Woman Pregnant With Twins Has To Find A Lawyer Because Her Ex’s New GF With Fertility Issues Treats Her Like A Surrogate
When Reddit goes all serious and tells you to immediately get a lawyer, you know that something’s up and things can go really bad. It’s like Instagram telling you to take a break from scrolling, Facebook not showing any ads, or Twitter suddenly being respectful of different points of view in a discussion. In other words, when that happens, things are about to go down.
Redditor Throwaway-twinmama, who lives on the East Coast, shared a very personal and frightening story with the AITA community, asking for advice on whether she was doing the right thing. The woman is pregnant with twins and the father, Joe, had gone back to his ex-girlfriend, Kim, already. However, both Joe and Kim want to be involved in the pregnancy, the birth process, and raising the kids.
Only one problem—Kim is way too invested in the process. So much so that she wants one of the twins and it’s really scaring Throwaway-twinmama. The redditor called her out on it, but after she turned to Reddit for advice, things took an even darker turn. Check the full story out below, dear Pandas. It’s a wild one today.

Other internet users convinced the mother-to-be to seek legal help
Later on, the woman posted an update: her ex’s gf went berserk after she saw the story on Reddit

Throwaway-twinmama’s story would have made pretty much anyone uneasy with how little Kim and Joe cared about her boundaries, treating the redditor as though she were a surrogate.
The family situation was complicated as it was, but Kim made things even more difficult by constantly barraging the redditor with advice about her body, throwing a gender reveal party without inviting the mom-to-be, and implying that she wants one of the children.
We try not to judge people too much, but Kim scares the bejesus outta me and I can’t help but offer the same advice that the AITA community gave: get a lawyer. And that’s exactly what Throwaway-twinmama did. She also spoke about what’s happening to the police. So far, there’s nothing much that they can do.
The redditor’s even considering moving to a different state to make sure that a separate set of laws applies to her children and the kooky couple have less of a claim to them. But if you thought that Kim would sit quietly and wait for things to happen naturally, you were wrong. She actually went full-on rage mode, destroying the mom-to-be’s belongings.
After somebody sent Kim the link to the redditor’s post on the AITA subreddit, she went to the twin mom’s job. She then proceeded to damage her car, broke a lot of office windows, and scared the kids that the redditor works with.
Here’s what the members of the AITA community on Reddit have been saying

I wouldn't let Kim have custody of a crayon! The suggestions above that the couple could have deliberately broken up to get someone else pregnant might not be far off the mark. It's certainly possible given Kim's craziness. Lawyers and a move to another state are definitely in order.

This whole situation sounds like a movie that’s waiting to be written. It seems insane, but would definitely make a good movie

If Kim's behaviour escalates it will lead to her trying to kidnap your babies (this may sound extreme but it seems to be heading that way). You have a lawyer so get far away.

Given what we just read, I wouldn't be surprised if Kim did try kidnapping. I'd be horrified but not surprised.

When I read that about the home birth, the first thing I thought was, "They are going to kill OP the minute she has those babies."

How truly terrifying for the OP, and really sad that she's not able to enjoy this time as she gets ready for the twins arrival. I hope she is able to protect her new family

On the bright side, now that Kim went mental at her work and got arrested, you have grounds for an order of protection against her for you and your unborn kids.

Also, audio and video is king in a lot of custody cases in the US. Not only record date and time of interactions...video them too. It's going to be hard for them to argue against a video of them doing the stuff they may deny later in court. Also, do not let them know you are moving to another state as they may be able to get an injunction to stop you.

I hope her lawyer fully explains that she does NOT have to put the father's name on the birth cert at birth. Make sure, wherever she goes and whatever hospital she chooses to give girth at knows this unequivocal request. The downside is lack of child support, but I think, in this situation, this would be best. If he, later, decides to leave the GF and has shown to the OP that she is completely out of his life and is willing to be in his children's lives, then they might start to discuss adding him to the BC - which can be done at any time after birth.

My mom doesn’t have my sister’s (we have different dads) father name in her birth certificate and he still has to pay child support. I’d look it up myself and see.

This could have been great. This woman is happy, his ex / dad-to-be is happy and even ex's girlfriend is happy. The kids could have loving mom, dad and stepmom. Why does people need to be batsh*t crazy? (And by crazy I'm referring to ex's girlfriend, her mother and probably ex himself too. )

This is absolutely terrifying and I also feel for the mom having to deal with this stress. Stay safe mom ❤

Oh boy, that is scary. I'm sure you don't want to move away from Your family and friends, but please move to a State that gives you the most protection from this very sick lady. Good luck for good health and happiness for the babies and yourself.
