She Redecorated Her Late Son’s Room, And After Her Ex-Husband Found Out, He Became Furious With Her
It’s hard to imagine the pain someone must feel when they lose a child. It has to be one of the hardest losses to grieve and one of the most difficult things to cope with.
A woman and her ex-husband lost their son at a young age years ago. Now she’s remarried and ready to start having children again, but her ex doesn’t want her to rearrange their late son’s nursery.
She’s 35, and her ex-husband, Rob, is 37. While they were married six years ago, they lost their one-year-old son Adam in what she described as an unpreventable “tragic accident.”
Adam’s passing was extremely traumatic, especially for Rob, who was napping when the incident happened. He hasn’t been able to work through his guilt and has struggled to move on ever since. He’s been in therapy, but it hasn’t really been able to help him.
Four years ago, she and Rob decided to split after he admitted to not wanting any more children.
“I stayed in the home we shared since it was mine before we married,” she explained. “But I promised my ex he could continue to come over and spend time in our son’s room because he felt close to Adam when he was in the room.”
When her new husband, Sam, moved in two years ago, Rob started visiting their house less.
Now, she has an eight-year-old stepson and is pregnant with her first baby since Adam. She recently discovered that she would have to use Adam’s nursery as a room for her new baby, so she plans to redecorate it.
“I delayed our plans to decorate since I wanted my ex to be aware of the plan,” she said.

“I sent him a few texts that I wanted to talk to him about something important and tried calling a couple of times. I started to believe I might never hear from him again.”
She wasn’t too shocked by Rob not responding, considering he wasn’t too thrilled about her being pregnant again in the first place.
After three weeks of not hearing from him, she began the difficult process of packing up Adam’s things by herself.
In November, she gave birth to her daughter Sarah, who has been staying in the redecorated nursery.
Months later, she finally heard back from Rob. He ignored her earlier messages and asked if he could stop by her house to visit the nursery on Adam’s upcoming birthday.
He became furious when she told him she had redecorated the nursery and packed up Adam’s things. He was mad at her for not giving him a “chance” to visit the nursery one last time, despite him not answering her texts or calls for weeks.
“He accused me of ‘replacing’ our child with my ‘new’ family,” she added.
Now, Rob is demanding that he gets to keep all of Adam’s belongings that she packed up, although she had some special plans for a few of the items.
How do you think she should handle the situation?
