I also added security-camera footage capturing Vanessa shouting at Sophie during the party.
Finally, I addressed the camera myself.
“My ex-wife says children steal your best years. Mine gave me a reason to make those years count.”
I made no threats or personal attacks.
The video simply documented ten years of our family life.
I uploaded it the next evening, expecting only a few hundred people to watch.
By breakfast, my phone was ringing constantly.
“Dad!” Rachel shouted. “You’ve passed three hundred thousand!”
“Views?”
“What else?”
Nathan called shortly afterward.
“One of Vanessa’s sponsors just paused her campaign!”
“Already?”
“Apparently, people are flooding their page with comments.”
Three days afterward, Nathan brought more news.
“More sponsors are reviewing Mom’s contracts.”
“All because of our video?”
“And what she said about Sophie, Dad.”
Soon, the marketing director from the furniture company contacted me.
“Daniel, we watched your video. We’ve terminated Vanessa’s partnership.”
