The teenage daughter stops loving her mother to be with her cheating dad; years later, she begs to come back.
When a woman married a rich man, she thought he would be good for her family, her life changed dramatically.
In her Reddit post, she talked about how this man treated her parents very well by giving them expensive gifts, paying off her sister’s credit card debts, and even getting her brother a good job at a company that she trusted.
Her in-laws naturally admired her husband for being kind and helpful during hard times, even when he had been cheating on her.
The first time she cheated on him was right after giving birth to their daughter Kelly. She was weak and thinking about leaving her husband, so she asked her family for help. Even though they were nice, she had a hard time making up her mind and ended up staying in the marriage.
She told herself that her husband had cheated on her because she couldn’t be the best wife to him while she was pregnant.
After many years, when Kelly was about 12, her husband cheated on her again. She was sure that this time she would file for divorce. But her family and in-laws didn’t like the idea because they didn’t want a scandal that would hurt the family’s reputation.
She didn’t want to get a divorce, but the custody battle over Kelly got tough, and her ex-husband’s lawyers and her in-laws had the upper hand.
The woman lost custody of Kelly in the end, but she got alimony and a fair settlement. Even though the woman tried hard to stay in touch with her daughter, her in-laws and her own parents made her look like the bad guy to Kelly.
They made her look like she wasn’t willing to forgive or accept her ex-husband’s sorry. Because of this, Kelly was completely sure that her mother was bad by the time she was a teenager.
The woman turned to her best friend Tina for comfort during these hard times. Tina was always there for her and would talk to her. Without Tina, who was her rock and confidante, she might not have been able to keep going. The woman tried to get back together with her daughter Kelly over the years, and even though she agreed to pay for her daughter’s graduate school, the terms were tough. In order to get her mother’s money, Kelly had to give up her right to be the woman’s heir, which was written in her mother’s will.
But life always found a way to make things right. Kelly worked hard to fix her life, get a degree in accounting, and find a well-paying job. Kelly’s dad, who used to be married to the woman, had a string of bad luck, including losing his job and getting involved in a lawsuit. He quickly spent all of his money, including the money that was supposed to pay for Kelly’s college.
Kelly had a change of heart after becoming financially independent and learning more about how complicated life is. She told her mother she wanted to get back in touch with her. She couldn’t help but wonder if her sudden change of heart was because she was having money problems, especially since Kelly’s tuition wasn’t guaranteed anymore.
While the woman agreed to pay for her daughter’s graduate school costs, Kelly had to give up her right to an inheritance as set out in her mother’s will. The woman named her goddaughter Laura as the main person who would get her money. She had been like a daughter to her over the years.
It’s no surprise that this choice has caused a family fight. Different family members disagree on whether the woman was right to choose Laura as her heir over her biological daughter, who only seemed interested in getting back together when she was having money problems.
