My Husband Convinced Me to Be a Surrogate Twice – When He Paid His Mom’s Debt, He Left Me
When Melissa agrees to surrogacy to help her husband’s struggling mother, she believes it’s an act of love. But as devotion turns to exploitation, she faces a devastating betrayal and must reclaim her future.
Melissa thought surrogacy was for their family’s future—her husband Ethan convinced her it would clear his mother’s debts. She carried two babies, sacrificing her body, believing they were in it together. The first pregnancy felt meaningful, but the second left her physically and emotionally drained. Ethan grew distant, eventually leaving her, claiming she’d “changed.” Alone with their son Jacob, Melissa felt used, her stretch marks a reminder of betrayal.
Struggling financially, she took a job at a women’s health clinic, finding purpose in helping others. Therapy and journaling helped her heal. When Ethan’s reputation crumbled at work and he moved back with his mother, Melissa felt relief, not revenge. A kind nutritionist helped her reclaim her health, while Hazel’s mother, Victoria, gifted her a day of pampering at her salon. Posting about her recovery online, Melissa’s “Fit Mom Diary” built a community, inspiring others with her story of resilience.
Now, living in a bright apartment with Jacob, Melissa runs a growing support group for exploited mothers. She’s no longer defined by others—just Melissa, whole and rising.
