I’m Vanessa, 60, and I can’t help but share a heartbreaking saga that unfolded at my son’s wedding. I’m writing this with a heavy heart, so brace yourselves for a wild ride.
For three years, my son’s fiancée, Rachel, and I were like the dynamic duo of future in-laws. We had this special connection, sharing long talks, cooking up a storm, hitting the shops together, and creating unforgettable Thanksgiving and Christmas memories.
It felt like we were building a bridge between us, laying a foundation for a future filled with love and trust. There was only one issue that bothered me: she talked very little about her past. She said she was an orphan since the age of 10 and then nothing until she turned 25. But I thought it was too painful for her to discuss, so I didn’t insist on it.
What Shattered the Woman’s Happy Family?
Here’s where it gets nasty. Just days before the wedding, I get this call that flips my world upside down. Turns out, Rachel’s been living a double life, complete with a second family and a kid.
Why? Because she got sick of being broke and bailed on her previous boyfriend and their child. God, she abandoned her own kid. I couldn’t grasp it. Her ex’s words echoed in my mind — she vowed never to be with such a loser as the father of her kid and to find someone who could get anything she wished and whom she could control, just like my son, who worships her.
