When I married a surgeon, I didn’t expect our family life to suffer, but my husband’s demanding job took precedence over our daughters. My father stepped in as the support we needed, revealing cracks in our marriage and leading to unexpected changes.
My husband, David, neglected family responsibilities, thinking his job was enough to be a good father and husband. He became irritable at home, and my father took on the parenting role, forming a close bond with our daughters. David resented this and refused to support my dad, wanting him out of our lives.
One day, David came home early and saw our daughters playing with my father. They ignored him and later showed him drawings that excluded him, which angered him. He blamed my father for their lack of affection and demanded he leave, threatening to cut him out of their lives.
This confrontation made me realize our marriage couldn’t continue. I moved out with our daughters and my father. Despite the heartbreak, I am grateful my children have a loving grandfather. Now, I’m considering divorce to give them a peaceful home.
Separately, I discovered my husband was cheating with our son’s girlfriend, Amy. I found inappropriate messages and pictures on his phone, revealing his betrayal. This discovery shattered me, making me regret our marriage.
Now, I’m navigating the fallout, trying to protect my children and rebuild our lives.
Brilliant girl!
A little girl tells her mom: “Mommy, a funny lady came to visit while you were at work”. Mommy replies: “Not right now. Let’s wait for Daddy to come home”. So they wait, and when Daddy arrives, Mommy asks: “Okay, sweetheart, what were you saying about Daddy and the funny lady?”
Daddy starts to speak, but Mommy cuts him off. “You be quiet. I’ll talk to my lawyer in the morning. Go ahead, dear.” The little girl continues: “Daddy told me to stay downstairs while he and the lady went upstairs, but I followed them without him knowing. I saw them hugging and laughing at the top of the stairs.
Then they went into your bedroom and closed the door, but I peeked through the keyhole”. “Good job, sweetie”, Mommy says with a smile. “What did you see?” “I saw them hugging and laughing some more.”
“And then what happened?” Mommy asks. The little girl answers proudly: “Then they did what you and Uncle Jack did last summer when Daddy went to Vancouver!”
