She sounded stunned. “What hospital?!” she asked.
It turned out she’d never been hospitalized at all. She had actually been staying with her parents, joyfully announcing her second pregnancy.
Meanwhile, my ex had simply grown tired of his responsibilities as a dad. He had lined up a date with another woman and thought it was a great idea to dump their daughter on me—his ex-wife.
Now I keep wondering if I did the right thing by telling her what happened. She’s pregnant, and I know stress is the last thing she needs.
Still, I can’t shake the guilt that maybe I just made things worse. Maybe I should’ve stayed quiet and let it go.
