Our narrator (Original Poster) invites us all down memory lane to an epic tale from over a decade ago. The best part was it all unfolded on the eve of their birth!

For fifteen years, OP’s mother was trapped in an abusive cycle with her partner. Time and time again, she summoned the strength to leave, but this was always short-lived. She was quickly reeled back in by his masterful manipulative tactics.

The gravity of her situation intensified as she carried the weight of a new life within her—OP! In the midst of this emotional storm, OP's mom faced a dire medical condition. The odds of her surviving childbirth hung at a nerve-wracking 50/50.

But the hospital came prepared, summoning their full medical artillery. A squad of twenty specialists were poised to swoop in at the slightest hint of complications.

Labor was no easy feat, but with her medical condition, the pain was cranked up to the very max—Imagine the fear coursing through her veins.

Surprisingly, OP’s father was present at the birth, which was very unlike him. There and then, OP’s mom decided she would have her revenge.

With a sly glint, she seized her husband’s outstretched hand, insisting the painkillers weren’t working. She clamped down hard, compressing the pain of fifteen years of abuse into one malicious squeeze. 

Snap! The hand finally shattered like glass; he had to rush to the A&E unit to fix it. 

A top-tier tale of revenge if OP ever saw one.

Let’s dig into the details

A little background

OP’s mom used the pain of childbirth as an opportunity to break their abusive dad’s hand in the labor room

Up until the woman passed away, she was proud that she was able to get back at her abusive husband

Here’s how the Reddit community reacted to the story:

Don’t mess with a woman giving birth

“This is why we tell the brand new nurses to allow only two fingers to be held.“

According to OP, their mom had 3 more kids with him

“My husband has never been abusive and I tried to break his hand during child birth.“

“When laboring with my 3rd, I held my husbands hand so hard his wedding ring started cutting into his fingers.”

“No wonder he absconded from being present for the births of the rest of the children.”

“I think I can understand why he didn't show up for the others.”

“I saw a mom in labor punch her baby daddy in the nose. It was bad!”

“I applaud your mum for that great revenge.”

OP’s mom could be a world champion with that amount of force

OP’s mother's sly victory served as a firm rebuttal to her challenging past—OP couldn’t have been prouder. Their mother beamed with mischievous pride each time she retold the story until the day she died. 

This shows that even in life's harshest storms, one can weave stories of strength, laughter, and, most importantly, victory. What do you think about this story? Let us know in the comments.
