A mother lost custody of her daughter after divorcing her unfaithful husband. The daughter, influenced by her father and grandparents, refused to see her mother, believing she was the bad one. It wasn’t until the daughter ran out of money and needed funds for college that she reached out to her mom again.

When the woman married a wealthy man, she felt fortunate. He was generous, showering her parents with luxurious gifts, paying off her sister’s credit card debts, and securing a good job for her brother. Her in-laws adored him and often sided with him, even during their marital issues, including his infidelities.

When her husband first cheated, the woman had just given birth to their daughter, Kelly. Vulnerable and wanting to leave him, she was convinced by her relatives to stay, believing they should provide Kelly with a stable family environment. They made her feel she wasn’t a good wife due to her pregnancy.

However, when Kelly was about 12, her husband had another affair. This time, the woman decided to divorce him. Her in-laws and even her own parents were against it, fearing the scandal and not wanting to lose the benefits from her husband’s wealth.

Despite their opposition, she went through with the divorce but lost custody of Kelly. Her wealthy ex-husband hired the best lawyers and had support from both their families. She received a good alimony and settlement but struggled to maintain a relationship with her daughter. Kelly, influenced by her father and grandparents, saw her mother as a terrible person who couldn’t forgive her father, leading to their estrangement.

Kelly Only Reconnected with Her Mother for Money

During these tough times, the woman leaned on her best friend, Tina, who became her confidant and rock. Over the years, she continued trying to connect with Kelly.

The woman eventually agreed to support Kelly’s grad school tuition, but only if Kelly signed a contract giving up her right to inherit in her mother’s will.

She focused on rebuilding her life, studied accountancy, and secured a high-paying job. Ironically, her ex-husband wasn’t faring as well. He lost his job, was sued by an employee, and squandered all his money, including what was meant for Kelly’s college expenses.

The Woman Wanted to Leave Her Assets to Her Goddaughter, Not Her Daughter

Kelly, now in financial trouble, wanted to reconnect with her mother.
