My mother had taken my newborn, claiming I\u2019d signed temporary guardianship\u2014though I hadn\u2019t. The hospital and police couldn\u2019t help without a court order. She spread lies, calling me unfit, while I was still recovering.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"1007\">A social worker revealed she had a history of child neglect. My partner and I hired an attorney, gathered evidence, and fought for my son. The court granted me full custody, limiting her to supervised visits. Holding my baby after weeks apart was overwhelming\u2014relief, love, and exhaustion all at once.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1171\">I realized I was stronger than I knew.

Your story matters. Love isn\u2019t always what it seems.
