I was concerned that my ex-husband’s wealth and fabricated “perfect dad” persona would influence our kids and the judge’s ruling when he sought full custody. However, the courtroom fell silent as our daughter told what she had heard him plot for her and her younger brother.
I recently went through the most heartbreaking custody hearing of my life, and I’m 35. I found out about my husband Daniel’s affair two years ago.
It was the age-old tale of my discovering lipstick marks on his shirt that he claimed were ketchup after he spent far too many late hours at “work.”
I was in denial at first, especially because divorcing him meant giving up financial stability and beginning from nothing.
