Some betrayals cut so deep that they change everything you thought you knew about trust, love, and what it means to be a mother. This is the story of how I almost lost my daughter to someone who thought she could buy her way into being her mom.

If I tell you how my life was five years ago, you’d think I was the luckiest woman on this planet.

I had a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, and a house full of laughter and happiness. I was in a really happy place mentally and physically, but then it all came crashing down the moment I realized my husband was not exactly who he pretended to be.
