Mommy's Coming, Sweetheart

On the day my daughter turned one month old, my husband's beloved first love barged in while clutching an unconscious baby. She slapped herself repeatedly while pleading frantically to me. "If it weren't for my lack of milk, I definitely wouldn't have dared to trouble you to feed my child. I deserve to die for this. Please, I beg you, spare my child's life! Don't poison her!"

In a fit of rage, my husband sent me to a cattle ranch to "learn what real motherly love is." A month later, he brought the whole family to pick me up.
