She Just Went Through Brain Surgery. Her Husband Had a ‘Surprise’ Waiting at Home: ‘Is He Dead?’
Everyone has secrets of their own to keep. But Ann M. (@lazyfacedmom) alleged that her ex-husband lived a double life. He appeared as a dutiful husband in public but turned into a different man in the privacy of their home.
“Right after I had brain surgery, this man had a very, very bad drinking problem,” Ann said of her ex-husband. She claimed that he could drink a gallon of whisky by himself every other day. His problem persisted even after she had been hospitalized for her brain surgery.
Ann recalled that the surgery took fourteen hours, and her husband stayed with her. When she finally got wheeled to the Intensive Care Unit, her husband was nowhere to be found. The first person to visit her was her father.
She started crying because she wanted to see her husband. But then, Ann was informed that her husband was just down the hall, talking to another woman. Ann alleged that the staff had to tell him to come to her room to check on her.
“She just got out of brain surgery. They just scooped a golf ball off of her brain stem. Would you like to check on her?” Ann re-enacted what the staff supposedly told her husband. But she alleged that he nonchalantly responded.
“I guess so,” he supposedly said. Ann stated that at the time, she was nursing her five-week-old baby at home. Since she was taking care of a baby and was recovering from surgery, Ann didn’t expect any wild surprises to come her way. But her husband apparently had other plans.
Her husband wanted to throw a house party
“This man threw a party. 50 people at my house,” Ann revealed. She explained that when he threw the party, she was clearly still recovering. Her surgical scar was still visible, part of her head was shaved, one of her eyes was sewn shut, she couldn’t talk and was still drooling from one side of her mouth, and she couldn’t walk without a walker. Essentially, she was in no state to party.
Nevertheless, Ann alleged that her ex propped her up “like Weekend at Bernie’s” for guests to see. She was uncomfortable with the experience, but Ann said that her ex did it because he wanted to receive praise and sympathy.
Ironically, Ann claimed that her ex got drunk that night and couldn’t take care of their baby. When the baby started crying, she tried alerting him to feed their child.
“If you can just get his bottle and bring me the baby, I can feed him,” Ann supposedly pled. She said that she wasn’t supposed to carry anything heavier than a plate, so she couldn’t even lift her son on her own. Despite her pleas, her husband allegedly ignored her.
After pleading thrice, Ann said that her husband kicked her away from the couch.
“So, I slither off the couch like a little worm—an army crawl, over to my crying newborn,” she said. Ann was able to scoop her son from the basket and make the bottle without her walker. She started feeding him on the floor as she broke down.
“He threw a party so everyone could see and give him compliments—and gawk at me like a circus freak—and I’m still maintaining all of the household load,” Ann alleged.
She got away just in time
The story went viral on social media, with some people applauding Ann’s resilience. One comment read, “BRAIN SURGERY 5 WEEKS POST PARTUM JFC YOU ARE SUPERWOMAN.” Another wrote, “That’s beyond red flag at that point! I’m so glad you got out of that marriage.” But others were also furious at Ann’s situation and wished her ex the worst.
Someone asked, “Is he dead?” Ann responded, confirming that he has already passed. Although her story is difficult to hear, she is one of the lucky few to get away from a relationship gone south.
