My S.O. almost killed our newborn in 2020

Hello and welcome to my thread of a mother experiencing trauma. I'm a mother of two, my son is now five years old and my daughter is now two. All I ever wanted was to be a normal family. What is normal in my standard you may ask? Normal meaning, waking up making breakfast, getting kids ready for school, going to work and making a living, being able to put food on the table for my family, and not putting my children in a financial crisis. Being able to provide my kids with whatever they want whenever they want, something that I couldn't have; simply wanted to spoil my children. I had my first born in 2017 and I didn't want him to grow up on his own so my "husband" and I decided to have another baby, my daughter welcomed us in 2020. She was everything that I wanted, she was my baby girl, I had so much plans for her and I. I have a good relationship with my mother, she's my best friend and I was so excited to have a best friend... But that wasn't the case. July 27,2020... My son was going through an extremely jealous phase of his new born sister. His pediatrician advised that I should have just "Mommy and Me" time with my son, so I decided to take him swimming that day. My husband worked graveyards and it was another daily routine of him coming home early in the morning, taking my daughter downstairs so that I can get a little bit of sleep. Just like any other day we did the normal routine. I woke up, grabbed my daughter from down stairs, made my son some lunch and I decided to go swimming at my parents home. I shouldn't have left her with my husband... He insisted that I leave her home because it was so hot outside and I insisted to take her but he was firm that he was okay to watch her; so I left my 2 month old new born baby with her dad for 3 hours. I came home after swimming to have him run out with my daughter in his arms, panicked he quickly told me to do something because she wasn't breathing. My daughter was completely limp. No sight of abuse but just formula coming out of her nose and her not breathing. We rushed to the nearest ER where she simply started turning blue. The medical staff was able to bring her back to a stable point where then they transported her to a children's hospital. Children's hospital ran some tests while they had us step out to get our "COVID tests" and they wouldn't let us back in. After a few hours, they let one guardian in and I rushed in. The attending physician said that she definitely aspirated on formula but she also has bleeding and a fracture in her skull. I was devastated and speechless. Never have I ever put my hands on my babygirl. I rushed out to the waiting room and confronted her dad and he denied that he hit her or did anything associated with abuse. We were then under investigation by Metro Police and CPS.... (To be continued...) "
