Having children is the biggest blessing and struggle in one’s life and the whole process is hard enough as a couple but unimaginable as a single parent. One recently divorced mother learned just how bad things could get.
Bridget Elks was the primary caregiver to her two young children, 1-year-old Kirk and six-year-old Marie when she was forced to get a full-time job after divorcing their father. Hoping to find a nanny to take over her role seemed like the obvious choice but six nannies later, the mother was desperate to know why each one of them kept quitting. So, she installed a camera and was left dumbfounded when she saw the footage.
A Big Change
Elks had always wanted children and was more than happy staying at home and taking care of Kirk and Marie. She had made sure the kids had a good routine and had interacting extracurricular to keep them busy.
And while, everyone could see that Bridget was a great mom, behind the scenes her marriage was crumbling and after trying everything the couple finally decided to get a divorce. While this was the right thing for the adults, the kids were thrown into a whirlwind of emotions.
