When Emily tried to leave him, Daniel threatened to release her private photographs and destroy her professional reputation.
Later, my daughter confessed that Daniel had forced her into an intimate relationship against her will, ignoring her refusal.
After discovering she was pregnant, Emily seemed to become a completely different person.
She refused to move into Daniel’s house and cut off all contact with him.
But she showed no affection for the unborn baby either.
Every day, I watched my daughter standing on the balcony with a bottle of beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
“Emily, you’re expecting a baby! How can you behave like this?”
She wouldn’t even turn around.
“Mom, I never asked to become a mother. Just because something happened to my body doesn’t mean I have to love what was done to me.”
Her words broke my heart.
One night, my daughter came home at four in the morning. Her shoes were covered in mud, her hands were trembling, and there were red stains on her white shirt.
