The day my husband left should have been the happiest of my life. I was 23, exhausted but overjoyed, holding three tiny newborns in my arms. We had dreamed of becoming parents together — but just hours after the delivery, Adam whispered that he “needed some air.” I thought nothing of it until the clock ticked past midnight, and he still hadn’t returned. He didn’t answer calls, didn’t send a message, didn’t look back. When the nurse helped me buckle three car seats into a taxi, I realized I was going home alone — a new mother to three babies, with a heart shattered in ways I didn’t yet understand.
