After Rebirth: Ending My Cheating Husband and Unfilial Son1
After my ex-husband, Erik Bates, betrayed me by cheating, I made the difficult decision to forego a significant settlement in order to fight for custody of our son, Ashton Bates. I didn't want Ashton to refer to the mistress as his mother.
I spent almost all my energy on Ashton, even working two jobs every day to pay the high tuition fees.
Being aware of the potential psychological trauma that children may experience due to their parents' divorce, I made a concerted effort to compensate for it by providing double the love, care, and support to my child.
However, after Ashton was admitted to a prestigious university, he began attributing all of his misfortunes to me. He even went so far as to change his surname back to Erik's.
Later, I saw the wedding invitation posted by Ashton on social media.
In a photo, he was captured embracing the niece of Erik's mistress, wearing a tender smile. The caption beneath the image read, "Fate has brought us together."
Standing alongside her was Erik, my ex-husband, and his mistress, Kayla Moore. Both of them wore radiant smiles.
