A single mother was terrified when she found a onesie in her crib instead of her baby. This is what actually happened

This is a story about how the mother woke up in the middle of the night and found her baby boy, Nathan, missing from his crib. The mother, Britney was immediately panicked. Only Nathan’s onesie was remained in his crib and Britney feared her worst nightmare had come true.

Britney divorced with his husband Karl. She was an independent businesswoman, didn’t rely on anyone and didn’t wait for help from anyone. Despite the difficulties after the divorce she continued to raise Nathan on her own, and make him a good person. She didn’t realize it, but she was actually trying to prove something to herself.

Britney thought that the only person her son needed was her. She grew increasingly anxious about being left alone with Nathan in the house, because if anything were to happen, she would be virtually helpless. Not to mention his strange sleeping habits.

Britney decided to invest in a top quality baby monitor so that if Nathan started crying, he would alert her immediately. Her worries kept growing, as did her insomnia and even more unpredictable sleep patterns. She worried about so many little things and always checked her son’s bedroom every night.

She noticed weird things sometimes, but was afraid to tell it to others. And one night when she was checking her son’s room, she saw that in the crib was only his onesie and Nathan wasn’t there in his room. He still couldn’t walk or even stand properly which meant he couldn’t just go anywhere on his own.

Britney was terrified and froze in place. She tried to look him everywhere but understood that it was impossible to find him anywhere. Britney suddenly leaned over the crib and grabbed a shirt button and she recognized it. It bore a personalized inscription from a local tailor. The same tailor from whom Britney had bought Karl a shirt for his birthday a few years earlier.

Britney called Karl but he didn’t pick up and she had to leave a voicemail saying that he better answer that call. She knows he has Nathan. “Bring him back now immediately!”

She didn’t even know where Karl was living at the time. But soon Karl finally picked up the phone and began to Immediately apologize saying that he just wanted to see Nathan.

Of course they argued as they had so many disagreements. Soon Britney waited on the lawn and saw Karl pushing Nathan in his stroller and heading home. Britney put Nathan to bed and went to talk to Karl, who was pacing down the aisle.

Karl told that he did everything for them to be happy, but Britney was so absorbed in her work that she forget about them.

And as after their divorce she didn’t let Karl see his son anymore he had no other way.

Britney got emotional and remembered how Karl really cared about his family. She realized how much that must have hurt Karl. Britney finally faced the truth of the situation.

Karl just wanted to hang out with Nathan, and it turned out it wasn’t the first time he visited him at night, it sounds strange but he had no other choice. That is why Britney was always nervous and noticed something.

After all this between them, Britney finally was brave enough to tell Karl: “I need your help, I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

Karl replied that he never even wanted to leave her and their child. Over the next few months, Britney and Karl began going to couples therapy to resolve their issues. Britney and Karl balanced their work and family life. Together, they managed to find a balanced relationship as co-parents, and soon after, their romance was rekindled…
