A mother lost custody of her daughter after she decided to divorce her spouse due to his infidelity. Over time, her daughter refused to see her, believing her mother was the bad person. The daughter didn’t reach out to her mom until she ran out of money and couldn’t afford college.

A woman who married a wealthy man thought she was lucky to have his support for her family. He not only spoiled her parents with luxurious gifts but also paid off her sister’s credit card debts and got her brother a high-paying job at a good company.

Her in-laws adored him and backed him during difficult times, even when he was unfaithful. At that time, the woman had just given birth to their child, Kelly. She felt vulnerable but wanted to leave her husband.

But her family convinced her to forgive him, arguing that Kelly needed a stable family with two parents. The woman took their advice and stayed, convincing herself that she couldn’t be the best wife because she was pregnant.

Kelly’s father had another affair when she was around 12. By then, the woman had decided to get a divorce. Her in-laws strongly disagreed, wanting to avoid scandal. Even her own parents preferred to maintain his generosity and goodwill.

Nonetheless, she filed for divorce. During the process, she lost custody of Kelly as her husband hired top lawyers and had family support. She received alimony and a good settlement, but she made consistent efforts to stay connected with Kelly.

However, Kelly saw her as awful due to her in-laws and her own parents, who told her that her mother was a hypocrite for not forgiving her dad. As she grew into a teenager, Kelly became convinced her mother was terrible and refused to meet her.

Kelly Began Contact with Her Mother Again for Money

During tough moments, the woman found support in her best friend Tina, who became her confidant and rock. Over the years, she kept trying to contact her daughter.

The Issue of Grad School Tuition

While the woman agreed to support Kelly’s grad school tuition, Kelly had to sign a contract relinquishing her heir position as noted in the woman’s will.

The woman focused on rebuilding her life, studied accountancy, and secured a high-paying job. Unfortunately, her ex-husband didn’t fare as well. He was not only fired but also sued by one of the workers. Despite financial troubles, he didn’t change his lifestyle and ended up spending all his money, including what he had set aside for Kelly’s college expenses.
