Her Dad Cheated On Her Mom And Is Getting Married To The Other Woman, Who She Considers Her Best Friend Now
A 17-year-old girl has had an interesting childhood after her mom ended up being diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was only an infant.
Since her mom’s diagnosis meant her mom couldn’t get a handle on her behavior or mood, she was given to her grandparents to raise as her dad had his hands full with work.
She did have two brothers who stayed home with her mom while she went to live with her grandparents though.
Growing up with her grandparents, she ended up getting quite close to their neighbor Alice. Alice essentially fulfilled the role of her mom.
Alice constantly picked up presents for her, drove her to school, and just was there for her when she needed her.
She remained in the care of her grandparents up until she turned 10. At that point, she moved back in with her mom, who had undergone chemo and surgeries to overcome her brain tumor.
She felt like she didn’t even know her mom when she moved back in with her, and everything was quite hard.
“Every day I called Alice and at least once a week she would take me to her house or some fun outing,” she explained.
“Sometimes my mother tried to cut off our contact and this made me very resentful.”

Two years after she moved back in with her mom, her dad divorced her mom. He had stayed in their marriage only because her mom was sick.
Not long after her dad made that decision, he told the whole family that he was in a relationship with Alice.
“According to my mother and older brothers, the two had been having an affair for over 10 years,” she said.
“I remembered the times my mother had been jealous of my relationship with Alice and I thought things made sense.”
“Despite everything, I haven’t walked away from Alice and she’s my best friend. I started going on trips with her and my dad.”
As she got closer to her dad and Alice, her mom became upset that she was an Alice fan. She has attempted to make it clear to her mom that she does love her too, but her mom isn’t happy.
A week ago, her dad said that he proposed to Alice and now they’re getting married. Her dad not only invited her to the upcoming wedding; he invited her older brothers too, who are refusing to attend.
She was the only one who said yes to going to the wedding, and her brothers are so mad at her for doing that.
“I asked my mom how she would feel if I went to the wedding, and she said she would feel betrayed and doesn’t know how our relationship would bounce back after that,” she continued.
“I really want to be present at the wedding, I love Alice like a second mother.”
Should she still go to the wedding, or should she decline the invite?
