My father kicked me out for his 35-year-old stepson who wanted my room, but karma struck back

By

-

I was deep into my books at the university library when my phone rang. It was my father. I could sense something wasn’t right because he never called me to chat. “Come home right away,” he said, and before I had the chance to ask what was going on, he hung up on me.

I was tense and hurried towards my car while my books kept slipping from my hands.

Before I knew, I was at my dad’s doorstep, wondering what was so urgent.

He opened the door and as I entered I saw my stepmom, Linda, and her son, Jacob sitting on the couch.

“Listen Emma,” my father started speaking. “Jacob needs a place to stay for a while and since his old room is now Linda’s office, he’ll be taking your room.”

His words came as a shock to me. “But dad, where would I stay then?”

“You are a smart girl, Emma, you can live on the campus. You’ll figure something out.”

But no, I couldn’t live on campus full-time because I had to study and I barely found time for my part-job that was supposed to help me save up some money for the following semester. But my dad didn’t seem to care.

He was more concerned for his 35-year-old stepson who had wasted every chance ever given to him by my dad and my step-mom.

Devastated but determined to navigate throughout the rough period that followed, I found another job. I spent my days working and studied during the nights. I could barely stand on my feet, but I knew I needed to show everyone that I would succeed.

Over time, I managed to save up some money and rented a small apartment at the outskirts of the city. I was incredibly proud of myself.

One day, as I was getting ready for university, I got a call from my stepmom. She sounded worried and as though she was crying. “Emma, please come home, we lost the house.”

She didn’t tell me any details, but I could sense Jacob was behind whatever happened to my parents’ home.

And I was right. When I arrived, a scene of wreckage unfolded in front of my eyes. The house burnt down and firefighters were trying to save whatever belongings they could.

My father, with tears rolling down his eyes, said he was sorry for taking my room from me. If hadn’t done it, none of this would have happened.

It turned out Jacob threw a party while my dad and Linda were at the lake and one of his friends was smoking and accidentally set the curtains on fire.

“You made your choices, dad,” I said. But still, I felt sorry for him and Linda who begged me to help them as they dealt with the aftermath of the fire and worked out the insurance and rebuilding plans.

Part of me wanted to let them deal with the mess they created themselves, but another part knew I needed to help them.

My apartment was small, but it was all I could offer and we managed to find a rhythm. I told my dad and Linda that I wanted to be treated with the respect I deserved.

On the weekends, the three of us went at the site and saw the new house being built brick by brick, as slowly and as steadily as our relationship.

I overheard my MIL saying, ‘She won’t find out who you really are’ while babysitting my son

By

Monica Pop

-

From the moment my son Ethan was welcomed into the world, my MIL showed affection towards him, but that affection could easily be mistaken with obsession.

She convinced me she could take care of him better than I could because I was an inexperienced new mom. I didn’t think much about it and I didn’t get mad because I knew she loved him and wanted to spend as much time with him as possible.

Over time, however, her comments started bothering me. She criticized the way I fed him and kept repeating that he looked exactly like her son.

One day, she said Ethan resembled someone she had known forever. These words gave me chills, but I tried not to think about what she had to say.

When I was about to return to work and said I needed to hire a babysitter, my husband’s mom offered to babysit him. Although I felt uneasy, I still agreed because I knew that beside her awkward behavior around him, she loved him.

One day, I finished work earlier than usual and decided to buy some cookies and go home to my MIL, Margaret, and Ethan.

As I approached the nursery, I saw her cradling him in the rocking chair. But just as I was about to greet them, I heard her saying, “Don’t worry… She won’t find out who you really are.”

I felt chills going down my spine. What was she talking about?

“You’ll always be safe with me,” she continued. “I won’t let her ruin this. She doesn’t know, and she never will.”

“Margaret,” I said. “What have you just said?”

“Oh, I was just talking to Ethan,” she answered, aware I heard her words.

“What do you mean I won’t know who he really is? Tell me right away.”

Margaret felt overwhelmed. Realizing I wouldn’t let go, she reached to her purse and handed me an old photo of two newborn babies wrapped in matching blankets.

“Who are these babies, Margaret,” I asked in confusion.

It was then that my MIL told me my husband had a twin brother who only lived for three days.

The photo showed my husband, Peter, and his late twin brother James.

“But Peter never told me he had a brother,” I said. “That’s because he doesn’t know that. I didn’t want him to live with that pain,” Margaret said.

She believed Ethan was her late son James. She claimed he came to her again and asked me not to take that from her.

“You don’t understand. I lost James. And now, I have him back,” she said.

I told her her relationship with my son wasn’t a healthy one, but she wouldn’t listen.

Not knowing what to do, I asked her to leave and told Peter everything that night.

He was shocked. It was the first time he heard he had a twin brother. We both agreed that Margaret needed professional help.

The next day, we invited her over and told her she needed to start seeing a therapist if she ever wanted to be around Ethan again.

Both Peter and I were aware that my MIL carried her grief in her heart for so long.

“When I look at Ethan, I see James. I can’t help it. It’s like… it’s like he’s back,” she said, but agreed to start teraphy.

It took some time before Margaret was able to face her issue. The weight she carried began to lift, and she slowly saw Ethan for who he truly was.

Eventually, I was confident with leaving Ethan with her.

Margaret thanked me for giving her a chance to heal.

How I lost my husband for 17 years and found him again

By

Monica Pop

-

My husband and I were high-school sweethearts. We married young and he was my whole world. But one day, after a trip to the mountains, he simply vanished.

I first met Patrick on the first day of high-school. My family moved places and I was the new girl in the neighborhood.

As I walked towards the classroom, some girls started teasing me, but he stood up for me and offered to walk me to math class.

I felt like it was love at first sight, and I somehow sensed he felt the same.

At 18, we tied the knot, and soon after, I fell pregnant with our baby daughter. Shortly after giving birth, he enlisted in the army and was deployed to a foreign country. At 22, he returned home and life felt complete again.

One day, as we had breakfast together, he said some of his friends asked him to go mountain hiking with them. He was eager to spend some time outdoors, so I told him she should go and have some fun, not assuming that he wouldn’t return in the next 17 years.

That day felt like an eternity as hours passed by and my husband hadn’t returned.

The following day, the police started an extensive search. Days turned into weeks, but there was no sign of Patrick.

My world collapsed. I had no idea if he was alive or not, but I never lost hope.

Authorities said they believed there was an avalanche that claimed Patrick’s life, but without a body it was something I couldn’t accept as a reality.

Fifteen years after Patrick went missing, I met someone. Toni was a kind man who knew that my husband had been missing.

At the time, I still felt like I wasn’t ready to start anything with him, but over time we bonded and started dating. We even welcomed a son together but we didn’t marry.

Eventually, Toni proposed and we were about to marry at a small ceremony in the backyard of my home with only a few family and friends in attendance. My daughter was glad for me because she believed it was about time that I moved on with my life.

At those moments, I thought of Patrick. I still missed him dearly.

The ceremony was about to start when a police car parked in front of the house. From the distance, I saw a familiar face at the back seat. Tiny, pale, and aged, I realized the man was my Patrick.

He got out of the car but was unstable and had a hard time moving. I rushed towards him and took him by the hand. As everyone starred at us, I took him inside the house to avoid people confusing him even further.

During those 17 years, my husband lived with another woman in her cabin in the woods, isolated from the rest of the world.

He lost his memory after a fall and she convinced him he was her husband. Then, one day, his memory returned and he became aware he had a wife and a daughter.

I was by Patrick’s side throughout his doctors’ visits, physical therapy, and counseling.

He was still the man I was in love with and Toni knew that, so he set me free and I rebuilt my life with my husband.

Today, at 68, we are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.

My dad’s revelation about my wife after his coma changed everything

By

Monica Pop

-

My dad and my wife never got along, but when he had an accident and fell into coma, she always accompanied me to the hospital. We would bring flowers and would spend hours talking to him, hoping he could hear us.

It wasn’t just my wife and I who visited dad. My mom, my daughter, and my brother were also there.

We prayed for his recovery because he was our rock, the most important person in our lives, and someone we could always rely on no matter how hard things got.

Weeks passed by, and just as we started losing hope that he would ever come back, he squeezed my mom’s hand.

It was a good sign and the first step towards his full recovery.

Eventually, he woke up from coma.

We couldn’t be prouder of the fighter he was.

Once he was able to speak, although slowly and not understandably at first, we were eager to learn what he had seen while he wasn’t awake. With a quiet voice, he said, “Your wife was here,” and looked straight at Leah, my wife.

She seemed to freeze. It was as though she wasn’t expecting my dad to reveal something like that.

“I know that dad,” I said. “She was always here with me.”

“No,” my dad barely uttered. “She was here with Jared.”

Jared was my brother, and as per my dad’s words, while was in coma my wife and my brother visited him together, and I was not aware about that.

Leah opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say anything. “I…” she said.

Jared looked like he was in pain as he touched the back of his neck. He tried making a joke in order to change the conversation, but no one laughed.

“What is going on,” I asked as I turned to Leah.

Leah said that she felt the urge to speak to my father, hoping he could hear her and Jared only helped her make things right with him following years of estrangement. She regretted all the arguments she had with my dad, and now that he was in coma, she was afraid she wouldn’t have a chance to say sorry.

Jared confirmed her story.

My dad looked at me and said, “Son, there is more to the story…”

I begged him to tell me everything, and he said Leah really tried to bond with him. She spoke to him about football and read sports magazines to him. She shared aspects of her personal life and repeated many times how sorry she was for the feuds.

My dad then said that he saw a side of Leah he never knew existed.

I was relieved.

My family was finally in the place it was always meant to be.

‘Daddy has a picture of her:’ Our daughter yelled during family dinner

By

Monica Pop

-

A long lost connection was restored during what seemed to be an ordinary family dinner when my daughter revealed that her dad had a picture of her new teacher in his drawer.

The new town where we moved recently is a picturesque place; the one you believe only exists in the movies. We bought a nice home and our children seemed to settle in perfectly.

Our seven-year-old daughter Lily, who wouldn’t stop talking about her new school, shared plenty of stories about her newly-made friends. One night, during dinner time, she mentioned her mathematics teacher, Mrs. Willis. “She’s great,” Lily said, “and dad has a picture of her in his office’s drawer.”

Lily then continued eating her ice-cream with a delight on her face, but her words filled the place with awkward silence. Not wanting to ruin the dessert, I turned to my husband, Jim, and asked him if he would be kind enough to show me that picture.

He was as confused as I was and asked Lily about the picture. She said she would show it to us herself once she finished with her favorite dessert.

Jim barely spoke a word.

Following dinner, the three of us went to Jim’s home office and Lily pulled the framed photo of a woman I had never seen before. She handed it to Jim and he asked, “Is this your teacher!?”

Lily said, yes. That was Mrs. Willis, but why did Jim have a picture of her?

I didn’t say anything, letting him start a conversation. Once Lily was asleep, he broke down in tears and asked me if I remember that he was adopted and that he and his little sister were separated when they were just five and four.

I said sure. How could I forget.

Jim then told me that he had been doing a research on his sister’s adoption, trying to find her all those years, and he believed the woman on the photo was her. He found the picture in a magazine, when he stumbled upon an article about mathematics competition. There were similarities in his and that woman’s life stories.

I encouraged him to talk to her, and although Jim was hesitant because he was afraid of heartbreak, he still decided that we go to the school.

Once there, we asked to talk to Mrs. Willis. She was a kind woman who greeted us and asked if there was something she could do for us, reminding us that her next class was starting in a matter of minutes.

“I think you are my sister,” Jim said out of the blue. “Are you adopted?” he asked.

Mrs. Willis was confused. She said she was adopted, but she didn’t remember having a brother. The only thing she remembered from the time she was four was a raggedy teddy bear and her birth certificate.

“When were you born,” Jim asked, hoping the date would ring a bell.

Mrs. Willis shared her birth date and her place of birth, and Jim knew she was his long-lost sister.

Our conversation was interrupted by the school bell. Confused and lost for words, Mrs. Willis excused herself and entered one of the classrooms.

The following day, she contacted Jim and apologized for leaving. She talked to her adoptive parents and they told her that she indeed had a brother, giving her a picture of the two when they were still very young. Jim had the same picture. It was among his belongings when he was welcomed into the new family.

It was the start of a restored connection, a bond that has been growing stronger and stronger with each passing day.

When we told Lily that her new teacher was her aunt, she was over the moon. In the days to come, she met her cousins and our family grew bigger in the most unexpected way possible.

Father conducts DNA analysis on son due to lack of resemblance, wife gathers family for results reveal

By

Monica Pop

-

Recounting her five-year relationship with her husband, one woman took to Reddit to share her story and the events that led her to hesitate between staying in the marriage or starting over as a single mother of a son.

From the moment their precious baby boy was born, her husband’s mother kept making comments about the child’s appearance, mentioning over and over again that the little one didn’t resemble her son.

Despite the woman’s efforts to stay collected, her husband’s failure to defend her and her son against his mother’s pushy behavior made her feel devastated.

“For a while now [my MIL] has been making comments about how my son doesn’t look like my husband when he was a toddler. Basically accusing me of sleeping around. This, rightfully so upset me,” the woman wrote on the platform.

Even though she was in emotional turmoil and fiercely denying the accusations, the woman’s husband remained passive, failing to stand for her. His lack of action and support caused a rift between them, leading her to distance herself emotionally because she didn’t feel respected.

The breaking point came when he mentioned he wanted a DNA test. It wasn’t that he suspected the child was his but he wanted to please his mother. This decision came out of the blue and shattered the woman’s heart into a million pieces. She couldn’t believe the audacity of her husband’s request but she still agreed to do the test.

However, while they awaited the results, she was already determined to leave her husband because his request was an outrageous insult to her integrity. She sought legal advice and searched for a new home for herself and her son.

The DNA test results, expected in just a few days, promised to provide confirmation, and she intended to pair them with divorce papers.

She didn’t make this decision just to protect herself and her integrity, but also to protect her son from a future overshadowed by resentment. Having experienced a toxic upbringing when she was a child herself, the woman was determined not to let her son go through the same and be part of a dysfunctional household.

When the results finally came and showed that her child was her husband’s, she told him and his family that their marriage was over. It was a huge slap in the face for every of them, but she believed they didn’t deserve anything less.

The love letter from my husband that ended our marriage

By

Monica Pop

-

Doing the laundry was solely my chore, but what I never expected was to face something larger than stains – a letter that ruined my marriage.

It was a night like any other. I prepared dinner, did the dishes, and went to the laundry room. It was something that I secretly enjoyed. My minutes of silence while I was sorting the clothes. However, the night turned into a nightmare when I found a handwritten letter in my husband’s laundry. It was an elegantly folded letter that slipped from between the folds and fall on the floor.

When I opened it, I recognized my husband’s handwriting, but the words written in that piece of paper weren’t meant for me.

“Happy anniversary, babe! These 7 years have been the best of my life! Meet me at Obélix on Wednesday night, 8 p.m. Be in red.” The problem was that David and I had been married for eighteen years.

My mind raced at the thought of him having another woman in his life.

All of a sudden, I remembered all the late comings, his occasional stays at hotels for the purpose of work, and his believable excuses.

The truth was that I never suspected he could be cheating on me. I trusted him with all my heart.

The following day I went to see if the letter was still there, but it was nowhere to be seen.

Not knowing what to do, I called my mother and asked her for advice. She said I needed to be bold and confront him. But I had another plan. That evening, when he told me he was staying late at work but was instead meeting his other wife, I hired a nanny, put on the red dress David bought me a couple of years ago, which still fit perfectly, and headed towards the fancy restaurant.

David hadn’t taken me out to such an exclusive place in years, saying we should be saving money.

When I entered, I noticed a woman in red, assuming she was my husband’s other wife.

I sat on the next table, my back facing her.

When David entered, he had a huge smile on his face. He was happy to see the woman he wrote that letter to.

It took some time before I stood up and said “hi” to my husband.

His face went pale.

The woman had no idea I was his wife. He told her we were separated but were getting along for the sake of our children. She was confused as he was by my presence.

However, what I couldn’t understand how she never asked to meet me or David’s children if they dated for that long. Nothing about their relationship made sense to me.

Before he could say a word, I left the restaurant and told him he was some explaining to do to his two daughters because I wasn’t planning on doing it myself.

Our marriage broke over that letter he sent to the other woman. At first, I was bitter, but later I was relieved.
