My husband and I have two daughters. My father just adores them. He calls them princesses, buys them sweets and is very close to the children in general. I treat my husband well. Only lately I’ve been watching his anxiety. Even snapped at the girls, nervous. What’s the matter?
I could not even imagine what happened. If I asked my husband questions, he said he was having problems at work. I took note of it and calmed down. As the weeks went by, things didn’t get better. When I decided to get my husband to talk seriously, a strange woman called, and I heard the following:
Did you know that your husband had a second family and even had a son, Robert?
After that they hung up. I was in a state of shock. Was my husband really capable of cheating? I could hardly wait until he got home from work. And I started asking him questions right away. Straight to the point.
Darling, who is Robert?
My husband obviously didn’t expect me to ask any questions. He began to mumble something vague and incomprehensible. Then I interrupted him and said: either he tells the truth, or I will find out myself. He ended up confessing that about three years ago he had an affair at work. She subsequently became pregnant. The husband insisted on the job, as it was not in his plans to give up his family. After all, he loves his daughters and his wife. And she thought a baby would tie him to herself.
Eventually a boy was born. Only the mistress proved to be a bad mother. The husband did not want his child to be orphaned. I was shocked – could this really happen to our family?
I thought about it and made the decision to forgive my spouse. No matter what, I have feelings for him. Plus the kids – how will they live without their father? They are so waiting for him to put them to bed, read them a story.
One day I ran into one of my old friends, who was a kindergarten teacher. We went to a restaurant, where I saw my husband and a 3-year-old. Then I saw my husband’s son for the first time.
And my girlfriend pointed at them and said:
– Look, the baby has a father and a mother, and he’s basically an orphan.
As it turned out, the mother abandoned the child. She found a husband abroad and left. And the father already has a wife and children. As a result, the child is an orphan. We sat around for a while, my friend left, and I decided to go over to my husband.
– Boys, you’re something late, can go home?
My husband looked at me and did not understand, but when I smiled, he cried, kissed me and said:
– “Mommy, you’re the best!
I hugged the baby and decided that I could raise him with dignity. We adopted the boy according to all the rules. And since then, we’ve been living as a family of five. The daughters were okay with my brother. Robert is very happy.
I met Robert’s grandmother and she told me that her daughter had always treated her son badly. And now he has a family. Sisters, father and mother.
A lot of water had run off since then. Our daughters have grown up and moved away. And my son is in med school. We are proud of our children. I never once questioned my decision. Everyone benefited from it. It’s not right for children to be orphaned when their parents are alive.
