I was pregnant with my fourth child when my mother-in-law gave me an ultimatum: if I didn’t have a boy, my three daughters and I would be kicked out. My husband didn’t defend us—he agreed. For years, we were treated like failures because we had girls. The pressure, insults, and emotional abuse only got worse.
One day, they packed our things into trash bags and forced us out. With nowhere else to go, I took my daughters and called my mom. That should’ve been the end—but my father-in-law stepped in. He stood up for us, kicked out the real problem, and helped us rebuild our lives.
Later, I gave birth to a baby boy. But that wasn’t the victory. The real win was leaving a toxic marriage and giving my children a home where they’re loved, respected, and never judged for who they are. 💙
