My daughter has always had a complicated love life, and 6 years ago married a man with children from a previous marriage. His best friend was a frequent visitor to their house, and at times it looked like a menage a trois....something she hotly denied when I made a joking comment, although I wasn't the only one, her sisters noticed it too. You know what's coming! She finally got pregnant and my beautiful grandson was born, with myself, her husband, and the best friend supporting her throughout...it now turns out the best friend is the father and my poor son-in-law, of whom I am very fond, has been given his marching orders. I am absolutely gutted. What a mess, and his children are involved too. I am utterly ashamed of my daughter's flirty behaviour which has often been problematic in the past, but this is such a difficult thing to deal with and I feel so alone. She told me in confidence and it feels like too much to bear. I have no-one to talk to about it. Her father and I divorced 11 years ago after a 30year marriage and have no contact.
I can't believe my car insurance has risen by that much!
