Mom To Be Lashes Out At Her Unborn Kids’ Future Stepmom For Treating Her Like A Surrogate, Moves Far Away From Her
When relationships end and unexpected pregnancies arise, it’s a scenario that unfolds in various ways. For some women, learning they’re pregnant after a breakup can lead to a reconsideration of their former partners’ roles in their lives. While some fathers may initially resist the idea of fatherhood outside of a relationship, others embrace the responsibility, opting to play an active role in their child’s upbringing despite the relationship’s end. This dynamic highlights the complexities and decisions faced by individuals navigating parenthood amid shifting personal dynamics.
In a troubling Reddit post OP shared a harrowing tale of an overbearing future co-parent who has crossed multiple boundaries.

1. Is OP wrong for calling out her kids’ future stepmom for treating her like a surrogate?
2. OP dated Joe for three months before he left her to return to his ex, Kim. After their breakup, she discovered she was pregnant and is now 24 weeks along; Joe was ecstatic as he has always wanted to be a father.
3. Due to COVID-19, Joe could only attend the initial appointment, where they discovered she was having twins. When Joe shared the news with Kim, she had a mental breakdown over her infertility.
4. OP met Joe and Kim at their house, where Kim insisted on being involved in the pregnancy as the future stepmother. Kim made demands but OP told them she is capable of making the best choices for her children and her body.
5. Kim continued to be overbearing, texting daily. During a virtual genetics counseling appointment, Kim attended in Joe’s place and dominated the conversation .
6. For the 20-week scan, Joe suggested taking Kim instead of him, but OP refused and Joe attended, learning the gender while she chose to keep it a surprise for a gender reveal party.
7. OP was irritated but stayed silent until Kim threw a gender reveal party without inviting her and announced a baby shower on social media.
8. OP called Joe to reiterate her points, stating she wouldn’t see either of them until family court and that her mother would be her birthing partner.
9. The feedback from Redditors scared her, so OP is getting a lawyer ASAP!!
10. OP never considered this pregnancy could have been intentional as they did use birth control ways.
11. On Thursday OP went to the police, and obtained an order of protection against Joe. She then hired a lawyer to discuss custody matters.
12. After someone sent this post to Kim, she came to OP’s job, damaging her car and breaking several office windows. As OP works with children, Kim was arrested.
13. OP obtained protection orders against both Kim and Joe. Despite leaving the state, they continued to har*ss OP, prompting her to press charges in her new state too.
