My Husband Told Me to “Handle It Yourself” While I Was in Labor So He Could Stay at His Mother’s Birthday—Then I Made One Phone Call

When Liam had reflux, Brandon spent an entire weekend walking him around a tiny apartment because lying flat made him cry.

I knew because he texted:

Is this normal?

I almost answered sarcastically:

Babies have emergencies every day.

I deleted it.

Then explained reflux.

Co-parenting required me not to use Liam as a delivery system for old anger.
