My son (24) mistreated and eventually cheated on his now ex wife while she was 3 months postpartum. He is leaving town to go be with the other woman and seemingly has no regrets. Both me and his dad are ashamed seeing how our daughter in law is struggling to cope with everything happening in her life, while trying to care for a new baby. We decided to cut him off of the will and put everything we planned to give him towards our daughter in law and our grandbaby.
My son heard about this arrangement from his sister and is going on a campaign to guilt and shame me and my husband for the decision we’ve made. Sadly, many family members are taking his side and calling my daughter in law now “an outsider” or “not family” saying we’re making a mistake that will cost us our son.
She is aware of the negativity around her, but she has nowhere else to go. My husband and I took her and the baby in for now. We are getting heat and criticism and it’s bothersome and exhausting, but we’re standing our ground because we feel like it’s only fair to make sure our grandbaby and his mother get a stable life after what my son did to them.
Oftentimes having disagreements with family can be very confusing and conflicting but I look at how confident and determined my husband is to support and continue to support and provide for our daughter in law makes me more confident in my stance as well. As a mother, It’s really hard for me to witness all of this and despite the fact that he’s my son and yes he had been going through some rough times, I couldn’t stand away and watch, Also as a mother if I had something similar done to me, I’d absolutely want to see my inlaws and family standing behind me as a support.
I can only imagine how my daughter in law is feeling right now, especially with everyone else showing hate towards her and accusing her of turning us against our son, We can not control how others act or how life is but I’m glad that I did right by my daughter in law and my grandbaby. That is all.
