I\u2019m writing to you because I feel completely broken. My ex-husband cheated on me for months, and I was so crushed that I divorced him and swore I\u2019d never see him again. I thought my daughter, who is now an adult, would stand by me, but I was wrong. The other day, she told me the most heartbreaking thing I\u2019ve heard since my divorce: she\u2019s naming her baby after him (let\u2019s call him David).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I couldn\u2019t believe what I was hearing, so I asked her, \u201cAfter everything he did to me, you still want to name her after him?\u201d She looked confused, as if she didn\u2019t understand the pain this would cause me. She said, \u201cI know, but his new wife advised me to do it\u201d. She said that her new stepmother was right, and that even after all that he has done, her father is still a big part of her life. She said she wants her daughter to have that same connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was absolutely floored. I\u2019m her mother, and after all the betrayal I\u2019ve been through, she still chose to side with him and his new wife. I feel completely abandoned and like my feelings don\u2019t matter at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
