My husband secretly gave away nearly $1,400 worth of my maternity clothes to his pregnant sister while I was working a nursing shift.

I was eight and a half months pregnant, with swollen feet, an approaching due date, and almost nothing left that fit me. When I demanded my clothes back, he calmly continued making his lunch.

“You’re nearly finished being pregnant,” he said. “My sister needs those things more than you do.”

I thought his selfishness was the worst part.

Then I discovered his sister was selling my clothes online.

And when my mother-in-law arrived with three enormous shopping bags, my husband finally learned that his mother wasn’t going to defend him.

My name is Anna Keller. I was thirty years old, living in Des Moines with my husband, Nick, and expecting our first child, a daughter we had already named Nora.

On Saturday, October 10, I returned home after an exhausting early shift at the hospital.
