After years of struggling to have children, the birth of my triplets, Sophie, Lily, and Grace, was a dream come true. But the joy quickly turned to shock when my husband, Jack, arrived at the hospital the next day with a strange, distant demeanor. His face was pale, and he hesitated to come near the babies. When I asked him what was wrong, he revealed that his mother had consulted a fortune teller who claimed that the babies would bring bad luck, even death. Jack, believing in his mother’s words, suggested that we couldn’t keep the girls. Heartbroken and furious, I told him that if he left, he should never come back.

In the weeks that followed, I raised the triplets alone, with Jack’s absence weighing heavily on me. His sister, Beth, eventually told me that Jack’s mother had fabricated the entire fortune teller story out of jealousy and a desire for grandsons. She had been disappointed at the gender reveal party and wanted Jack’s attention to herself. Filled with rage and betrayal, I confronted Jack, but he refused to believe the truth, and he dismissed me, cutting off all contact.

As months passed, I grew stronger, focusing solely on my daughters. They became my everything, and with the support of friends and family, I began to heal. But then Jack’s mother came to my door, tearfully apologizing for her role in tearing our family apart. Though I was filled with anger, I refused to forgive her, knowing the damage had already been done.

One year later, Jack appeared at my doorstep, full of regret and asking for another chance. He admitted his mistake and begged to be a part of our lives again. But by that time, I had built a new life with my daughters. I stood firm, telling him that he had abandoned us when we needed him most, and I closed the door on him for good.

That night, as I rocked my daughters to sleep, I realized that we didn’t need Jack. We had formed a bond that no one could break, and our family was whole with just the three of us. Despite the pain and betrayal, love for my children had given me the strength to move on and build a better future.
