My Daughter’s Unusual Actions Revealed the Shocking Truth About My Husband
We received a desperate letter from our reader, Angela, 34. Her situation is so complicated that we couldn’t predict how her story would end until the very last lines. Now, she’s seeking support from our readers during this difficult time in her life.
Angela wrote us an emotional letter.
“Hi! I’m reaching out in hopes that you and your readers can help me with a tough family situation. My husband Alan and I have been married for 10 years, and we have a 5-year-old daughter, Emily. Up until recently, I thought I was living a dream life. Alan and I both have successful careers—I’m growing my business, and he’s a CEO at a major law firm. We absolutely adore Emily and have always tried to give her the best life. We never had any trust issues, and I genuinely believed I knew everything about my husband. Turns out, I was so wrong!”
Emily is a very calm girl, but one episode of her misbehavior made her mom worried.
“Emily has always been a very well-behaved little girl. We rarely dealt with tantrums or misbehavior, which is why I was beyond shocked when she suddenly started acting out of character.
It happened two weeks ago when we were out for a walk. Out of nowhere, Emily began crying and pointing at a woman casually walking by. To my utter disbelief, this woman looked over, recognized Emily immediately, and smiled warmly. Then, she called out to my daughter, saying, ’Emily, sweetheart, I missed you so much!’
I was speechless. The woman only seemed to notice me after that, and by then, Emily had stopped crying and was happily hugging her, calling her ’Auntie Kelly.’ My daughter seemed overjoyed to see her. But here’s the strangest part—I had never seen this woman before in my life. I tried asking how she knew Emily and why my daughter seemed to adore her, but the woman just smiled, avoided my questions, and hurried away.”
Angela was dumbfounded by this situation, and she wanted to know what was going on.
“I kept asking Emily who Auntie Kelly was, but the only response I got was, ‘Auntie Kelly and Dad gave me lots of presents. I love Auntie Kelly so much!’
That’s when it clicked—this woman was somehow linked to my husband. She had been spending time with our daughter, and clearly, they’d met on multiple occasions. They had a connection that I was completely unaware of, and I had no idea what role she played in my child’s life. I felt betrayed and completely in the dark.
Naturally, I confronted my husband right away. My first thought was that he’d been unfaithful and that Auntie Kelly was his mistress. But when the truth finally came out, it was even worse than I could have imagined.”
Alan was forced to uncover his dark secret to his wife.
“Alan was furious about the accidental encounter. He clearly didn’t want to explain anything, but he had no choice since I was enraged that our child was involved. I had every right to know who Kelly was.
Alan finally admitted that Kelly was his ex-girlfriend. They dated for two years and broke up just before he met me. At the time of their breakup, Kelly was pregnant, but due to the stress of their separation, she tragically lost the baby. It was a girl, and she had planned to name her Emily.
Alan confessed that he’d been carrying the weight of guilt ever since. When our daughter was born, he insisted on naming her Emily, as a tribute to the daughter he lost with Kelly. But what shocked me most was that for years, Kelly had been seeing our daughter. Since Emily turned one, Alan had secretly taken her to meet Kelly, who spent time with her as if she were her own child.
The whole thing makes me feel sick. I told Alan to pack his things and leave the house immediately. He argued, saying he had done nothing wrong, that it was all in the past. But the thought of it disgusts me, and I want Alan out of my life—and Emily’s, too. Am I overreacting?”
Here’s the story of another woman, which is just as outrageous. Her husband’s mistress showed up at her door with a child in her arms.
