AQUELE DO CASTIGO
Summary
Nicole, who has four autoimmune diseases, faced a hostile in-law family that called her health complications "punishment" for setting boundaries on newborn visits. After nearly dying during an emergency C-section and experiencing postpartum hemorrhage, her in-laws remained critical and unsupportive. A psychologist validates Nicole’s decision to cut contact, emphasizing that protecting her mental health is essential despite the family's lack of empathy.
