Teen daughter disowns mother in favor of cheating dad – years later she comes back begging
One woman’s life underwent a significant transformation when she married a wealthy man, whom she viewed as a blessing to her family.
In her Reddit post, she detailed how this man generously bestowed lavish gifts upon her parents, settled her sister’s credit card debts, and even arranged a lucrative job for her brother at a prestigious company.
Naturally, her in-laws held her husband in high regard for his generosity and support during difficult times, even in the face of his infidelity.
The first incident of infidelity occurred shortly after she gave birth to their child, Kelly. Feeling vulnerable and considering leaving her husband, she sought counsel from her family. Despite their supportive words, she found it challenging to reach a decision and ultimately chose to remain in the marriage. She rationalized her husband’s infidelity by convincing herself that she had failed to be the ideal wife to him during her pregnancy.
Years later, when Kelly was about 12, her husband cheated once again. This time, she was resolute about filing for divorce. However, her family and in-laws opposed the idea, fearing the scandal would tarnish the family’s reputation. Despite their objections, she proceeded with the divorce, but the custody battle over Kelly proved arduous. Her ex-husband’s legal team, along with her in-laws, held the advantage.
Ultimately, she lost custody of Kelly, although she received alimony and a fair settlement. Despite her efforts to maintain contact with her daughter, her in-laws and parents vilified her to Kelly, depicting her as unforgiving and unwilling to accept her ex-husband’s apologies. Consequently, by the time Kelly reached her teenage years, she had been convinced of her mother’s villainy.
During these challenging times, her best friend Tina provided unwavering support and companionship, serving as her confidant and rock. Without Tina, she might not have persevered. Over the years, she attempted to rebuild her relationship with Kelly. Although she agreed to support Kelly’s graduate school tuition, the conditions were stringent. In exchange for financial assistance, Kelly had to relinquish her position as her mother’s heir, as outlined in her will.
However, life had a way of restoring equilibrium. Kelly focused on rebuilding her life, pursuing an accountancy degree, and securing a well-paying job. Meanwhile, her ex-husband faced a series of setbacks, losing his job and becoming embroiled in legal troubles. Consequently, he depleted his resources, including the funds intended for Kelly’s college education.
With her newfound financial independence and a deeper understanding of life’s complexities, Kelly experienced a change of heart and expressed a desire to reconnect with her mother. However, the woman couldn’t help but question whether this change was driven by Kelly’s recent financial struggles, particularly after her tuition support was no longer assured.
Though the woman agreed to cover Kelly’s graduate school expenses, the condition required Kelly to forfeit her inheritance status as outlined in her mother’s will. In the woman’s will, her primary beneficiary was her goddaughter, Laura, who had been a significant presence in her life over the years.
Predictably, this decision has sparked family controversy. Relatives are divided over whether the woman was justified in prioritizing Laura as her heir over her biological daughter, especially considering Kelly’s apparent interest in reconnecting only after facing financial difficulties.
