Teen daughter disowns mother in favor of unfaithful dad – years later she comes back begging

Share this:

A mother’s world came crashing down when she decided to leave her wealthy husband after learning he had cheated on her. Though it felt like the right thing to do, she never expected the fallout that followed. Not only did she lose custody of her beloved daughter, Kelly, but as the years passed, Kelly grew more distant, convinced her mother was the villain.

It wasn’t until Kelly ran out of money and couldn’t pay for college that she finally reached out to her mother.

The woman had once believed she was one of the lucky ones. Marrying a wealthy man had not only changed her life but also helped her family. Her husband was generous beyond words, spoiling her parents with luxurious gifts, paying off her sister’s credit card debt, and even securing a high-paying job for her brother through his connections.

Her family adored her husband, and during the tough moments of their marriage, including the first time he cheated, they always took his side.

At the time of his first betrayal, the woman had just given birth to their daughter, Kelly. She was heartbroken and vulnerable but felt a strong urge to leave him. Yet her family insisted she stay. “Kelly needs both parents,” they told her. “It’s best for her to grow up in a stable home.” Reluctantly, she agreed.

She told herself that maybe she hadn’t been the best wife while pregnant, that perhaps her husband’s mistake was partly her fault.

Years passed, and things seemed to settle down until Kelly was 12 years old. That’s when her husband cheated again. This time, the woman couldn’t take it anymore. She was determined to get a divorce, but her family and in-laws were outraged. “Think of the scandal!” they said.

They were more worried about their image than her happiness. Her parents, still benefiting from her husband’s generosity, also begged her not to go through with it. But the woman had made up her mind.

She filed for divorce, but the fight didn’t end there. Her husband, with all his wealth and power, hired the best lawyers money could buy. Worse, her own family sided with him, not wanting to lose the benefits his money provided. In the end, the courts awarded him full custody of Kelly. The woman was devastated. Though she received a generous alimony and settlement, losing her daughter broke her heart.

Over the years, she tried to stay in touch with Kelly, hoping to rebuild their bond. She reached out, arranged visits, but Kelly wanted nothing to do with her. Her father’s family, and even her own parents, filled Kelly’s head with lies, telling her that her mother was cruel and selfish for not forgiving her father’s mistakes. Kelly believed them. As a teenager, she refused to see her mother, convinced she was the bad guy.

Kelly Reaches Out—But Only for Money

During those painful years, the woman leaned heavily on her best friend, Tina. Tina was her rock, the one person she could trust with her deepest sorrows. “I don’t know what I would have done without her,” the woman often said. Despite Kelly’s rejection, the woman never gave up hope, always leaving the door open for her daughter to return.

That day finally came, but not in the way the woman had hoped. Kelly reached out to her mother, not because she missed her or wanted to make amends, but because she needed money. Her father, who had once lived a lavish lifestyle, had fallen on hard times. He had lost his job and was even being sued by one of his employees.

In his arrogance, he continued to spend money he didn’t have, leaving Kelly with nothing for her college education. Desperate, Kelly turned to her mother for help.

The woman agreed to pay for Kelly’s grad school, but there was a catch. Kelly would have to sign a contract giving up her right to inherit anything from her mother’s estate. The woman had worked hard to rebuild her life after the divorce. She had gone back to school, earned a degree in accounting, and secured a high-paying job.

During that time, she had grown close to Laura, Tina’s daughter, who had become like a second daughter to her. In her will, the woman planned to leave most of her assets to Laura.

A Mother’s Dilemma

When her family heard about the contract, they were shocked. They warned her that making Kelly sign away her inheritance could destroy any chance of repairing their relationship. “She’s your daughter, after all,” they said. “Don’t you want to give her a second chance?”

But the woman wasn’t sure. “It hurt that Kelly only reached out because she needed money,” she admitted. “I don’t want our relationship to be based on that.”

Now, the woman is faced with a difficult decision. Should she leave everything to Laura, the goddaughter who had been there for her through the hardest times? Or should she reconsider, hoping to rebuild her relationship with Kelly, even though it seemed Kelly’s love came with a price tag?

What would you do in her shoes? Should she prioritize the daughter who turned her back on her, or the one who stayed?
