I need to get this off my chest because, honestly, I can’t stop crying about what happened. I thought I was living every mother’s worst nightmare. But what I discovered was something I could have never expected — something that left me shaken to my core.
For context, my name’s Dayna. I’m a single mom trying to balance a demanding career and raising my eight-year-old son, Liam. I work long hours as a doctor, and it’s not easy, but I’ve always made Liam my priority.
A few weeks ago, I started noticing something wasn’t right. Every day after I came home from the hospital, Liam would look exhausted. And not just the normal kind of tired; he seemed drained, distant.
