My son cheated on his wife, Tina, filed for divorce, and left her with a little baby. He said, “Well, she’s great, but I deserve someone better.” It broke my heart. Tina had been part of our family for years. She’s kind, hardworking, and a wonderful mother. I tried to reason with my son, but he wouldn’t listen. A few months later, he invited me to his second wedding. I went, but my heart wasn’t in it. I only attended because I didn’t want to completely lose my son, though deep down, I was disappointed by his choices. Two weeks later, there was a knock on Tina’s door.
When she opened it, she was shocked to see my son’s new wife standing there, holding a suitcase and looking devastated. “I… I didn’t know where else to go,” the young woman said, tears streaming down her face. Tina was confused. “What happened?” Through sobs, she explained that my son had been dishonest with her too. He had made promises, painted a perfect picture of life together, and then, soon after the wedding, started showing his true colors controlling, selfish, and cold.
