But she was wrong. Years later, her ex showed up again, bringing even more chaos into her life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is her full story:<br dir=\"ltr\" \/>I\u2019m 34, and my ex-husband, 36, walked out on me years ago when his mistress got pregnant. I\u2019ve been raising our two kids on my own ever since. Last week, he suddenly appeared at my door with his daughter\u2014the one he had with her\u2014and asked me to babysit.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His tone was desperate: \u201cMy wife is in the hospital, she\u2019s dying. I have to be there. I have no one else to ask.\u201d<br dir=\"ltr\" \/>I refused.<\/p>\n<p>He immediately lost his temper, yelling, \u201cIf you don\u2019t help me, you\u2019ll regret it till the end of your days!\u201d Then he stormed off, calling me a \u201cheartless, cruel witch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two months later, I\u2019d almost forgotten about it\u2014until I got a call from his wife, the same woman he\u2019d left me for. She politely introduced herself (as if I didn\u2019t know who she was) and asked if I\u2019d seen him. I told her about his visit and his claim that she was in the hospital, \u201con her deathbed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She sounded stunned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat hospital?!\u201d she asked. It turned out she\u2019d never been hospitalized at all. She had actually been staying with her parents, joyfully announcing her second pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, my ex had simply grown tired of his responsibilities as a dad. He had lined up a date with another woman and thought it was a great idea to dump their daughter on me\u2014his ex-wife. Now I keep wondering if I did the right thing by telling her what happened.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s pregnant, and I know stress is the last thing she needs. Still, I can\u2019t shake the guilt that maybe I just made things worse. Maybe I should\u2019ve stayed quiet and let it go.<\/p>\n<p>Source: brightside.me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This woman believed her husband had already done the worst\u2014leaving her alone with two kids to start a new life with his pregnant mistress.
