I fell in love with a pregnant woman, promising to help her raise her child, but she chose to have fun and eventually abandoned me. Years later, she returned to do something unimaginable.
I met Molly in college. She was stunning and often surrounded by the popular guys, particularly the football team. Although we became friends, my feelings for her were unreturned. Eventually, she started dating Tanner, the team captain, and I always felt she deserved better.
A few months later, Molly came to my house in tears. Tanner had broken up with her and quickly moved on with someone else. I tried to comfort her, but she was heartbroken. A month after that, she revealed life-altering news: she was pregnant.
When I learned that Tanner wanted nothing to do with the baby, I was furious. He urged her to terminate the pregnancy, which made me even angrier. Molly felt lost; she was in college and didn’t think she could handle being a single mom.
Without hesitation, I offered to marry her and help raise the baby. I didn’t care about my feelings for her; I just wanted to support her. Molly hesitated but eventually agreed, and we went to the courthouse with friends as witnesses.
We managed through the pregnancy, though it was challenging. I was excited to become a father, but Molly seemed increasingly unhappy. She missed her carefree college life. When our daughter, Amelia, was born, I fell in love with her immediately, and I embraced my role as her dad. Molly adapted better than I expected, and we formed a little family.
However, as the years passed, Molly’s discontent grew. When Amelia was five, Molly broke down and said she couldn’t do it anymore. She felt she had lost her youth and decided to leave, shocking me completely. Despite my attempts to reason with her, she packed her things and walked away, leaving me to care for Amelia alone.
I became a single father, which was harder than I imagined. Amelia cried often, missing her mother, but we eventually adjusted. Meanwhile, Molly enjoyed her freedom, frequently posting about her new life on social media, and it broke my heart to see her partying while I raised our daughter.
Years later, I learned Molly had rekindled her relationship with Tanner, the very man who had abandoned her when she needed support. Just when I thought we had moved on, Molly returned, demanding Amelia live with her and Tanner, claiming they were ready to be a family.
I was furious. I had raised Amelia all these years, and I was her true father. Molly threatened to take me to court for custody, and I felt trapped. My lawyers advised settling out of court, but I knew that Amelia belonged with me.
When the court date arrived, Amelia testified, saying I was her only father and that she didn’t want to live with her mother, who had left her. The judge listened, granting me full custody while allowing Molly visitation on weekends. I encouraged Amelia to forgive her mother and build a relationship, but she often reminded me that I was the best father she could have.
From this experience, I learned two important lessons: appreciate what you have, and recognize that some responsibilities require significant sacrifices. Molly threw away her family, only to discover that she couldn’t easily reclaim it.
After photo emerges of Alyssa Milano and her son, 12, at the Super Bowl, fans spot detail that leaves people furious
The Super Bowl attracted the attention of millions of viewers not only from the States but beyond. In the center of attention were certainly Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, whose love is blossoming in front of the eyes of their many fans, but other celebs also made impressions, including Reba McEntire and Usher, among the rest.
The Charmed star Alyssa Milano and her son were also spotted among the crowd. And as much as seeing a mother and her child bonding and having the time of their life together, their photo at the Super Bowl caused quite a stir on the social media.
The reason why is that just a couple of days prior to the game, Milano started a GoFundMe page to raise money for her son’s baseball team that was supposed to travel to Cooperstown, New York.
“Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation,” she wrote on X.
The fundraiser sought for $10,000 and encouraged people to donate to the “diverse, hardworking and really good” 12U team.
Given her net worth, the backlash of her asking for donation and then posing at the Super Bowl was harsh.
“Alyssa is worth a reported $10 million. And look, having traveled to 3 tournaments last summer in 3 different cities in 3 different states, I get it. It’s beyond expensive. But to ask for donations here given her worth and the fact her husband is a CAA agent is really something,” one user wrote at the time.
“Alyssa Milano needs our help, guys!!! This is serious!! Let’s dig deep,” another user quipped on X.
“I remember when raising money for an extracurricular trip actually meant EARNING money for the trip. You know, car washes, bake sales, recycling drives. Kids actually working for it,” someone else said.
Netizens had a lot to say about Milano’s Super Bowl showing.
“How can he get to the game and you request money to take his team to Cooperstown? How out of touch are you,” one person on Instagram asked.
Another asked: “Is this why you created the Go Fund Me? To get you and your kid to the Super Bowl?”
“Damn. Probably could have spent that money one [sic] your son’s baseball team, huh?” another said. “But what do I know.”
Milano answered back and posted a strongly-worded statement after people started targeting her son’s Instagram.
Every parent raises money for their child’s sports teams and many of them do so through GoFundMe. I am no different,” Milano explained.
“As much as I’d love to pay for the entire team and their families for travel, transportation, hotel, food and beverage, uniforms, trading pins, and all the things teams do for this kind of trip—I can not afford to do so. Maybe someday. Also, if I did pay for everyone—my trolls would find something else to be hurtful about.
“Regardless of how you feel about me, going on to my hardworking 12 year old son’s Instagram page and leaving these kinds of messages is so horrid. Leave the kids alone,” the actress added. “Let them play baseball. If you are against donating—don’t donate. If you’d like to donate to help the team’s families — we appreciate it—the link is in his bio.”
