But Mark didn’t back down.

That night he posted a long rant on Facebook: Maya had postpartum psychosis, she’d thrown away perfectly good food in a rage, and I had thrown my elderly, innocent mother out into the cold.

He attached a heavily edited clip and photos of my mother crying.

Within hours, strangers were flooding Maya’s social media with insults.

Maya read the comments from her hospital bed without breaking.

“I’m done hiding,” she said, her voice firmer than I’d ever heard it.
