Exposing your personal life on the social media for the sake of sharing a life lesson might be a difficult decision to make, but TikTok user @tattylomas did exactly that and spoke of how she handled her husband’s infidelity and how she reacted witnessing him ruining their marriage and their family and later regretting it.

She started her story explaining that she and her now ex-husband were high-school sweethearts. She knew he was the one the moment she laid eyes on him years ago. The two proceeded to marry and welcome three children together. But one day out of the blue he told her that there was someone else in his life and that he wanted a divorce.

The TikToker felt like her entire world collapsed. She couldn’t understand how he could wrack their family for a woman he only knew for three months. But he was determined to start his life over claiming he was in love with her and deserved to be happy.

She did all in her power to prevent him from leaving her and the children, but to no avail.

It was then that she decided to put her brave face on and be strong for her kids.

They proceeded with the divorce and she got to keep the house which meant the world to her because they bought it from her grandmother, but ended paying him a hefty payout.

Once everything was over, the TikToker could finally get over her heartbreak. But then, she got a text from her ex telling her he was sorry and he wanted to get back to her. For this woman, that wasn’t an option. After everything he did, she couldn’t possibly take him back, not ever.

In fact, she learned that the woman her husband left her for was a horrible person who crashed his car while driving drunk.

Some time later, the TikToker met someone knew through her sister who was also divorced. She and this new man didn’t plan on getting married, but they got involved in a meaningful relationship.

The woman continued to express how delighted she was to watch her ex-husband suffer the consequences of his actions. “Call me evil or whatever, but he brought all of this on himself,” she added.

At the end of the video, she addressed her husband directly, saying, “So if you are watching this, enjoy your shabby one-bedroom apartment and her broken-down car. Oh, and my new partner and I will think of you on our vacation in Hawaii. I know Hawaii was the place you always wanted to go. Maybe I will send you a postcard.”

 “SERVES HIM RIGHT!!!” someone commented. “YES GURL U GOOOO,”another added.

One viewer suggested, “GIRL SEND HIM THAT POSTCARD BUT FILL IT W PICS OF YOU AND YOUR NEW MAN.”

She said she didn’t want to indulge in any hard revenge antics because watching her ex regret his actions was enough revenge for her.

Never, not even in her wildest dreams, did Tara assume that the night shift at the gas station during a stormy night would change her life forever. As she was contemplating her life choices and pondered over the thought that she could graduate from the university and became a journalist had it not been for the troubles that stood on her way and her ailing mother she needed to care for, Tara heard a voice say, “Please, oh please…”

As she was seated behind the counter, Tara quickly stood up and noticed an elderly woman all covered in dirt, oil, and mud.

“Ma’am?” Tara gasped. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you come in!”

“Please,” the woman kept saying, “I need your help…”

“Oh I’ll just bet you do!” a masculine voice interrupted the scared lady. It was Tara’s boss, Mr. Anderson, the service station’s night manager who probably heard the elderly lady entering the store from the office at the back where he spent the nights going through a bunch of dubious sites.

“I’ve had enough of you derelicts walking in cadging hot food and coffee every time it rains.” Mr. Anderson shouted. “Get out!”

“Please,” the woman said in a calmer voice, “I need help, my phone is smashed…”

“Help?” sneered Mr. Anderson. “Did you drive here? Do you need gas? Or motor oil? Do you have money or a credit card?”

“No,” the woman said. “You don’t understand…”

“I understand you just fine,” the manager shouted. “Get out! No car and no money, you get nothing!”

Putting her head into her shaking hands, the woman explained, “My husband and I had a car accident, he’s lying unconscious on the road…All I ask is that you make a phone call!”

Tara said she would call the emergency services, but as she tried dialing 911, she noticed the lines weren’t working, likely because of the bad weather.

“I’m sorry,” Tara said to the woman. “But the storm probably took down the phone lines and the cell tower. Where did you crash?”

But all the lady could mutter was, “My poor John, oh my poor John…”

Tara came around the counter and assured the lady that her husband would arrive to the hospital, one way or another. She then asked her for the exact location of the crash and offered to drive her there.

“Come on, Ma’am, I’ll drive you to him. We’ll take him to the hospital,” Tara said. But that angered the manager who threatened Tara to fire her if she leaves. “Go ahead, fire me. But I won’t leave a man dying by the roadside,” Tara said.

“Thank you, my dear,” cried the woman. “My husband is an influential man, you won’t regret this.”

“No matter who your husband is, I won’t regret it, Ma’am,” said Tara as she settled the woman into her car and buckled her seat belt. “My mother always taught us to help whenever we could, no matter who it is.”

When they arrived at the scene of the crash, Tara noticed John. He was covered with a blanket and he could barely keep his eyes open. “I’m here, darling, I found help!”his wife assured him.

Tara did as she promised. She took both the lady and her husband to the hospital and decided to take a seat in the waiting room just to make sure they were both fine.

As she was waiting, a tall young doctor came over and asked if she had been the one who’d brought the older couple over. “Yes,” Tara said. “Are they alright?”

“Thanks to you!” the doctor answered with a smile. “Mrs. Smythe told me what you did. Her husband had internal bleeding, and another half an hour would have been too late. We’re also treating Mrs. Smythe for shock and hypothermia.”

“Mrs. Smythe, that’s the lady’s name?” asked Tara. “And they are going to be alright?”

“Yes, you saved their lives,” said the doctor, casting Tara an admiring look. “You’re a hero!”

“No,” said Tara. “Mrs. Smythe is the hero. She walked five miles in the rain to get help for her husband, and she never gave up!”

It turned out that Mr. Smythe was the owner of the local TV station. Once they recuperated, the station told the story of Tara’s heroic deed, and they even mentioned Mr. Anderson, the manager, who was later fired because he cast a bad light on the company.

As of Tara, she got a job as a reporter after Mrs. Smythe learned she was forced to drop her journalism studies.

Now Tara does the job that she had always wanted to do. On top of that, she’s now dating the tall doctor she met during the stormy night.

Alvin was over the moon to finally be marrying Carol, the love of his life. He was aware her parents weren’t fond of him because they believed he wasn’t the right man for her, but the two were soulmates and wouldn’t let anyone stand between them, or at least they thought so.

On the day of their wedding Alvin was running a bit late because he had received the news that no one from his family would be attending the wedding, and somehow, he lost himself in the sadness of that thought.

When he finally arrived at the church, he stumbled upon a sight that turned his life upside down. Carol was marrying another man. He couldn’t believe his eyes and froze for a second. As he was gathering the strength to shout, Carol’s mother, Andrea, stood in front of him and punched him in the chest.

“Alvin, leave now. This is what’s best for Carol. She deserves a better life than what you can give her, and that man is perfect for her. Go away and never come back,” Andrea stated, gesturing with her finger for him to leave entirely.

He wanted to protest, but at that moment, he saw Carol putting a ring on the man’s finger.

Devastated and shocked, Alvin left the church and got inside his car. He couldn’t help but wonder how could Carol do such a thing.

Years passed by and Alvin moved on with his life, but he never forgot Carol.

One day, he decided to learn if Carol had a good life without him and whether she had everything the two dreamed of having, a beautiful family, many children, and a nice house.

All he needed in order to learn all that was a single search on Facebook.

He found her profile and went through her photos. She had plenty of photos from a girl, who was probably her daughter, some photos of her parents, but not a single photo of her husband. Could she be divorced, Alvin kept asking himself.

In order to clear his doubts, he decided to message Carol. To his surprise, she responded right away and they decided to meet at the park near her home.

The meeting brought back many memories. Seeing Carol after so much time was a reminder for Alvin that he had never forgot her. He loved her as he had all those years ago despite the fact she had left him for another man on their wedding day.

“Do you want to sit down?” he finally asked when she arrived, and she nodded eagerly. “Ok. I guess we should get down to brass tacks. I wanted to meet you because I wanted to find out what happened with us in the past.”

“What do you mean?” she turned to him with a frown.

“Well, when I got to the church, you were marrying someone else,” Alvin replied, looking at her weirdly. “Why did you do that?”

“You got to the church?” Carol asked in confusion.

Alvin shook his head as he was now getting confused too. “What are you talking about? Of course, I got to the church. It was our wedding. I was running a little late, but I got there, and you were exchanging rings with another man.”

“You… you were there?” Carol kept repeating over and over again.

“What are you saying, Carol?”

“I thought you had left me forever!” she wailed, and tears gathered in her eyes.

“What?” he said in dismay.

“My mom told me you had run away, and no one could find you. I was so angry… I couldn’t think. I was heartbroken too, and when she suggested marrying Colin…. I just jumped on it. I didn’t want to suffer the humiliation of being left at the altar,” she explained through small sobs.

“That makes no sense, Carol!” he yelled at her, anger rising once again. “Why didn’t you try to call me? I would’ve explained that I was running late because I had just gotten a message that no one in my family was coming.”

At that moment, Carol placed her head between her hands and couldn’t stop tears from running down her face.

Once she pulled herself together she explained that her marriage only lasted for a year and that she had a 10-year-old girl named Veronica. Her ex-husband remarried but they were co-parenting.

They ended their meeting agreeing to see each other again.

Furious, Carol went home and had a massive fight with her parents. They kept asking for her forgiveness and although she forgave them, Carol moved out of their home a week later.

She and Alvin continued seeing each other and decided to continue from their they stopped years ago. Veronica accepted Alvin as her stepfather and even helped him propose to her mom and was a maid of honor at their wedding.

This story is a reminder that true love always finds the way.

Most parents would give their entire world for the well-being of their children, but sadly, not every child gets to live in a loving home and experience affection, care, and love. Some are neglected and even abused by those who are supposed to provide for them and treat them as jewels.

Four people took to Reddit to tell their life stories and share how beside the injustice and the horrible treatment by their parents they still managed to stand on their feet and turn their lives around. As of their moms and dads, they got what they deserved at the end.

Read their stories below.

Father Needs Son’s Help after Bringing Him up in an Abusive Childhood

In 2019, an individual who identified as Asian turned to Reddit’s “AITA” forum to share a narrative. Recounting his upbringing, the man revealed that his father’s treatment during his childhood was marked by being frequently kicked out of his home.

The family’s financial struggles led them to reside in a subpar townhouse in an unfavorable part of town. Following the common stereotype associated with Asian fathers, the narrator’s dad exhibited extreme strictness regarding academic performance.

If the original poster (OP) received a grade below 70, was tardy to class, or failed to adhere to a curfew, his father’s response was consistent: eviction from the house. Despite his pleas and appeals, he would find himself relegated outdoors with only a sleeping bag, regardless of the weather conditions — rain or snow.

This pattern continued until the age of 16 when a friend extended the courtesy of allowing OP to stay overnight. Each time he was expelled, he would eventually return, apologize, and be permitted to re-enter the home, with him revealing: “[My father] kicked me out at 18 and I didn’t come back home.”

Instead, he opted to stay with a friend and engaged in consistent employment to finance his education. From that day onward, he stopped communicating with his father. Finally, at the age of 29, he found marital bliss with a child on the way.

OP’s mother passed away at the time—a poignant event that brought about a series of unexpected encounters. Amid the atmosphere of mourning and reflection, his father made an appearance at his son’s home, bearing the weight of past grievances. It appeared to be an attempt at reconciliation for the turbulent upbringing that had marked OP’s formative years.

Despite initial perceptions of genuineness, a lingering skepticism arose because OP’s dad had faced his own share of hardships. The closure of his convenience store seven years prior and the deterioration of his pension painted a complex backdrop to the situation.

In a moment that demanded honesty and clarity, the Redditor took the initiative to question his father’s motives for his visit. With a tone of desperation, his dad admitted his intentions—he sought a place to stay. OP, perhaps burdened by a mix of emotions from the past and the present, retreated momentarily into the house.

Upon returning, a sleeping bag was flung unceremoniously onto the lawn—an act loaded with the history of past rejections and a symbol of his dad’s actions. An essential facet of the narrative was inadvertently omitted in the initial retelling. Over time, the father had sought to make amends through sporadic financial offerings sent via mail.

These modest sums, accumulating to around $1500, remained tucked away in the recesses of OP’s closet, which he intended to return at his mother’s funeral reception. Upon the passing of his mother, his wife and friends reacted to his decision.

His wife encouraged him to let go, emphasizing that despite his father’s strictness, he had always allowed him back and acted out of love and the desire for his betterment. On the other hand, his friends, who shared a similar cultural background, downplayed the severity of his past punishments, suggesting that his father’s actions were well-intentioned, calling him a “disrespectful son.”

Engulfed in contemplation, the individual found himself grappling with conflicting emotions. He questioned whether he was irrational or justified in his feelings, seeking the opinion of the Reddit community. Readers resoundingly supported OP’s stance, viewing his father’s actions as emotionally abusive due to his history of expulsions during childhood.

Redditor Gets Revenge on Cruel Mother in the Most Cunning Way

After getting kicked out by her mother at 16, a young girl lived at her father’s place and later married and moved in with her husband. She wrote a Reddit post describing how her mother mistreated her when they were still living together.

The woman recalled how her mother told her she hated her before asking that she leave the house. Back then, the teenager couldn’t do much except follow her mother’s instructions. Meanwhile, her mother never treated her older brother that way. In fact, she behaved nicely with him.

In 2012, OP’s mother bought a seven-bedroom house with her new husband after quitting her job to join a startup. The woman had no idea that leaving her current position was a big mistake because the startup shut down three years after she became a part of it.

Her personal life was in a downward spiral as her husband developed medical complications due to obesity. Despite the doctors telling him to control his diet, he ate what he liked and soon became bed-bound. The Redditor recalled that her mother’s husband died in early 2022, leaving his wife in a bad financial situation.

Things went downhill to the point that the bank seized her house. Broke and homeless, the older woman turned to her daughter, whom she had mistreated and ignored all her life. Despite not sharing a good bond with her, the parent thought her daughter would support her during her difficult time.

The Redditor lived with her husband in a two-bedroom house, where one of the bedrooms was her husband’s office. She had turned her basement into an art studio, and her living room couch was where her cats slept.

It was a regular day for OP when her mother suddenly showed up at her doorstep, asking her for shelter. The Redditor was shocked at her mother’s audacity to ask her for a favor after mistreating her all her life, saying: “I don’t know why, in god’s good name, my mom thought I would be the one to come to.”

OP thought her brother’s house was better for her mother because he had a spare bedroom. However, when she saw her mother at her doorstep, she knew it was a golden opportunity she couldn’t resist, writing: “I told her she could live with us if, and only if, she decided to follow the house rules.”

Among the house rules she enumerated to her mother, she restricted her from using electronics after 6 p.m. and said she should sleep by 7:30 p.m. If the parent refused to power off her electronic devices at the given time, the Redditor threatened to confiscate them and sell them in the next yard sale.

She also threatened to take her clothes for the week if she didn’t sleep on time. Besides that, the Redditor restricted her mother’s shower time to five minutes and asked her to do all the house chores. OP threatened to restrict her mother’s meals for the day if she got up and the chores weren’t done.

The woman also instructed her mother to always be alert and do whatever she and her husband said. She gave her the duty to cook one meal daily and threatened not to let her eat if the food wasn’t cooked to her taste.

Moreover, she said she would control who her mother talked to by reading all her messages, mails, and emails. She also asked her to pay for gas and drive her wherever she wanted. After stating all the rules, the woman threatened to kick her mother out of the house if she displeased her.

She said she would drop her mother at a gas station for her brother to pick her up. OP also only would allow her mother to take some of her belongings from her house. When the older woman heard her daughter’s terms and conditions, she called her a “monster” and said she was being “inhumane.”

However, the Redditor believed the conditions she gave were fair because that is how her mother made her live as a teenager. So instead of staying with her daughter, the woman left her house without saying where she was going. The Redditor hoped her mother would find a park bench to live on.

Man’s Parents Kick Him Out Not Realizing They’d Need Him Later in Life

A Reddit user expressed on the platform how his parents expected him to conform to their plans regarding his career. The only acceptable profession in his family was to become a doctor. They came from a long lineage of medical professionals, and his parents expected OP to continue the legacy.

However, at age 17, he informed his parents that he wouldn’t undertake the profession. Instead, he wished to pursue a social media and acting career, along with other small business endeavors, but his parents disapproved of his plan. They believed he was up to no good and retaliated by kicking him out of the family home.

They subsequently lost contact for 17 years, and his family relocated to the United Kingdom so his siblings could become doctors. To his parents’ delight, OP’s older brother got into a rare, competitive surgery profession. He became a neurosurgeon specializing in spinal tumor removal and diagnosis.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, OP’s family informed him that they were returning to Sydney, where he lived. The decision was made so that OP’s older brother could pursue a job that paid $750,000 annually. Within two years, the Redditor and his family reconnected, but his parents never asked him about his career.

OP believed they assumed he lived an average life, and they weren’t wrong in that his acting career never took off. However, he landed an alternative career as an investment banker and made partner at the bank where he worked.

One day, OP and his siblings accompanied their parents to go house-hunting. It soon dawned on them that they couldn’t afford to buy a home in the communities they wished to live in. Despite being doctors, homes in northern Sydney cost above $20 million, which was too much for them.

They eventually called it a day and asked to see OP’s place before heading out for dinner. He obliged and welcomed them to his home. When his parents arrived there, their first thought was he was renting a room in the gorgeous house.

They asked him how much rent he paid, and he corrected them, saying he owned the place, leaving them in disbelief. The couple was furious, accusing their son of lying to them for years and meeting up with them to rub his “probably illegally gained” wealth in their faces.

They then declared that they would be living with him rather than his older brother since they couldn’t be seen living in a worse house than his. The man scoffed and reminded them that they chose to support their two other children, not him. He also told them they had a better chance of living with his neighbors than him.

At that point, his parents threatened to cut him out of their will, to which he shrugged, unbothered. “I reminded them of the fact that they can’t even afford to buy in my area, so their will and assets don’t really matter to me,” the man explained.

After their unpleasant conversation, OP’s parents refused to talk to him. His siblings told him that he should have proactively told them about his financial situation, but he argued he didn’t need to, as his LinkedIn profile was public, but they never bothered to search.

However, OP still questioned whether he was harsh for what he did. He didn’t feel obliged to help his parents after they cut him off for years, only showed interest in him after realizing he was wealthy. Luckily, most social media users were on his side, giving him some peace of mind.

Young Man’s Mother and Her Boyfriend Kick Him Out of the Family Home, Later Need His Assistance

In January 2024, an anonymous male poster turned to Reddit’s “AITA” forum to pen his story. The day after his graduation, OP’s mother and her boyfriend delivered the unexpected news that, now as an adult, he had to find a place of his own.

OP’s relationship with his mother experienced a significant shift when her new boyfriend arrived. Despite his efforts to make a good impression and to ensure his mother’s happiness, the older man appeared to harbor an inexplicable resentment.

According to OP, his mother’s boyfriend “convinced my mom to start charging me rent” because he had a part-time job while schooling, even though the older man was jobless and living off his mother. The intrusions escalated as the boyfriend entered OP’s room, went through personal belongings, and used items without asking.

The older man’s disregard for OP reached a breaking point when he damaged the young man’s laptop, having used it without permission. Despite the blatant invasion of privacy, OP’s mother chose to remain oblivious to her boyfriend’s wrongdoings and consistently sided with him.

When the young man expressed his discontent it led to heated confrontations, with the parent consistently reprimanding him instead of talking to her lover. The boyfriend surprisingly seemed content with OP’s mother kicking him out of the house.

OP had to endure a precarious living situation due to having insufficient funds to secure a place. He relied on the hospitality of his friends who let him sleep on their couches. However, they gradually grew weary of the arrangement and there were times when OP had to be homeless.

However, someone in his network facilitated a second job opportunity, giving him a lifeline. OP worked diligently and managed to gather some savings. After enduring several challenging months without a stable living arrangement, OP finally moved into a new residence at the beginning of January 2024.

A few days before his post went up, OP received an unexpected call from his mother’s boyfriend, who informed him that the parent had suffered a stroke. In a rather audacious move, the boyfriend attempted to guilt OP into returning home to provide support.

Undeterred, the young man stood his ground, firmly declining the request. He explained how busy his adult life was and emphasized the impracticality of taking time off. With a finality to his tone, OP hung up, choosing to maintain the boundaries he had painstakingly established.

In the end, OP was left wondering, “AITA for not wanting to go back home to take care of my sick mom” after she and her partner set him out on his own the day after his high school graduation. The online community responded strongly to OP’s narrative, unleashing a wave of support. Numerous commenters resonated with his plight, unanimously declaring him “NTA.”

In today’s world social media is an undeniable force, and the story of 16-year-old Korben White is the perfect proof of that. This young man attracted the attention of millions all thanks to a single tweet by his mother showing him rocking a red gown to his prom.

Korben posed in a fiery red skirt and a sequin-speckled tuxedo top that perfectly matches his scarlet-colored hair, not a typical outfit for a boy one would say, but he wanted to send the message that “you can be who you want to be.”

Speaking with the BBC, his mom Nina Green explained her son’s inspiration. “He wanted to go as himself, while expressing his feminine side–with a tuxedo on the top and a dress at the bottom, very much influenced by [American actor] Billy Porter.” She continued: “He wanted to be Korben…but in a dress.”

Nina had no idea the photo of her son would go viral, she just wanted to show her family and friends that her boy was “living his best life.”

“As soon as he got out of the car, everyone just cheered and I was crying, some of the teachers were crying, because he was being who he wanted to be,” she said.

“Everyone has been very supportive, and his year group has been incredible.

“If you let your child be who they are then you’ll get nothing but the best out of them.

“There are people in the world who still don’t understand, but the feeling of acceptance, you can’t beat that feeling.

“I am so happy for him.”

She only learned that her post reached thousands of people the following day while she and Korben headed to Pride in London.

Among those who were intrigued by Korben’s choice of clothing was his idols – Ru Paul’s Drag Race star Michelle Visage who commented that the teenage was a “star.”

Korben said it was “very surreal” that his mother’s tweet captured the attention of Visage.

“To me she is such an icon, a wonderful celebrity and I really admire her,” he said.

Nina’s photo of her son, which sparked support and love, encouraged other parents to share stories of their own gender-bending children.

“I worry for my son, he would really love to do something like this at prom but he would definitely not have the support of all the students! So sad that we still have homophobia even now. Well done to you, your son and his school!” one person wrote.

“I am so happy for your son he looked absolutely amazing!!!My son is trans, after 3yrs of transphobic bullying in Jan b4 GCSEs [General Certificate of Secondary Education offered in parts of the UK] I had to take him out of school for his mental health. He was always going to prom in a tux and he was deprived of the chance,” another shared.

“Absolutely stunning! My daughter wore a suit to hers!” a third shared about his daughter’s prom’s outfit.

As expected, there were also those who slammed Nina’s parenting, dubbing her a bad mom for allowing her son to wear a dress.

“There is very little hope for civilization,” one naysayer wrote, and a second added: “…Vile, Woke & a failure as a parent in encouraging this sort of thing. A 12 year old boy should be playing football and learning to be a man. But, sadly people now a days virtue signal, like what you’re doing with this tweet, and ruin their kids for life. Shame.”

Nina shared that she has been receiving calls from parents all over the country who ask for advice on how to be as acceptable as she has been towards her son.

“I really hope it will help others be more accepting, let proud parents feel they are not alone, and that they can celebrate their children, and for young people to know there is a network there if they need it.” She continued: “You need to accept your children for who they are.”

Cheating is never a good idea, because eventually, the cheaters get caught and they get a taste of their own medicine.

Below are three stories about cheating husbands.

1. I Met My ‘Dead’ Husband on Tinder

A woman named Maria lost her husband Dan in what she described as a horrible car accident. The image of his vehicle engulfed in flames and his body trapped inside hunted her every single day. As she was thinking about him and just how much she missed his smile, his laughter, and his presence, her friends Jane suggested that she needed to move forward as three months have passed by and that she needed to think of ways to pay the piles of debt her husband left her with.

The thought of meeting other people felt distant. Maria never thought she could ever be with another man, but Jane suggested she creates a Tinder account just to keep herself busy.

As the night came, Maria decided to take her friend’s advice. But just as she set her account with a stranger’s photo and started going through it, a familiar face appeared on her screen. She stumbled upon a profile that had her husband’s photo on it.

Her heart stopped for a second, but she pulled herself together and convinced herself that someone must have used Dan’s photo.

As she swiped right, they matched.

After some time, Maria received a message from the man. “Hi, what’s up?” he wrote. Shaking, she answered that she was making lasagna, making sure she sounded as normal as possible. “I knew someone who made excellent lasagna,” he responded. This was strange because she used to made lasagna for Dan all the time.

He then wrote that he was looking for tickets.

“Really? You’re planning a trip?” Maria replied.

“Yes, decided to take a break. Can’t choose which country to fly to,” he said.

“I’ve always wanted to visit Italy,” Maria wrote back. She always wanted to go to Italy with Dan, but he never agreed because he thought Italians were too emotional for his liking. He hated the weather there, too.

“Don’t like Italy. The climate’s too hot, and people are too emotional. But… they know how to cook!” the man replied.

Could this be just a coincidence or there was more to the story than Maria ever assumed?

The man who had Dan’s picture on his profile then shared that he loved hiking, just like Dan.

Maria then wrote him that she wanted to have coffee with him, and he agreed so they decided on a place to meet.

The following day, she went to the location but the man never showed up, so she tried to convince herself that she was just imagining things and that it wasn’t possible Dan to be alive.

Confused, Maria drove to Jane’s house to tell her everything, but just as she arrived at her house, she spotted a sign in front of it which said the house was on sale.

Her neighbor told Maria that Jane left some time before that and that she headed to the airport. This didn’t make any sense. Her best friend couldn’t possibly leave without telling her about it.

Maria called Jane’s sister and asked her if she knew anything, but she said she didn’t.

Maria knew she needed to act quickly. She started her car and started driving to the airport. Once there, she spotted Jane in the distance. She was with a man, but Maria couldn’t tell who that man was because she couldn’t see his face and couldn’t see clearly because they were far away.

Poor Maria reached the security barrier just as they placed their bags on the conveyor belt. She tried to follow them, but a security officer stopped her.

“Ticket and ID, ma’am,” he said firmly.

“Look, I need to get through. It’s urgent!” she explained.

But the officer didn’t budge. “Without a ticket, I can’t let you through.”

After giving it some thought, Maria decided to go to the police station and present her doubts. She believed Dan was alive and he and Jane made the plan to fake his death together.

Detective Martinez heard her story, but he said there wasn’t much they could do because all of Dan’s accounts were frozen because of his debts so they couldn’t track down any of his transactions.

It was a huge risk, but Maria decided to sell her house and rent a small apartment. She used the money to cover Dan’s debts and left money on his accounts, but some time passed by and nothing happened. Then, one day, Detective Martinez called her and told her that someone withdrew the money from Dan’s account. Luckily, they were able to track him down because of transactions. He was in Austria.

A few weeks later, Maria received the call she was waiting for so long. Dan was arrested when he tried to cross the border into Switzerland.

When they were finally at the station, Maria was there listening to them confess. Dan and Jane were having an affair and when his business collapsed and he faced a hard time coping with the financial loses, the two decided to fake his death using a homeless man’s body.

Despite all the pain they caused her, Maria was happy her husband and her best friend faced their karma. As for her, she was finally able to move forward.

2. I hid in my husband’s rear seat to uncover his dark secret

Woman sharing a story of how she caught her husband cheating and left him with nothing started her story explaining how her husband, Daniel, started acting strangely. She could feel she had someone else in his life so she hired a private detective to clear her doubts. However, Daniel found out about the private detective and silenced him with money so he assured OP that her husband wasn’t cheating on her.

One day, as they were driving home, Daniel felt distant. In order to start a conversation, OP asked him what he wanted for dinner, but he was way too absent mentally in order to be able to answer.

When they arrived home, they noticed the lights in the living room were on and water could be heard running from the bathroom upstairs. OP asked Daniel if he had left the tap open when he left the house, but instead of answering, he asked OP to go grab his lap top from his car while he was checking why the tap was dripping.

Not wanting to get into a fight, OP went outside to get the lap top and once she returned, Daniel told her that the bathroom was flooded and that she shouldn’t go upstairs, but OP was determined to check that out herself.

When she entered the bathroom, she noticed water on the floor, which certainly wasn’t flood. Suspicious, she entered the bedroom and that’s when she noticed a pink towel peeking from the closet; an undeniable proof of another woman’s presence in the house.

“With trembling hands, I approached the closet, dreading what I might find. I couldn’t bring myself to open the door, overwhelmed by the betrayal. I sank onto the floor, my back against the closet,” OP wrote.

“Tears streamed down my face as I spoke to the empty room.”

“I thought we had the perfect marriage,” she confessed to the silence. “I tried my best to save this marriage. I thought I was brave enough to face his infidelity. But I’m not, I think. You must be more attractive than me…”

At that moment, the door of the closet opened. There was a woman inside, Sophia, who whispered with a trembling voice, “I didn’t know he was married. He told me to hide inside the closet.”

“It’s not your fault,” OP told the poor woman, as tears kept running down her face.

The two women betrayed by the same man decided to get their revenge.

Daniel was still downstairs, and that’s when Sophia joined him, covering his eyes with her palms. Daniel got out of his seat, “What the hell? You were supposed to leave!” he said, panicking. Sophia, however, assured him that his wife was taking a shower and that’s why she was able to leave the bedroom without being noticed.

“I’m tired of being a secret, Daniel,” Sophia declared boldly. “It’s me or her, and I want you to decide now!”

Daniel assured her that he would file for divorce, but at that point, she needed to leave. He gave her a blanket to cover herself and told her to sit at the backseat of his car while and wait for him while he grabbed his keys. While he was looking for the keys, OP and Sophia changed places and OP found herself covered in a blanket inside her cheating husband’s car.

When he entered the vehicle, he said how he resented his wife, he didn’t love her any longer and couldn’t wait to end the marriage.

Listening to his words, OP took the blanket off. At the same moment, Sophia approached his window. He was shocked, realizing his dark secret was out.

“Thanks to Sophia’s evidence and my recording, I’ll take everything from you, including our business, Daniel!” OP told him confidently.

“Let’s not make a big deal out of this,” he pleaded, but OP didn’t want to listen to his words.

“You’ll get your divorce,” she said calmly. “I’ll get our business lawyer to draw up the papers. I’m sure she’ll be happy to do that. I hope you can afford her with what little you’ll have left when we’re through. Remember our prenup? And yeah, keep the car. You can live in it if you don’t find a place!”

OP was betrayed. She turned the back to the man she once loved determined to start her life over.

3. The ‘ghost’ in our house

One day, Jake, a young boy, was home from school early. As he entered the house, he was welcomed by the soft tunes of Billie Holiday coming from the bedroom.

Inside, there was someone who was making strange noises. As his mother wasn’t home, he decided to enter the bedroom and check.

His stepfather, Herman, was having “fun” with a lady who wasn’t Jake’s mother. Realizing that is stepson saw him with another woman, his lover Jezebel, Herman panicked.

He asked Jake why he was home that early, to what the boy replied that there was a lockdown scare at the school. They thought there was a gunman on campus and let the students go.

“Herman, who is this lady?” Jake asked, looking at Jezebel.

Herman decided to play games with the boys mind and denied his lover’s presence. “Jake, you must be seeing things,” he said. “You’re still scared after what happened at your school.”

“But I see a lady right there, Herman,” Jake replied.

“Hey, buddy,” he said, softening a little. “Close your eyes and count to ten. It’ll disappear if you do that. And you see, if you can’t see the ghost, it can’t see you.”

Jake did what he was told. He closed his eyes and counted to ten, leaving Jezebel enough time to hide.

When he opened his eyes, the lady whom Herman claimed was a ghost, was gone and Jake, being young and innocent, believed he made magic and got excited.

Herman told him not to share the story about the ghost with his mom and Jake agreed.

However, during dinner time, Jake mentioned the ghost and described it as a lady with big, frizzy hair. His mom was puzzled. Herman panicked and told his wife that Jake was just imagining things because he was disturbed by the school’s lockdown.

Still, the boy’s mom knew something odd was going on.

“I’ll call the school and get Jake an appointment with the psychologist,” she told Herman. “Now that you’re not working, you can take him to the appointment.”

“Maybe you should spend less time at that Moe’s Diner you visit often and help more with Jake,” she suggested stiffly, taking to Herman.

Scared for her son, the mom took Jake to the doctor’s.

“Don’t worry,” Dr. Warren reassured her. “I think what’s happening with Jake is a classic case of Kleinian Projective Identification. It involves a child projecting feelings onto another or the world outside, often to make the other person experience what the projector is feeling, causing delusional behavior like Jake’s. We can deal with this.”

“I just want what’s best for Jake,” I said worriedly. “If you think you can help him, then we’ll do whatever it takes.”

After the appointment, the mom took Jake to lunch at Moe’s Diner, the place her husband frequented.

There, Jake saw the ghost, or better said his stepfather’s lover Jezebel, who worked there as a waitress.

Looking at her, Jake closed his eyes and started counting to ten. She dropped their food and left, leaving Jake believing that his magic of making her disappear worked again.

His mom then figured everything out. Her son never saw a ‘ghost,’ but he saw his stepfather with that woman, and Herman tried to make the boy delusional.

Just to be sure, the mom approached Jezebel and asked her if she could use her phone to make a quick call. When she dialed her husband’s number she saw he was saved as ‘Loverman’ on Jezebel’s phone.

Once home, the woman called a moving company to have Herman’s things out of her home. When he entered the place and saw the things were being moved out, he asked his wife what was going on, but she decided to do to him exactly what he did to Jake.

“Herman, what men? I don’t see any men. You must be seeing ghosts. Oh, and to be clear, those are not our things; they are your things.”

At that moment, he realized he was busted.

“I will never forgive you for what you did to my child,” she told him. “The time for lies and infidelity is over. You know what you are to me now? A ghost!”

What’s most, she told him that she and Dr. Warren initiated charges against him for emotional abuse against her son.

Just then, two officers approached Herman and told him his rights as they took him away. The justice was served.

Sloan and Maddox Mattingly from Indiana, aged 7 and 9 respectively, were trapped in the sand in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea while playing in a sand hole, the Broward Sheriff’s Office informed. Both were transferred to the hospital where Sloan died and Maddox is in a critical condition.

The hole was 6-feet deep and collapsed on the children, as per the statement released by the sheriff’s office.

The boy was buried up to his chest, but the girl was fully covered. A video taken by a bystander showed about 20 adults trying to dig Sloan out using their hands and plastic pails, but the hole kept collapsing on itself.

“Everybody’s screaming,” a beach-goer said of the frightening scene and added that she called 911.

As per People, the caller told dispatch, “There’s a child that they’re trying to get out.” The caller then explained she heard the children’s father “yelling for help because his child is caught in a hole in the sand,” and while she was on the phone, the caller said the mom began yelling, “My daughter’s in there.”

Lauderdale-by-the-Se, where the tragedy happened, is a small enclave north of Fort Lauderdale which does not have lifeguards at its beach. Sadly, that meant there were no professionals who could offer help at that moment.

Emergency agencies started arriving one after another. It has not been revealed how long the siblings had been trapped inside the sand before they were pulled out.

“A freak accident happened yesterday while we are here on vacation and it took away our greatest 7.5 years. Don’t tell us you’re sorry for our loss…don’t do that to us. We experienced the purest human being and we are forever changed by her,” the children’s mom wrote on the GoFundMe created to financially support the family. “We love you beyond any stretch of the imagination. Our sweet Sloan. What we would give.”

The GoFundMe, which helped raise over $150,000, further read, “What started as an amazing family trip quickly turned into the devastatingly tragic loss of their 7-year-old daughter/sister Sloan. We know that no amount of money will bring beautiful Sloan back, but your donation can help bring Sloan home from Florida, cover funeral costs and ease the financial stress as they learn to navigate their new world.”

Friends of the grieving family posted messages offering condolences and love.

“She was the funniest friend you could ever ask for, the most loyal sister, the [tiniest] yet most acrobatic…and one of the greatest creations Therese Mattingly and Jason Mattingly ever made,” a friend of the family, Whitney Kanjala, wrote under a photo she shared of Sloan posing in front of an ice-cream shop with her name on it.

The same photo was then shared by Sloan’s heartbroken father. “We took Sloan to this ice cream shop with her name on it. It was a rainy nasty day but we made the best of what we had. We also hit up a local arcade and sang makeshift karaoke at our Airbnb,” he wrote.

Locals also shared their disbelief about the freak accident with one of them saying they have never seen or heard anything like this in 50 years. “I’m shocked. I’m absolutely shocked. I had no idea that digging out…something could happen where it could collapse underneath someone just hanging out and playing on the beach,” one person said.

Another local, Harry Defina, offered his theory about the hole. Speaking to NBC Miami, he said he saw a man digging the hole around 30 minutes before the kids started playing in it.

“I was walking by the beach, and I saw a man…digging a really big hole…up to his chest. I looked at him and he looked back, and I walked away, I didn’t think to go over and tell him not to do it,” Defina said. “I’m even upset that someone would imply that those kids dug that hole. They didn’t dig that hole. It was massive and it ended up like 18-feet-by-6-feet.”

Visibly upset, Defina shared the terrifying moment the kids got buried inside the hole. “I see kids in the hole. I could see the boy a little bit, but all I can see…I’m not going to be able to finish this…all I could see was the top of the girl’s head.”

Bernard J. Fisher II, the association’s director of health and safety spoke of the dangers of sand holes. “The recent incident in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a heart-wrenching reminder of why we must work together to keep our beaches safe,” he said. “By implementing these measures and fostering a community of safety and awareness, we can prevent future tragedies and ensure that our beaches remain places of joy and recreation for everyone.”

Our hearts go out to the grieving family.
