Episode with two stories, first part. I hope you enjoy this story. The bridezilla named Sill insisted that I purchase her $3,500 bridal gown, ridiculed me relentlessly during her wedding, so I sought retribution. Thus, I, a 27-year-old woman, served as the matron of honor. To my sister-in-law, Christina, 25F, a couple of days ago. I've been married to her brother, Martin, 28M, for about a year now, out of my sister-in-law. after four years of being together.

Martin's family actually likes me, except for Christina. She has never taken a liking to me, and I've never been able to figure out why. I tried to be nice to her initially, but she was just so uptight and mean that I stopped trying. She reminded me of all the mean girls I've had to deal with in high school and college, and I knew better than to try to befriend her

because I knew that that had never worked. So she used to ignore me, and I used to ignore her, and that's the way it was. Martin was upset about it and tried to get me to be her friend a couple of times. But when he realized that the efforts were not being reciprocated from her end, he didn't try anymore. And nobody else cared enough to force us together because it's not like we were kindergarten kids. So, to sum it up, Christina and I have never had a great relationship and I never expected her to change either.

It came as quite a shock to me when, a couple of months ago, she asked me to be her maid of honor. I wasn't really into the idea and told her that I needed some time to think but eventually, I was just going to turn it down. For starters, she and I barely even knew each other and she'd made it very clear to me in the past that she didn't like me, for whatever reason. Also, being a maid of honor was a duty and commitment that I didn't think I was ready to take on for Christina, of all people. I was going to say no, but I did speak to Martin about it before I declined, and he told me

that he actually believed that it's be a good idea for the both. of us to spend some time together, and agreeing to be her maid of honor would be the perfect opportunity for us to do so. I was pretty reluctant but Martin convinced me and said that if Christina had asked me to be her maid of honor, then that meant she was extending a hand of friendship towards me and now, it was up to me if I wanted to take that hand so, after a lot of deliberation, I decided to give it a shot and I regretted it within a couple of weeks. She was pretty nice to me after I agreed to be her maid of honor and it felt like a welcome

change from her usually cold and gloomy behavior around me. We had a lot of fun planning and going out for brunch together but then, she asked me to buy her the wedding dress. It was a $3,500 dress and even though it was pretty, I didn't think it was necessary for her to buy a dress that she couldn't afford, especially after her mother had offered to let her wear the wedding dress she had worn for her own wedding and had even allowed her to get it altered to fit her better. She told me that she couldn't exactly afford the dress with her current salary and it didn't fit in the wedding budget, but she had her mind set on that dress. She practically begged me to buy that for her because she knew that I had a much higher income than hers. She told me that she couldn't tell her parents to buy it for her because they were already contributing to the wedding.

She couldn't tell her fiancé because he didn't think it was necessary for her to go out of her way and buy a wedding dress when she already had one that her mom had allowed her to use. and it was a really beautiful dress too. She could talk to Martin about it, which is what I suggested. But since I was her maid of honor, she thought that she'd asked me first because she knew that I earned more than he did and it'd be easier for me since I was the designated rich relative. For the record, I'm an investment banker so yes, technically, I do earn more than most of the people in her family, but there's also the fact that I'm not exactly her family. We're not related by blood and I certainly don't think it's customary for the sister-in-law, or even the maid of honor, to buy the wedding dress for the bride. I tried to make up some excuses but she was so insistent that I couldn't bring myself to say

no and I agreed to buy her that dress, as long as she paid me back the amount in full afterward. Luckily, I had that conversation recorded on text where she agreed to pay back the amount so now, I can use that against her. I bought her the dress and she was thrilled. She was extremely nice to me, even more than she was to the other bridesmaids, who were her friends and I felt great about it. It was a lovely couple of months, until the day of the wedding when she finally went back to her old self, in the worst way possible. Not only did she start behaving coldly towards me again, but this time, she actually

chose to make fun of me and humiliate me among her friends and the other guests. The ceremony went well because there wasn't much talking involved in that anyway, but she had started distancing herself from me right from the morning of her wedding itself and barely even spoke to me before the vows. Then after that, while she was socializing with the guests and stuff, she dragged me along with her to meet everybody else. But then, she only made mean jokes at my expense, which made them uncomfortable and made me feel awful about myself.

She was ridiculously mean and made fun of everything, right from my appearance to my personality. She made fun of my weight, my nose, my social anxiety, and even the fact that I'm a bit of a perfectionist. It was crazy because it was completely unprompted and didn't make sense to me why she was doing that, especially after we had such a good run before her wedding and had almost begun to believe that she was my friend. So I confronted her about it in person in a corner and asked her why exactly was she being so horrible to me all of a sudden. She laughed it off and said that I was just being silly and that she wasn't making fun of me, she was just introducing me to her guests.

Even then, I told her that her way of introducing me was kind of mean and I didn't appreciate it. So she rolled her eyes at me and told me to stop being so sensitive about everything. She said that she wasn't being mean, this was just her sense of humor and if I couldn't handle it, then I probably should not be friends with her and walked away. I stood there for a while because I was shocked at the way she was behaving and then I lost my temper and did something that I probably shouldn't have. I was only standing a little way off the stage and I could see that the band was still setting up, so the mics were not in use.

And in the heat of the moment, I walked up onto the stage and delivered a speech that I kind of regret. Once I was on stage, I had everybody's attention, so I just started talking about how Christina had asked me to be her maid of honor a couple of months ago. And I'd said yes because my husband and I stupidly assumed that it'd be a nice opportunity for us to finally get along. I mentioned that Christina had been quite cold to me before that, so I'd been looking forward to actually becoming friends with her. But unfortunately, Christina was also such a nasty be word, that it was impossible to be friends with her even if one tried. Then I brought up how Christina

had begged me to buy her the wedding dress that she currently had on and then, I said that judging by her behavior on that day, I think she'd only asked me to be her maid of honor so she could get that dress. And given that I was her highest earning relative, she probably had to suck it up and be nice to me for a couple of months, just so she could have the dress that she wanted. I realized after a while that somebody had cut the power to the mic, so I started screaming out my speech instead and I could see security trying to make their way through the crowd to get to me. People couldn't see it, but I still brought out my phone and showed everybody the texts which I had screenshots of. I called her a tacky, ungrateful and psychotic Bridal Isilla, said that I

was glad that I wasn't her friend, and then, walked out of the venue myself before security could even touch me. I could hear her crying and that brought me a great deal of satisfaction so I didn't even look back and kept walking until I reached the bus stop that was closest to the venue. I didn't even check my phone until I was already on the bus that went home and when I finally did, I realized that I had about 100 texts from my family. My parents had been invited to the wedding and had seen everything unfold. They wouldn't exactly be accusatory, but they did. did sound very confused in the texts and told me to get back to them as soon as I could. Martin, on the other hand, had just sent me a couple of texts saying that what I'd done was

insane and that we needed to talk once he was home. He also told me that after I left, Christina was pretty much inconsolable and everything had come to a halt for about 10 minutes, while everybody tried to calm her down and he said to me that I owed them all a huge apology. All the other texts were from irrelevant relatives of theirs who were only getting involved because they wanted to be a part of all the drama and gossip that would inevitably happen after this. I ignored all of it and headed straight back home, made myself a cocktail, and ordered a burger, since I didn't get to enjoy the wedding or eat, and then decided to have a fun afternoon to myself while watching television. I did not respond to a single call or text until the evening because I didn't

think that it was important for me to talk to anybody especially when I was in that state of mind. I felt insulted, humiliated, and used, but I also did regret the way I behaved because it was nothing short of psychotic. I had a lot of conflicting feelings and I didn't think that I could talk to anybody or explain this at the time the only people that I thought I did owe an explanation to were my parents, Martin, and my in-laws. Not Christina though, because she knew exactly why this happened. Martin finally came back home at around nine and he didn't even say anything to me when he entered the house. I waited for him to freshen up and get changed into comfortable clothes and assumed that he'd

talk to me after that but almost an hour passed and he still didn't come to me. So I decided to break the ice first and approached him. He was on his phone and stonily ignoring me when I walked into the bedroom where he was lying down but that wasn't going to stop me. So I did exactly what I did at the wedding and just started talking without overthinking it. I explained to him how Christina had been insulting me throughout the morning and I even gave her a chance to apologize. Or at least just reassure me that she wasn't going to continue making fun of me like that, just to get a few laughs from her guests because it was humiliating and I didn't like it.

But she told me that I was making a big deal out of nothing and that's what really pissed me off. Especially since I was the one who bought her that dress, even though I didn't have any compulsion too. And yet she couldn't even be a little grateful to me and was acting as if I was the one who was overreacting. That made me mad and I couldn't hold back so I revealed that to all her guests. So essentially, I just did what she was doing to me but the only difference was that I had the mic and she didn't. I thought that this would be enough of an explanation for Martin but he didn't say anything and continue to ignore me, so I snapped yet again and told him that he needed to talk to me. That's when he finally looked up at me and told me that he could

understand that I felt humiliated. But that was still no reason for me to ruin her wedding day. because it was not just an event for them and it reflected poorly on his entire family. And I hadn't even spared a second to think about him and his reputation among his friends and family before going ahead and screaming my head off at a public event, just so I could get my petty revenge. He told me that my behavior was unacceptable and that my reaction to what Christina did was actually far worse than whatever she said. He told me that I could have dealt with the situation in a lot of better ways, but I chose to do the most unhinged thing. And after what, What I did he couldn't just talk to me and treat me the same way unless I apologize to him and his family,

especially Christina because despite whatever she said, the fact that I ruined her wedding still stands. I thought it was ridiculous of him to expect that I'd apologize to Christina because, in my opinion, she was the reason behind this entire mess and I just reacted to it. Granted, I might have taken things a little too far, but she was the one who started it and was crazy to me that he wasn't blaming her for anything. So we got into a fight over that and I told him that I told him that I told him that I was I was not going to apologize to anybody apart from maybe him and his parents.

There was no way that I was apologizing to Christina and he could be mad at me if he wanted to, but that wasn't going to change my mind. He told me that I was acting crazy and unreasonable and he could only talk to me once I decided that I'd be less irrational. It's been a couple of days now and we haven't spoken to each other and I'm beginning to think that I might not exactly be in the right here, but I really just don't want to apologize to Christina and even though I can apologize to Martin and his parents. I don't think I need to say the same for her because she was the one who screwed up first. She was downright horrible to me and in my opinion, she completely deserved what I did. And I don't think that after that sort of disrespect, anybody would want to

apologize to her. But as much as I hate to admit it, Martin also does have a point and I could have dealt with it better, which I didn't because I was really angry and now, I just don't know how to feel about any of this. So Ida for delivering a really mean speech at my sister-in-law's wedding and making her cry? Update 1, hey, so some of you have been asking me if Christina had reached out to me after the wedding debacle and to answer that, no, she hadn't and neither have my in-laws. Also, to make it clear, I really don't know why Christina doesn't like me because contrary to popular belief, she and I had never met before I started dating Martin. So no, there was nothing from my past that could have led to such an intense dislike for me

and I genuinely have no clue as to why she hates me so much. I would also like to add that I wish nobody judged Martin and my in-laws just from what I said because all of them are actually wonderful people and have always been great to me. We're going through a rough patch right now because of whatever happened at the wedding but before this, all of them have always been lovely to me, especially Martin. And even now, Martin is just standing up for his family. I can't comment on whether what he is doing is right or wrong because I haven't made up my mind about that yet but it's not like he is being cruel to me and neither is he being hard on me.

He's always been a wonderful partner and just this one disagreement is not enough to break us. So please stop hoping, praying, and suggesting that I file for a divorce because that's definitely not going to happen. Thank you. Update 2. It's been a week, a really difficult week too, since the wedding. Martin and I hadn't been on speaking terms for one whole week. week and today I finally gave in because I do think that I messed up and even if I didn't apologize to Christina, I did need to apologize to him. Because I ruined a family event that was a pretty big deal for them. After we were both back from work today, I decided to bring it up at dinner and told him how sorry I was for losing my mind at the wedding. And I also told him that

I was going to talk to his parents and tried to make things right with them as well because they didn't deserve this. And I knew that their relatives were probably having a field day making fun of my meltdown at the wedding. But I also made it very clear that I still wasn't going to apologize to Christina because she was a horrible human being and I didn't want anything to do with her. He was quiet for a while but then he told me that it was fine and that I didn't need to apologize to her. He was just really mad the other day so he was being unfair and realized it much later.

He just sounded exhausted and told me that it had been a really hard time for him because he was facing backlash from almost everybody in the family and the only person he wanted to talk to about all of this was me, but I wasn't even talking to him. So it had been a pretty miserable week for him as well. He told me that his parents were furious at me and he didn't think it was such a great idea for me to go apologize to them right now and advised me to let them cool off a little bit before I talk to them. He also said that he was really annoyed with his uncles and aunts and other relatives because they had nothing to do with this but for whatever reason. They felt that it was their place to comment on me and they called me really derogatory names in the family group

text. He told me that he left that a while back, but his parents keep sending those texts to him, to remind him how the family feels about me now and apparently they want me to apologize to Christina and the rest of the family for my behavior. I'm honestly okay with apologizing to Martin and his family, but I am not apologizing to Christina under any circumstance whatsoever. What she did was not okay, and she's the one who owes me an apology first. I told Martin that I was ready to apologize to the family, even after whatever they called me, but I was not apologizing to his sister. To my surprise, he actually told me that I didn't need to apologize to anybody at all because if this incident had taught him anything, it was that all these people cared about was their own selves.

He called them all selfish and answered that he didn't think I needed to apologize to anybody because I wasn't answerable to them. He said that apparently, he tried to tell his parents and the other members of his family that it was actually Christina who instigated and provoked me into doing that. But none of them were ready to believe it and just labeled me a psycho without even hearing my side of the story. They were sure that their little Christina was just incapable of being cruel to anybody. And so Martin knew that there was no point in trying to reason with them. He knew that they would just use the apology as a way to humiliate me even further. And he wasn't going to let that happen. He told me that he still stood by his initial stance and still

believed that what I did was not okay but neither was Christina as innocent as she was being made out to be. And so he told me that I shouldn't apologize to anybody, and even if I wanted to apologize to his parents for the sake of my own conscience, I should properly do it when they'd be feeling more receptive and open to it. Because if I do it now, then it'll be pretty pointless. So I guess it worked out pretty well for both of us. It's not perfect and it's not ideal, but at least I was able to get this off my conscience with Martin. And at the end of the day, what matters to me is what my husband thinks of me, everybody else can just go to hell. Update 3, hey, everybody. I know a lot of you guys have been asking for an update, but to be honest, there's not a lot that has happened

ever since the last one. I mean, after Martin and I made up, I pretty much stopped worrying about what his family thought of me. He got a promotion at his work, so we decided to take a little vacation because we were both really stressed and that was about it. As for my own parents, I explained everything to them and they were okay with it. They weren't concerned because this doesn't have anything to do with them and they're just glad that Martin and I are getting along and we made up soon after our fight. That's all they really care about. Neither Christina nor her parents have been in touch with me and I honestly think that it's for the best. My in-laws were wonderful to me when I married into this family but now, I respect the fact that they're choosing

their daughter's side over mine, even though she's in the wrong. It's their personal choice and I'm not going to hold it against them. Update 4, so it's been a month since my last update and today, I received my money back from Christina, which was a pretty startling discovery because I'd almost forgotten about her and the wedding debacle. She also texted me because I hadn't blocked her and I finally found out the real reason behind why she didn't like me, and it's just as stupid as I had expected it to be. Apparently, one of her friends had a thing for Martin and she was just about to set him up with her brother. But then he brought me home and introduced me to the family and so her friend ended up getting heartbroken and she blamed me for it, which is why she didn't like me.

That friend of hers really liked Martin and she liked him for a long time, but after our first year together, she realized that she'd never have a chance so she moved out of state for work and is doing a lot better now, from what I've heard. I don't know how any of this is my fault. but I guess with Christina, she just needed a reason to dislike me and she picked that. I would have much rather not found out the reason at all, now that I know that it's something this dumb. I told Martin about it and he told me that he always had a clue but he could never see that friend of hers is anything more than his little sister's best friend, so even if I hadn't been in the picture they still wouldn't have gotten together. But whatever, at least it's all over now

and I don't have to talk to Christina ever again. That's the end of the first story. Let's begin the Second one. I hope you enjoy this story. The daughter-in-law tragically perished in a mishap, prompting us to welcome her sorrowful mother into our home. However, I soon discovered my spouse engaging in infidelity with her, and the illicit relationship had commenced earlier. Our daughter's passing. My stepdaughter Becca, 14F, passed away four weeks ago. I've been in her life since she was seven years old, we were extremely close. My husband husband Derek, 40M, his ex-wife Sam, 38F, and I, 35F, get along very well. There has never been an issue in the seven years that I've been with Derek.

Sam has always been kind to me, she didn't even care that Becca called me mom too. Right after Becca's passing, Sam had so much anxiety and depression that she was unable to be by herself, she has no family besides us, so we invited her to stay with us. Sam hardly leaves the house. She mostly just sleeps in Becca's room, which is completely understandable. I always tell her that I'm here if she needs me and that I want her to take her time with grieving and that there is no pressure to go back to her home. Today I needed to run some errands, so I asked Sam if she'd like to join me to get out of the house a little bit, but she declined and said she'd rather just stay at the house and sleep. I told Derek that I was leaving and that I would be back in two-ish hours.

he works from home, I also told him to check on Sam every once in a while, and maybe try getting her to eat something. After stopping at the post office, I realized I forgot my library book that I needed to return, so I went back home to get it. As soon as I walked in the door, I heard moaning coming from mine and Derek's bedroom. I immediately knew what was happening. And my heart completely broke in that moment. I wasn't completely sure what to do, but I ended up deciding to confront them, so I walked to the bedroom and opened the door and began yelling at them both. Sam started having an anxiety attack and ran to the bathroom while Derek kept apologizing profusely. I asked him what the hell was happening. He told me that he made himself and Sam some lunch and they

began talking about Becca and shared some memories. And then Sam ended up kissing him and he didn't pull back, and then it ended with them in our bed. They're begging me to understand that it was just grief that caused them to become intimate and that they both made a mistake. I don't know what to do. I love this man. And I love Sam. I'm heartbroken that they did this to me and put me in this position. I feel so stuck. Comments where OP has replied, Great Championship 252, that would be hard no for me. I understand grieving, but how is this excusing cheating? What happens next time he is sad? Edit, I misspoke when I said sad.

Obviously, this is something beyond devastating. I still don't think it can be used as an excuse. Oop, don't want to excuse his cheating. I think I want to divorce him, but I'm anxious about doing it right after we lost Becca. Spellbound Mama, probably together. Do you both own the home? If it's in your name, change the locks. Stay strong and don't listen to his excuses.

I am so sorry this happened to you during such a difficult time. Oop, exactly what I was thinking if I'm being honest. And yes, we both own it. When I told him to leave, he kept saying sorry and then said that he would leave and respect me wanting him gone for a while. Impulsive X thoughts, are you seeing a therapist perhaps? You're dealing with a lot right now, it might be useful. Oop, yes, I am in therapy. I've been with my therapist for other things for the last three years.

She's been very helpful. I saw her yesterday and was able to figure some things out. Update 1, May 11, 2024. I decided that I'm filing for a divorce. I can't ever trust Derek again. It sucks because we had an amazing relationship, I thought, he's always been great, so this was a complete shock to me. Last night, Derek came over to talk.

He confessed to a lot. Turns out it wasn't their first time having sex like most people thought. They've been having sex since three months before Becca died. I am completely shocked and heartbroken. Sam also reached out last night and thanked me for everything I've done for her, and told me she was sorry. I didn't respond, I blocked her. I did so much for Sam and considered her a friend so this hurts a lot,

more than I can handle. This is all too much. As hard as this is going to be, I need to leave Derek and cut them both out of my life. I am ready to do so. I am done. Also, some people are saying I deserve this because I should have known better than to let Sam into our home, around Derek. But, you need to understand that I'm a giving person, I trust people more than I should. I truly thought Sam was an amazing person.

I know it's unusual to become friends with your husband's ex-wife, but it's just how it went for us and I should. be blamed for what happened. Thank you to everyone who commented nice things and for the kind messages. You've all been helpful during this insanely difficult time, I appreciate it. Comments, impulsive ex-thoughts, out of curiosity, what are his excuses for cheating? Those two are going to be in a world of hurt, once the guilt settles in. They're going to be asking themselves why it had to be Becca and will eventually come to conclusion that it's their punishment for what they've done to you. I can pretty much guarantee you that. Oop, he told me that they just accidentally reconnected one night when I was away at my

moms. He was stressed we weren't conceiving and were having miscarriages, so he vented to Sam, and then somehow that led to sex. It seemed so icky to me. How can he vent about our struggles like that and then go and have sex with Sam? It's just awful of him. I don't understand it. Editor's note, remove the first half of the updates as it was a rehash of update number one updates 2. May 13th, 2024. I'm getting lots of questions about some things so I figured I'd answer a few of them. Have I told anyone about what happened besides my mom? Yes, I told a few friends and some family members. Most of them are supportive of my decision and aren't speaking to Derek. Where is Derek staying? Currently, he's staying at a hotel. Our friends refused to to let him stay with them. He's lost a lot of people due to his awful decisions. Has he tried fighting me on getting a divorce? Yes, he begged me not to file for divorce, but when I told him I needed

him to just let me go, and that I was too exhausted to fight him on this, he let it be and agreed to getting a divorce. Why isn't Derek staying with Sam? He told me he didn't want to continue to hurt me, so he told Sam he was done with her for good. And that they have no reason to speak to each other anymore. I have no idea if that'll last and if they'll just end up together, but I truly don't care what they do anymore. I just want peace. What was Derek's excuse for cheating? He told me that they just accidentally reconnected one night when I was away at my mom's. He was stressed we weren't conceiving and were having miscarriages. So he vented to Sam, and then somehow that led to sex. Disgusting of them both, I know. Feel free to ask anything else, and I'll try to answer.

Thank you everyone for your support and advice. Comments? Uppon what happened to Beka Oop, it was very sudden. She died in a car accident when she was with one of her friends and her friend's parents. Uppon her husband's parents being supportive or not, and if they know about his cheating I get along with Derek's mom very well, but he's also a mama's boy so it's kind of complicated. She will always be there for him. He'd stay with her if she didn't live across the country. She knows what he did and told me she had a talk with him but said that he's still her son and she'd help him with anything if he needed it. I'm thinking I need to cut her out of my life too, which makes me really sad because we were close and talked on the phone almost daily.

Up on if she has children with her husband, Oop. We've had six miscarriages total. All of them were in the first trimester. More updates, May 14, 2024. I just found out that he is staying with Sam and not at the hotel. He told me it's too expensive to stay at a hotel and Sam is the only one that'll help him right now. I had a feeling this would happen. Just knowing that they are still probably sleeping together hurts my heart. I talked to a lawyer this morning and we are proceeding with the divorce and Derek agreed to it.

It's actually happening, and I feel that you're not. some relief that he's not fighting me on this. My mom leaves on Sunday, I'm scared to be alone. But I go back to work on Monday, so I'm hoping it'll be a good distraction. I'll keep updating if anything else happens. Thank you everyone, I am so grateful for you all. Comments, Immaculate 329, Op, how did you find out he was staying at his ex-wife's place? Anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. He is not true to his words in going on contact with Sam. Oop, he texted me this morning after we talked to lawyers, and said he just wants to be honest

with me, I told him to stop giving me updates on what he's doing in his life and that it's not something I need to know. It seems like he wanted to tell me to hurt me. Oop on how she is doing Oop, thank you I'm doing a little better today. My mom and I went on some nature walks and went out into the garden this afternoon, that helped. Becca loved gardening with me so it made me feel closer to Rebecca's diary. May 15th, 2024. I decided to go through some of Becca's stuff today. I just found her diary in a box in the back of her closet. Would it be wrong to read some of it? I feel like it would help me feel closer to her,

but part of me feels like it's wrong too. I haven't told Derek that I found it either, and I'm unsure if I should tell him. What would you do? Relevant comments up on if she was closer with Becca prior to her sudden passing oop. Becca and I were very close. It felt like she told me anything and everything, but I honestly think all parents feel that way about their kids, so I'm kind of nervous to read it. Just a little update.

May 19th, 2024. I figured it's been a few days, so I should give a little update. My mom is leaving in a couple hours, so I'll be alone, I'm kind of nervous about it. She helped me stay distracted and kept me going. I'd cow I'm going to handle her being. gone. I go back to work tomorrow, first day back since Becca passed away. I'm looking forward to it, though, because it'll keep me distracted. Also, I did read some of Becca's diary.

It made me love her even more, she was such a sweetheart. I went back a few months and saw that she noticed some weird behavior between Derek and Sam, didn't mention that she knew of the affair, but she just wrote that she thought it was kind of strange that they all three would hang out more than usual, without me. I might read more, but so far I haven't found anything that's disturbing, just for being a teenager and talking about crushes, fights with friends, happy family memories, etc. Tomorrow I'm also talking to my lawyer, so I might have more updates on that. Thanks for the continuous love and support everyone. Last update for a while, May 26, 2024. Started randomly getting a lot more messages slash comments so I figured I'd do another little last

update. My first week back at work went great. I wasn't expecting it to go so well, but thankfully it did. My co-workers were so helpful and patient with me. On Friday night I decided I didn't want to stay home all weekend alone, so I decided to drive up to my moms. It helps I have a three-day weekend so I can spend more time with her. I'm heading back home tomorrow. Also, for those of you that have messaged me hateful things for reading Becca's diary, I just have to say, you aren't in my shoes right now, telling me I'm a bad mom because I'm reading her diary is just ridiculous. I learned so much more about her, about how caring and sweet she is, and it made me love her even more. It's how I'm able to feel so close to her right now, so please don't tell me I'm

a bad parent for just trying to get by one of the hardest times of my life. You have no idea what it's like. I don't have much of an update, so this will be it. I'll come back and update once the divorce happens, though. Thank you to those of you that have been nothing but kind and helpful. You help me feel less alone. I'll forever be grateful. Sam saw my Reddit post and is threatening to sue me. June 1st, 2024 Sam made a fake FB profile to message me and tell me she wants to sue me for telling strangers about what happened. Derek supports her apparently. I don't need this. Am I not allowed to vent about my life to people online? I just want life to get better.

I'm so tired. Fuck you, Sam. Fuck you, Derek. Edit, Sam is in the comments and messaged me on here too. Blocked her. Additional information from Upp-oop on the message from Sam-oop. No, I just ignored her. It might be an empty thread just to make my life harder, but I'm unsure.

Her message said, so I was scrolling TikTok and ended up on an account where they read Reddit posts and guess whose post they read? Yours. First you tell friends and family and then you go to a bunch of strangers and tell them our life story. I can't believe you, it isn't just your business to tell. Becca would be so disappointed in you. Be prepared because I think I'm going to be suing you for this. This was no one else's business. You did this to yourself, remember that. I'm actually baffled. She thinks Becca would be disappointed in me. WTF.

New update. I don't think I can do this anymore. June 11th, 2024. I have been as strong as I can be, but I have been really struggling. So much is going on and I'm just so tired. How can I keep going? I just want to be with Becca. I miss her.

I miss her smile. I miss her laugh. I miss how she tried to make you laugh when you were sad by telling dad jokes. I miss how she liked being in the garden with me, I miss seeing all her new drawings, I miss her beautiful eyes. I miss everything about her. I just want her back. I need her back. Edit, I am okay. I just needed a spaced event. I was getting so many messages asking if I'm all right, and I just wanted to say thank you to those that reached out. I am okay, I will be okay. Some days are harder than others, but I think I'll get through this.

I'm so grateful for the little community I have here. Thank you all so much. Sam took her life on June 20th, 2024. July 4th, 2024 Sam ended up taking her own life on June 20th. I am still trying to process everything. She had hurt me deeply, but this isn't something I wanted whatsoever. And Derek blames me. I feel so many things and I'm going to be away for a while again, but I wanted to update you all.

Thanks for the love everyone. Comments Oop on how she is doing after Becca's death and now Sam's passing Oop. I hope they're together again. And I hope they're both at peace too. That's all I hope for. Thank you.
