I have an aunt whose husband abandoned her and their daughter almost 60 years ago because his Mommy didn’t like his wife.
Auntie struggled to provide for my cousin and refused her husband’s attempts to divorce her. (We are Catholic, and divorce was totally out of the question for her.)
Anyway, this guy croaks a couple of years ago and to the utter amazement of his sister, because my aunt had refused to allow a divorce all those years ago, SHE was his only heir. She came into a HUGE bundle of money, far more than she ever imagined she’d have. Now, auntie is a little old lady and had no need for the money herself, but it sure did come in handy toward sending her granddaughter (and my oldest goddaughter) to medical school.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. That panty-waisted mama’s boy is probably spinning in his grave about it.
Regards,
PS: As the child of divorce, I must say that I am not in favor of no-fault divorce when children are involved. Divorce HURTS kids, and hurts them bad. You live with it, but it never stops hurting...it is the death of a family.
