I was married to Eric Johnson for ten years, and in all that time, I never once got pregnant. His mother, Margaret Johnson, reminded me every single day. She would look me dead in the eye and say, "What's the point of keeping a barren wife around?" Eric never once stood up for me. He just sat there in silence, scrolling through his phone. I was the one who brought up the divorce, but he signed the papers faster than I did. Three months after I remarried, the morning sickness hit me hard, so I went to the hospital to get checked out. The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, you're carrying triplets! Your husband must have some strong genes." In that moment, Margaret's words echoed through my mind. It turned out I was never the barren one.
