Sandra Ring-Morse of Ingersoll is also suing the Roman Catholic Diocese of London and the religious order priest Jason Martin belongs to. He denies he is the father of her youngest son.
For a while, Sandra Ring-Morse thought she was living a real-life fairy tale.
Just months after her infant daughter was born dead and her marriage failed, a high school sweetheart rushed back into her life, vowing to leave his life in the Roman Catholic priesthood and promising true love and a lifetime of happiness, she says.
For seven months, Ring-Morse says, they lived together blissfully. They were engaged and had set a wedding date.
But what began with such whirlwind promise has evaporated into the stuff only soap opera writers might dream up.
Jason Martin, the man who had so quickly appeared in her life, abruptly left her in July 2004 and disappeared back into the priesthood, she says.
Two weeks later, the 31-year-old Ingersoll woman, already severely stressed by his departure, found out she was pregnant.
