At the time I was still 5 or 6 and my mom and I were spending the night at a friends house. It was fun and I still got to watch tv and stuff but we had to leave and there was a car in the driveway. I thought it would be my dad but as my mom and I walked in it wasnt my dad, it was some rich guy. We went to the park to play IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT and ended up leaving to his house. Now when I tell you this guy was rich, I mean HE HAD A MANSION. He said hi to his family and maids I think and we made our way to his room. I was laid on the couch that was next to their bed and they ended up fcking. I heard my moms m0ans and I legitimately was scared. I didnt know what they were doing because they were under the covers. The next day he brought us to his basketball game. I dont remember much of it but all I know was I was scared. I didnt know who this person was and he was kissing my mother, certainly NOT my dad. When we finally got home I later told my dad what happened. My mom tried explaining that is was a dream and we were at her friends house that whole weekend. BUT WHAT 5 YEAR OLD DREAMS OF S3X? I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT WAS. Later on after my parents divorce in 2018 my dad told me he believed me all those years and partly knew what happened and said how he tried hanging himself that night it happened. Now that my mom has a new fiancé I am suspicious of her cheating on him like with her and my dad. That night never left my mind.

I been thinking real hard about even relaying these awful things about the person that I have admired the most, the person I have respected and revered my whole life but that now, has completely backstabbed me in the worst way possible. A few years ago, a scandal broke in my political family involving my mother. As you can imagine, it nearly broke my marriage and tore my husband’s family apart. My sister in law found my father in law and my mom talking on social media. The worst part of it, when I was confronted, I was accused of knowing about the whole affair and made it looked like I was an accomplice to the whole ordeal. When I had absolutely no clue to such a disgusting mess. I don’t know what neither of them were trying to accomplish and now, I’m the black sheep of the family. No one talks to me. While my father in law is still loved and honored. My mother the home wrecker and I pay the sins of her ordeals. She never once has said I’m sorry. Never! In her head, I’m better off without that side of the family. But it’s not about that; why did she do this to me? Why my father in law? Among so many men? Why him! I guess I’m just looking for an explanation and I know I will never get it from her. Because she just cannot accept she did anything wrong. I wish I could get her version because as of now, I only know everyone else’s but her’s. I always thought I didn’t need to hear her side because it’s not my place to question her, but I have kids who now have to suffer for her sins as well. I don’t think it’s fair to them either. I guess the damage is done as well and the past is the past. I won’t get nothing accomplished but I just want an acknowledgment from her part that she messed up.
