone? Update 1, May 23, 2025. Some more information about my stalker situation. My friends don't talk to Fred and they are aware of the situation. Fred has reached out to them randomly asking about me.

They have reported and blocked him as well. Now for the update, last night I decided to have a serious conversation with my husband one last time. I sat down with him and explained the whole situation again. Told him how scared I've been and that he needs to take this seriously. I wanted to show him how terrified I was. How small I'd been made to feel not just by Fred but also him. How his lack of support slash concern for my own safety is making me question our marriage. I asked if he'd even do anything if I was found in a ditch. He was silent the whole time while looking at the floor. We sat in silence for a few minutes before I got up to pack my things.

My husband proceeded to cry. He apologized and said he'd make this right. He said he didn't want to overreact in fear of scaring me more. But when in reality it made me feel alone. My husband has been looking into Fred, without my knowledge, and has found out where he works, lives, and even Fred's family contact information. He wanted to gather more information about Fred before contacting a lawyer. We're both taking a few days off of work to get our ducks in a row. We're getting a lawyer and gathering evidence of Fred's harassment.

We're also currently looking for a therapist, for we can both talk about this whole situation and other issues we have in our marriage. I also have some voicemails Fred has left me and I officially think he's lost it. I have an Apple iPhone and you're able to see voicemails from blocked numbers. Some of the messages are of him saying straight up gibberish while others or as if he's having a conversation with me. He says things like, oh yeah, babe, I get off work late, so tonight is a no-go or I'm off so you can come pick it up right now. No. Yeah. I don't know. I can't do this anymore. There's a lot of fashion in my life. It sounds like he's having a conversation, but it's no one else just him and it's terrifying.

My husband does feel bad and is trying his best to console me. He has apologized repeatedly for making me feel lonely and has been more supportive, Open. Currently he's looking through my car to check if there's anything that might be giving my location to Fred. I'll keep you all updated if we find anything or if anything else happens. Thank you all for your advice and support. Update 2, June 6th, 2025. Wasn't sure if I should make an update but decided to anyways to maybe get some more advice. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and encouragement. I finished listening to the book The Gift of Fear and it really opened my eyes to a lot. Now on to the update, after my husband didn't find anything in my car,

I still felt something wrong so I took people's advice and took my car to the mechanic. Told my mechanic about my situation and if he could take a look at my car. And to my horror, a couple days later, my mechanic found a small little cube that was placed hidden under my car. At first I really wanted to believe it was just part of my car or something. But my mechanic explained that it wasn't and it was deliberately hidden. The cube is really small and magnetic. I called my lawyer right then and told them everything. I got pictures of the GPS and where it was placed. I thanked the mechanic and drove to my lawyer's office. At this point I was shaking and wanted to cry. How long had the GPS been there? How long has Fred been following me without me

knowing? Was he watching me at that moment? Is he going to add a another one? I called my husband to meet me at the lawyer's office and told him everything. At the office I just wanted to disappear. I wanted to run away and not look back. I was terrified and I felt so violated, knowing I was being watched for who knows how long. With everything we had gathered, my lawyer was able to get a temporary restraining that same day. We are currently going through the process of getting a restraining order where I will have to go to court and see Fred again. My lawyer says the process can be long and draining, but it's something I do need to get for my own safety. I got a bit scared and had my husband's car also checked for anything.

Thankfully nothing was found in his car. I started feeling watched at home, so I had my whole house turned upside down looking for anything maybe Fred had placed. Again, thankfully nothing was found. I've told neighbors about what we found and to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious. I've also started my safety training for handling a gun and shooting and still trying to get my CCW but it can be a long process. Thank you again for everyone who has given me advice and I'll keep you updated if creepy Fred tries anything.
