The day my first daughter was born, I felt like my life was finally complete. During the full month of recovery after childbirth, my husband Tyler Bennett took great care of me and helped in every possible way. He left early for work at his accounting firm in Chicago and always returned home on time, then he would step into the kitchen to help with dinner or wash bottles for the baby.

Sometimes he even woke up in the middle of the night to prepare milk bottles so I could rest a little longer. Watching him hold our tiny daughter so gently often brought tears of happiness to my eyes because I felt that I had married a man who truly loved our family.

However after the third week something began to feel strange. Every night between two and three in the morning Tyler quietly walked to the kitchen refrigerator, took packets of the b/rea/st milk I had pumped earlier in the day, and then slipped out of the house without waking anyone.
