She Donated Bone Marrow To Her Stepson, So Her Husband’s Ex-Wife Suddenly Wants To Be Friends With Her After Hating Her For Years
This woman has been married to her husband, Chris, for 10 years now. But, before they tied the knot, Chris was married to his ex-wife Lacey for 8 years. He and Lacey had also been together ever since they were in high school.
So, Chris had four kids with his ex-wife; meanwhile, she had two kids with Chris.
Aside from having different personalities, she also claimed that Lacey has always hated her.
“I think Lacey was bitter over being divorced and seeing the man who she was with since 16 move on,” she revealed.
“But that’s her problem, not mine.”
Still, she and Lacey have gotten into arguments a couple of times, and she refuses to apologize just because she’s happy and Lacey isn’t.
Unfortunately, though, her youngest stepson, Jacob, was ultimately diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma and desperately needed a bone marrow transplant. No one in Chris and Lacey’s family was a match, either.
That’s why she decided to get tested, and she found out she actually was a match.
“Lacey actually asked me if I was going to donate like I’m some kind of witch,” she recalled.

Anyway, ever since she donated bone marrow, her stepson has been in remission as of this year. He’s also begun living life like a normal 13-year-old kid, which is incredible.
At the same time, Lacey has actually started to warm up to her. After all, she seriously helped out Jacob, who is reportedly Lacey’s favorite son. While her husband’s ex has seemingly tried to extend an olive branch, she isn’t that thrilled about it. Whenever Lacey randomly sends her flowers or asks her how she is doing, she just finds it bizarre.
She even admitted that, honestly, she doesn’t ever want to be friends with her husband’s ex.
“The damage has been done between us, and my life is peaceful without her. I’d do what I did a million more times if I had to. No need to shower me with accolades; just leave me alone,” she explained.
She wound up telling Lacey that, too, but her husband’s ex just didn’t get her perspective. Instead, Lacey claimed that was the “most hurtful thing” anyone had ever told her.
Since then, her husband has also told her to apologize to his ex.
“But I refuse to apologize for setting up boundaries with someone I can’t stand,” she vented.
So now, with both her husband and Lacey upset with her, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to be friends with Lacey following the bone marrow donation makes her a real jerk or not.
Does she owe Lacey a friendship? Did she donate the bone marrow to appease Lacey or save her stepson’s life? Does she have a right to set a firm boundary between herself and her husband’s ex? What would you do in this situation?
