My Husband Threw Me Out for Being Pregnant—26 Years Later, Our Son Knocked on His Door
When I told my husband I was pregnant, I expected joy, maybe even tears of happiness. Instead, he went pale, then furious. “I’m not ready for this,” he spat before packing my bags and throwing me out. I was left alone, terrified, and heartbroken.
I built a life for myself and my son, Lucas. He grew up knowing his father wanted nothing to do with him. I never spoke badly of the man, but I never hid the truth, either.
Then, 26 years later, Lucas knocked on my door with an unexpected announcement—he was going to meet his father. My heart pounded. Would he face the same rejection?
Hours passed before he returned. His face was unreadable. Then he spoke, “He cried, Mom. He said he regretted everything.”
I never expected my son’s visit would bring closure to a wound I had buried for decades.
