\n\n\n\nShe couldn\u2019t understand how my daughter could have dark skin when both my husband and I were white. Explaining to her that genetics are powerful and that Amelia\u2019s skin color was inherited from my husband\u2019s great-grandfather, who was Black, was to no avail.\n\n\n\n
Janice didn\u2019t want to listen. What\u2019s most, she accused me of infidelity.\n\n\n\n But destroying my baby\u2019s room was something I wasn\u2019t willing to tolerate.\n\n\n\n As she spoke ill of my daughter, demanding I \u201cgive her to her black family,\u201d adding one insult after another, most of which racist, I managed to take my phone out and record her without her being aware of it. It was then that I heard Tim\u2019s car pulling in the driveway. I started calling his name, asking from him to come to the baby\u2019s room.\n\n\n\n When he entered, he was as shocked as I was.\n\n\n\n \u201cMom, are you insane?\u201d he yelled at her. \u201cWhat have you done?\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cTim, this woman is a liar. She wants you to raise another man\u2019s child.\u201d \u201cMom, Alice is my daughter, how can\u2019t you understand that?\u201d Tim asked, not able to fight his mom\u2019s stubbornness any longer.\n\n\n\n \u201cPlease pack your things and leave, we don\u2019t want you here any longer.\u201d\n\n\n\n Janice yelled \u201cfine,\u201d and slammed the door of the nursery.\n\n\n\n I was about to cry when Tim told me she wasn\u2019t worth it. Her words meant nothing. They couldn\u2019t hurt us.\n\n\n\n Since Janice offended me, I decided to teach her a lesson. Taking to the social media, I wrote a post about Amelia, the nursery her dad and I decorated with so much love, and how her grandma destroyed it completely. I uploaded the recording, and in no time, the post got the attention of the entire family, as well as Janice\u2019s friends.\n\n\n\n Tim and I received plenty of messages of support, while Janice received backlash for her racist comments.\n\n\n\n Later, we learned that the post was seen by her boss, who fired her.\n\n\n\n In the weeks to come, we worked to rebuild our lives and our daughter\u2019s room. It took some time, but the place was once again vibrant and full of life, just like our baby daughter deserved.\n\n\n\n Over time, Janice tried to reach to us, but both Tim and I agreed that we didn\u2019t need her in our lives. Her words and actions led to her humiliation, and honestly, I didn\u2019t feel sorry for her because I believe she deserved it.\n\n\n\n Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.\n\n\n\n Love and Peace\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n\n\n
