Unfortunately, 2024 has served as pretty much the worst, most trauma-filled year for this 35-year-old woman. She was married to her 42-year-old husband for eight years, and they have two children together: a 7-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son.
She truly believed their marriage was amazing, but that all crashed and burned on her seven months back when she found out that her husband was cheating on her with her 24-year-old little sister, of all people.
Her son heard a conversation between her husband and sister at a family event that was not appropriate in the least, so her son approached her about it.
He was puzzled and distraught as he recounted to her what was said. She immediately went to her husband about it, and although he tried to pretend like he had no idea what she was talking about, he finally confessed the truth.
“I was utterly shattered. But what made it even worse was that my mom sided with my husband and sister,” she explained.
“She defended their actions, saying, “Your sister is young and doesn’t know any better,” and, “Your husband must have felt neglected to fall for someone else.” Then she had the audacity to suggest I forgive them and “keep the family together for the kids.” I was stunned and disgusted.”
“My dad, on the other hand, was furious. He called out my mom’s behavior, told her she was enabling betrayal, and eventually filed for divorce from her because he couldn’t tolerate her lack of morals. He’s been one of my few sources of support throughout all of this.”
Oh, and it also slipped out that her mom cheated on her dad, and her little sister might not be her dad’s biological child.
She also wasted no time divorcing her own husband, and she promptly cut him, her sister, and her mom right out of her life.

She never did find out how long the affair carried on, but her son remembers her husband spending a lot of time talking to her sister, so it seems it’s been happening for years.
Her kids have been having a tough time dealing with all of this, and her son is exceptionally furious. He’s insisting he never wants to see his dad again for tearing their family apart.
Her daughter hasn’t said much, but her behavior is pointing to the fact that she’s struggling. She and her kids are currently going to therapy in an effort to overcome this together.
In the last couple of months, she’s really picked up the pieces and moved ahead. She also has a new love interest – her 36-year-old girlfriend.
Her girlfriend is sweet and sympathetic, and she’s wonderful with her children. Her kids actually adore her girlfriend, which is helping her see that life will go on and it’s getting brighter.
However, the mayhem is not behind her. Her now ex-husband and her sister are no longer together, and her sister is accusing her mom of making it come undone since she supported their relationship.
Her mom has since started calling and texting her nonstop to say she’s the one who wrecked their whole family by not wanting to issue any forgiveness.
Her mom even said that her new girlfriend is nothing but a “slap in the face” to all their loved ones, and she called her self-centered for keeping her sister cut off.
“To top it off, my ex-husband has been reaching out, begging for forgiveness, and asking for a second chance,” she said.
“He’s telling me it was all a mistake and that he misses me and the kids. My son and daughter both want nothing to do with him, but I’m conflicted about how much of a relationship (if any) they should have with their father.”
“My dad and friends say I’m doing the right thing by cutting out toxic people and focusing on rebuilding my life. But the guilt-tripping from my mom and sister is starting to wear me down, and I’m wondering if I’m being too harsh. Should I try to reconcile with my mom and sister for the sake of family? Should I give my ex more of a chance to be involved for the sake of the kids?”
