I\u2019m writing to\u00a0you because\u00a0I feel completely broken. My\u00a0ex-husband cheated on\u00a0me\u00a0for months, and\u00a0I was so\u00a0crushed that\u00a0I\u00a0divorced\u00a0him and swore I\u2019d never see him again. I\u00a0thought my\u00a0daughter, who is\u00a0now an\u00a0adult, would stand by\u00a0me, but\u00a0I was wrong. The other day, she told me\u00a0the most\u00a0heartbreaking\u00a0thing I\u2019ve heard since my\u00a0divorce: she\u2019s naming her baby after him (let\u2019s call him David)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u00a0couldn\u2019t believe what\u00a0I was hearing, so\u00a0I asked her, \u201cAfter everything he\u00a0did to\u00a0me, you still want to\u00a0name her after him?\u201d She looked confused, as\u00a0if\u00a0she didn\u2019t understand the pain this would cause\u00a0me. She said, \u201cI\u00a0know, but his new wife advised me\u00a0to\u00a0do\u00a0it\u201d. She said that her new\u00a0stepmother\u00a0was right, and that even after all that he\u00a0has done, her father is\u00a0still a\u00a0big part of\u00a0her life. She said she wants her daughter to\u00a0have that same connection.I\u00a0was absolutely floored. I\u2019m her mother, and after all the betrayal I\u2019ve been through, she still chose to\u00a0side with him and his new wife. I\u00a0feel completely abandoned and like my\u00a0feelings don\u2019t matter at\u00a0all.I\u00a0feel justified, but wonder if\u00a0I\u00a0am overreacting. Thanks for any advice,
