My MIL Insisted I Stop Breastfeeding My 5-Week-Old Baby—I Went Pale When I Overheard Her Real Reason
I’m Olga, 5 weeks postpartum with my newborn son. My MIL Ruth demanded a full day alone with him, insisting I switch to formula so she could “bond.” My husband Juan called me selfish for breastfeeding and refusing. After days of pressure, I relented—only to overhear their midnight call.
Juan to Ruth: “She agreed. Once you have him, fly to Martindale, then the mountain house. She’ll never find him.” Ruth: “I’ve waited 30 years for a grandson. This American wife won’t keep him from his real family.”
They planned international kidnapping, claiming I was “unfit” for nursing.
I recorded it, fled to my lawyer, and filed emergency custody + divorce. Next morning, papers served. Ruth screamed “grandma rights”; Juan called it a joke. The judge heard the tape, granted me full custody, banned unsupervised contact.
Trust your gut. I almost lost my son forever.
