This woman took her pregnant friend in, helped with the birth, and brought the mother and child home before she discovered it was her husband’s baby. Hailey Custer, 28, from Arizona, who found out her best friend was having a baby, was eager to help and excitedly did the little things like give the baby her first bath and bring her home from the hospital after birth. The woman little knew that she was taking care of the baby of her husband, who cheated on her best friend behind her back!
The 28-year-old revealed how she was married to her husband, Travis Bowling, 36, for six years before she found out he was cheating on her. The couple shared four children together, and all the while, he had affairs with multiple women and fathered children outside of their marriage. Hailey only discovered the truth after deciding to take her homeless best friend in after she got pregnant. She said: “I heard rumors that my friend was pregnant and homeless, so I reached out to her. I felt the need to help her,”.
“We are all charismatic people, so we all had that nature to be charismatic around each other and make jokes. I didn’t see anything there. I was very naive…”After the baby’s birth, Hailey brought the mother and child home and then saw a rare heredity birth defect on their neck, which was identical to her husband’s birthmark. Hailey recalled: “We had just got home from the hospital and I was changing the baby when she turned her neck the birth defect popped out…”. The woman continued: “I felt it and was like ‘OK’, this shock came over me.
I could tell when my friend was standing next to me because I looked at her. She couldn’t say anything, just lowered her head and gazed at the floor, and I knew. There were no words spoken; I simply knew.” Hailey discovered that her husband had cheated on her with at least 30 different women as her husband’s lies unraveled. During their marriage, this bad man fathered two children with two different women. “I was in a lot of shock in the beginning, I couldn’t even process what had happened, it was almost like a stage of grief,” Hailey explained.
“You have your shock, your anger, and you realize that this is actually real life, that this is actually happening.” “Before I found out, I stepped into that father figure role,” she added. “I was with her every step of the way.” I wore the daddy wrist band even in the hospital, and when she got her epidural, she laid on me. “I gave the baby her first bath.” Although it took some time, Hailey was eventually able to accept the situation and even allowed her best friend to stay with her. Hailey stated:
“We have this innocent child who had no say in this entire situation, you have someone who doesn’t have anywhere to go, who has no family, and we’re not going to throw them out on the street,” says the judge. “I kept thinking of my kids; after all, that is their blood sibling, and I’m not going to be the one who harms that child.” As a result, she ended up staying with us.” Hailey is now telling the world about her experience so that others can learn. She stated: “It’s like drinking poison and wanting them to die when you don’t forgive yourself.” “When I forgive myself, it means I’m forgiving because I can’t stay sick any longer.”
