When this Teen Daughter Leaves Mother in Favor of Cheating Father

The course of one woman’s life took a sharp turn when she entered into marriage with a wealthy man, believing he would be a blessing to her family. Sharing her story on Reddit, she recounted his acts of generosity, from lavishing expensive gifts upon her parents to settling her sister’s credit card debts and securing a lucrative job for her brother at a prestigious firm. Despite his infidelity, her husband remained faithful to her, garnering admiration from her in-laws for his unwavering support during tough times.

The first crack in their marriage surfaced soon after the birth of their daughter, Kelly. Faced with the dileMMA of leaving her husband, she sought counsel from loved ones, yet found herself unable to take decisive action, convincing herself that his infidelity stemmed from her perceived inadequacies as a wife during pregnancy. The second instance of betrayal occurred when Kelly was around 12 years old, prompting her mother to seriously consider divorce.

Despite her resolve to end the marriage, familial pressures, fueled by a desire to avoid Scandal, weighed heavily against her. Reluctantly, she proceeded with the divorce, though custody battles left her without Kelly by her side, despite receiving alimony and a fair settlement.

Painted as the antagonist by her in-laws and parents, she faced an uphill battle to maintain a connection with her daughter. Only her steadfast friend Tina provided solace and support through the ordeal, serving as both confidante and anchor during tumultuous times.

Though she extended financial support for Kelly’s Education, the rift between mother and daughter persisted, exacerbated by stringent conditions outlined in her will. Kelly, however, forged her own path, pursuing an accounting degree and a successful career, distancing herself from her mother’s inheritance to assert her independence.

Life, however, has a way of reshuffling the deck. Kelly, now financially self-reliant, sought to mend bridges with her mother, especially as her father’s fortunes dwindled, leaving her college fund depleted. This unexpected turn of events led to a tentative reconciliation, with Kelly relinquishing her claim to her mother’s estate in exchange for support for her graduate studies.

In a twist of fate, Laura, the woman’s goddaughter, emerged as the primary beneficiary in her will, sparking familial discord and bitterness over the perceived injustice.

MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME NOT TO MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF AFTER I FULFILLED THE DREAM OF MY LIFE

I’m 65. Growing up, I was always under strict rules—first from my parents and then from an abusive husband. But now, finally single with my kids all grown up, I decided it was time to do something just for me. I’ve always dreamt of adding a bit of brightness to my life, so I dyed my hair pink, feeling like I’m embracing the winter of my life with some warmth.

But the moment my daughter saw me, she was furious. She yelled, telling me I looked ridiculous and that I should stay OUT OF SIGHT.

Is it really too much? I’ve never felt so happy and free. But maybe she’s right, and I should act my age instead.
