Going on a trip with my sister was meant to be a refreshing break for me to reset and return to my small family of three revived. But instead, coming back turned into a nightmare! My husband of nine years betrayed me and our daughter in a way I couldn’t forgive and that caused us to leave.

I never thought a quick two-day trip would be enough to unravel everything I believed about my marriage. When I left Friday morning, I felt content, even a little smug, thinking John and Lila would enjoy a weekend together. But when I stepped through the front door Sunday night, I was met with something completely different..

I’ll be honest, when I agreed to leave my daughter, Lila, with her father, John, for the weekend, I only had high hopes for their bonding. I pictured them making pancakes on Saturday morning, watching movies, and just having the kind of quality time they didn’t always get when I was around.
