Ok so when I was little (about 3-4 years old) after my parents had divorced my mom met a guy and he had two children a boy (we’re gonna call him Kayden maybe 11 at the time) and a girl (we’re gonna call her Kayla maybe 8-9 at the time) I was really close to the girl because we shared a room. Me being 3-4 years old I loved to play Barbie’s and so did Kayla. But one day she started being weird with the Barbie’s like making then do stuff. I told her to not do that with the Barbie’s because it’s gross but she did it anyways. Sometimes after she would make the Barbie’s do stuff she took me to our closet shut the door and told me to do what the Barbie’s were doing. I didn’t want to and told her many times “no let’s just play Barbie’s” but she insisted that we do what she made them do and then we could go back to play Barbie’s so I did. This continued for a while. I am now 13 and my mom left her boyfriend few months after that. I have never told anybody that.

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.
