But then my nurse revealed what Mom had asked about taking my daughter home.

“GET OUT—AND TAKE THAT BABY!” my father screamed at 2 a.m., throwing my hospital bag onto rain-soaked pavement. Five days after giving birth, I could barely stand as my newborn cried against my chest. My mother rolled up her window while I begged them to drive us home. They left.
