When a woman married a wealthy man, who she believed would be a blessing for her family, her life took a drastic turn.
She wrote on Reddit about how this man paid off her sister’s credit card debt, gave her parents lavish presents, and even secured her brother a fantastic position at a respectable company. Despite his infidelity, her in-laws respected him for his generosity.
Right after she gave birth to their child, Kelly, he cheated on her for the first time. She sought guidance from her family since she felt exposed. They made an effort to assist, but she struggled to make up her mind and ultimately stayed since she felt she was to blame for not being the best wife during her pregnancy.
Years later, when Kelly was about 12, he cheated again. This time, she was determined to divorce him. But her family and in-laws were against it, fearing a scandal. She filed for divorce, but the custody battle was tough, and her ex-husband’s legal team, along with her in-laws, had the upper hand.
She lost custody of Kelly, but got alimony and a fair settlement. She tried to stay in touch, but her in-laws and parents painted her as the bad guy to Kelly. They convinced her that her mother was wicked.
Her best friend, Tina, was her rock during these tough times. Without Tina, she might not have made it. Over the years, she tried to mend things with Kelly. Though she agreed to support Kelly’s grad school, there were conditions. In exchange, Kelly had to give up her inheritance status in her mother’s will.
There were restrictions even if she consented to fund Kelly’s graduate program. Kelly was had to forfeit her inheritance position in her mother’s will in return.
Life has a way of bringing everything into balance. Kelly put in a lot of effort, earned an accounting degree, and secured a lucrative position. Kelly’s father, meantime, had a run of poor luck, losing his job and becoming involved in a lawsuit. He depleted all of his assets, including the funds for Kelly’s schooling.
Kelly changed her mind after becoming financially independent and gaining a better perspective on life. She desired to get back in touch with her mom. Given that Kelly’s tuition was no longer assured, the woman couldn’t help but wonder if her recent financial troubles were the cause.
In exchange for Kelly relinquishing her inheritance status, the woman volunteered to pay for Kelly’s graduate school expenditures. Laura, the woman’s goddaughter who had been like a daughter to her, was named as the primary beneficiary in her will.
It should come as no surprise that this choice caused a family dispute. There is disagreement among family members regarding the woman’s decision to name Laura as her heir rather than her own daughter, who only appeared interested in getting back in touch after experiencing financial difficulties.
When a man enters a pet shop, he notices a lovely parrot with the following sign:
“Just $50 for a Talking Parrot!”
He asks the store owner, “Why is this parrot so cheap?” with excitement.
“Well… he used to live in a bar, so he has a bit of a foul mouth,” the proprietor groans.
After giving it some thought, the man declares, “I’ll take him! He can learn some etiquette from me.
“All right, friend, no more foul language!” he exclaims as he brings the parrot home.
The parrot squawks, “Yeah, yeah, whatever, buddy,” as it glances at him.
Frustrated, the man declares, “I’m putting you in the freezer if you swear again!”
After a few minutes, the parrot utters a series of profanities.
The man puts him in the freezer for a minute because he is annoyed. The parrot shakes as he opens the door and exclaims, “All right! I’ll be fine! What did the chicken do, though?
