It wasn’t just my mother-in-law and my husband in the house. A young woman was standing next to my husband, holding a baby in her arms.
Later, the true horror became clear. My mother-in-law, who had disliked me from the first day and had never accepted me as a daughter-in-law, had been trying all this time to persuade my son to leave me and marry the neighbor’s daughter. And in the end, she got her way.
It turned out they had secretly married, and my husband still couldn’t bring himself to leave me. Moreover, they already had a two-month-old child.
All this time, my husband lived with both families, visiting them every day under the guise of caring for his mother. He lied to me deliberately, day after day, under pressure from his mother-in-law and for the sake of his own comfort.
That same day, I left him. A short time later, I filed for divorce and have never regretted my decision.
