After everything Theresa has been put through, it’s hard not to feel for her. She tried to support Zac, only for her husband to twist the situation and paint her as the villain. Anyone would feel betrayed in her place. And blaming Zac doesn’t seem fair—he’s a teenager who may have just followed his dad’s lead without understanding the consequences.
The bigger question is whether her husband is the real problem. Manipulating his wife and dragging his son into it crosses a serious line. Theresa now has to figure out how to protect herself from being hurt again. One option is walking away entirely—if this behavior is part of a pattern, staying might only lead to more emotional damage.
But if she’s not ready for such a drastic step, honest communication is a starting point. A real conversation about trust, boundaries, and respect could help, and couples therapy might offer a safer space to rebuild what’s been damaged. Still, it won’t mean much unless her husband truly understands the harm he caused.
Trust is fragile, and in Theresa’s case, it’s been deeply shaken. Whether her husband acted out of insecurity, immaturity, or something darker, only his future actions will reveal the truth. She deserves clarity, honesty, and stability—things she should not have to beg for in her own home.
