The woman was six months pregnant when she learned of the heartbreaking news.

Fortunately, her in-laws took her side.An anonymous Reddit user shared a heartbreaking story about her family.

The woman had been dating her husband since she was 19, and he was 22.

They were married for six years with two kids and one on the way.

Even though she was excited about expanding her family, she also discovered that her father, the only parent she had left, had been diagnosed with colon cancer.

She hoped her father would beat the cancer but later found out he was not reacting to the treatment and only had months to live.

Her husband supported her through this challenging time, watching her father’s health and memory deteriorate.

“My husband has been my absolute rock.

He has been there for me holding my hand and helping me through this.

He’s been so loving and attentive to both my kids and me,” wrote the Reddit user.

Despite how difficult things had been for her, the mother of three reiterated that she did not let any of her hardships get in between her and her children.

She was still a present mother and gave her children all the attention they needed.

However, something happened that turned their lives upside down.What Discovery Did OP Make That Changed Her Marriage?

She postponed telling her husband to at least live through one peaceful day before it all came crashing down.As for her best friend, she vowed never to speak to her again and did not even care to hear the reason behind her betrayal. “After today, I will cut her out of my life like she never mattered at all,” she resolved.The mother of three received a lot of support from commenters.

The lawyer clarified that her husband would not get her father’s inheritance. The OP has yet to confront her husband about everything but wants to focus on starting a new chapter with her children.

Everyone in the comments also praised the woman’s in-laws for being supportive and taking her side.Most were in awe of how well the Reddit user handled such a painful situation. One of the commenters wrote: “The fact that you have the unequivocal support of the families of the people who betrayed you is touching.
