I had to stumble my way through the whole appointment alone. When I walked out of the clinic, I saw his ex's social media post: [Seven pounds, six ounces. Our baby's finally here.] The photo showed her holding a newborn while being in his arms, both of them smiling blissfully. I stared at the screen for a long time before typing: [Since you two already had a baby, I'll step aside. Now you can be a real family.] Then I booked an abortion appointment, went home, and handed him the divorce papers. He never expected I'd just walk out on him. For the first time ever, he panicked.
