Our reader told the story of how she almost lost her newborn son and at the same time lost her husband.
“I looked into the stroller, and there was a strange child. Honestly, my heart stopped. I really stopped feeling his beating. The same stroller, the same envelope and … absolutely alien baby. I remember shouting to my husband: “Where is our son?” He tensed somehow, his eyes were running. In my head, pictures were already drawn, one more terrible than the other: the child was kidnapped, something happened to our son, and he was replaced, I lost my mind. But reality turned out to be much cooler than anything my fantasy could give out.
I confess that the relationship with my husband before my pregnancy was not that perfect. I even suspected that he had another. But, as soon as I announced that there would be three of us soon, Sergei changed. Yes, he disappeared at work, but he explained that now we need more money, because his son should have all the best – he had no doubt that we would have a son. I couldn’t believe in such miracles, I even checked it, but Seryozha actually took more orders, cheated something, even sat on projects on weekends.
I couldn’t get enough of such a change, I thought how happy he was to become a father, what a responsible husband I have. He bought a stroller himself, chose clothes for the baby himself. I was not allowed to go to the store: he explained that it was autumn, there were a lot of people with the flu, there was nothing for me to walk around the malls.
Yegorushka was born a week after the New Year. Our present for Christmas, our sweet boy. My husband celebrated the birth while I was in the hospital. And two weeks later I threw another party for my colleagues. He explained that he was waiting for everyone to return after the holidays and from vacations. I would strain, but who would have thought that the second time he celebrated was not the birth of our son …
Everything was revealed in March. On the eve of the holiday, I asked my husband to take a walk with my son. Although he was going somewhere, he agreed. He took a stroller, dressed the child. I was all in trouble, I was preparing a festive dinner, and I was preparing myself – for the first time I was going to celebrate March 8 in the new status of a mother.
Sergei and Egor lingered on the walk. The husband said that the son was asleep, he did not want to bother him again. And then … he brought home someone else’s child.
It turned out that it was not for nothing that I suspected my husband of treason then. He really had a mistress. In addition, she became pregnant almost at the same time as me. She had a son ten days after mine. And on March 7, my husband went for a walk with two sons at once – and with her. He just confused the strollers. The mistress took our baby home, and Sergei brought her son home. And no wonder! After all, the husband bought his sons all the same. If you do not look under the hood, you cannot immediately determine who is lying there.
The mistress was quite happy with this state of affairs. Her husband fully provided for her during pregnancy, bought everything the child needed, recognized paternity. In fact, even this substitution would be in her hands, so that I would know that my son is not the only child of my husband.
I did not begin to figure out whether it was an accident or the deceit of a rival. I packed my husband’s things while he went to pick up our child. For eight months he has been living with her, but he persuades me to get back together. I don’t know what to do next. Divorce? But this means that the child will grow up without a father. In fact, I will give my rival husband and father to her son. But I cannot live with a traitor and understand that he will constantly go to her. “
