But our today\u2019s heroine is\u00a0a\u00a0woman who accidentally revealed her husband\u2019s huge skeleton in\u00a0a\u00a0cupboard, and the shocking revelation doesn\u2019t let her sleep peacefully at\u00a0night. The woman shared her story with\u00a0us, and we\u00a0can\u2019t help but feel very sorry for her and her broken illusions. Here\u2019s her shocking story with a\u00a0very unexpected twist.\n\n
Rosa, our 37-year-old reader, has recently shared her mind-stirring story with our editorial. The woman wanted to pour her heart out and to find out people\u2019s opinions about her family situation that turned her life into a total mess.\n
Rosa opened her letter, saying, \u201cHi Echo Woven! I\u2019m totally desperate about my family life at the moment, and I couldn\u2019t have imagined that such an outrageous thing would ever happen to me.\n
My husband Mark and I have known each other for 15 years, and we\u2019ve been married for 14 years. I\u2019ve always believed that our marriage initiated from a very big, sincere and mutual feeling. I\u2019ve always taken pride in my special relationship with my husband and I sincerely believed that we did have that strong bond, mutual trust and lots of respect towards each other.\n
Our love story was so special and this gave me the reason to think that our happy union would last forever, but I was so wrong and so blind.\u201d\n
Rosa goes on\u00a0with her story, saying, \u201cMark and\u00a0I first met each other at\u00a0my\u00a0dad\u2019s funeral. I\u00a0was grieving the loss of\u00a0my\u00a0only parent (my\u00a0dad raised me\u00a0alone after my\u00a0mom passed away when\u00a0I was a\u00a0toddler).
\nMy\u00a0dad and\u00a0I had always been very close, and he\u00a0did everything and anything for making my\u00a0life a\u00a0fairy tale. Dad was a\u00a0very famous artist, whose works were admired by\u00a0many people, and he\u00a0made a\u00a0very good income from his paintings. He\u00a0owned several art galleries and his name was recognized and honored in\u00a0wide circles.\n
Dad had a\u00a0couple of\u00a0very devoted friends, who all came to\u00a0his funeral to\u00a0honor his memory. One of\u00a0these friends brought his son along to\u00a0the dad\u2019s funeral, and this was Mark, my\u00a0then future husband.\n
After my\u00a0dad\u2019s funeral, Mark was all attention. He\u00a0immediately started offering me\u00a0help and support in\u00a0everything\u00a0I might need during that darkest time. I\u00a0happily accepted his help and this was the time when we\u00a0became friends, and\u00a0I fell in\u00a0love with this man.\n
Mark and\u00a0I started dating soon after\u00a0I healed from my\u00a0immense loss. And 2\u00a0years after my\u00a0dad\u2019s funeral and our first encounter with Mark, we\u00a0tied the knot.\u201d\n\n
Rosa wrote, \u201cOur marriage was a\u00a0very blessed and happy union from the very beginning. Mark was a\u00a0good and caring husband and a\u00a0doting dad. He\u00a0always insisted that we\u00a0must have as\u00a0many kids as\u00a0possible, and he\u00a0said that he\u00a0couldn\u2019t imagine family life without children.\n
I\u00a0did want to\u00a0have kids, too. But my\u00a0plan was to\u00a0have one child and give all my\u00a0love and attention to\u00a0them. Mark insisted that we\u00a0have 3\u00a0kids, and\u00a0I didn\u2019t object. To\u00a0my\u00a0shock, he\u00a0lost\u00a0any interest in\u00a0our children soon after their birth.\n When I\u00a0gave birth to\u00a0our first baby son, Mark was on\u00a0cloud nine. Then, 2\u00a0years after, we\u00a0welcomed baby twins into our family. Rosa wrote, \u201cI\u00a0must mention here that my\u00a0MIL, Ashley, and my\u00a0FIL, Jonathan, used to\u00a0be\u00a0very close with my\u00a0deceased father. When Mark and\u00a0I got married, my\u00a0in-laws were very good to\u00a0me, and they also insisted that Mark and\u00a0I must have at\u00a0least 3\u00a0kids together.\n When our kids were born, neither of\u00a0them showed any signs of\u00a0love and interest in\u00a0their grandchildren. Both in-laws were absolutely indifferent about their grandchildren, and sometimes they even forgot about their birthdays, which\u00a0I found appalling, especially after they initially wanted so\u00a0many grandchildren. Their behavior was very strange, but they were still very good to\u00a0me, and they often took my\u00a0side when Mark and\u00a0I had conflicts or\u00a0arguments about anything.\n I\u2019ve always thought their behavior towards our children was a\u00a0result of\u00a0some family trauma or\u00a0something. I\u00a0didn\u2019t even try to\u00a0find an\u00a0explanation for their attitude, and\u00a0I calmed myself by\u00a0the thought that I\u2019m my\u00a0children\u2019s mom and\u00a0I love them all more than anything, and this was the only thing that was very important for the kids.\u201d\n Rosa added, \u201cRecently, I\u00a0found out why Mark and his parents were behaving in\u00a0such a\u00a0weird manner all these years, and\u00a0I can say that the truth hit me\u00a0really hard.\u201d\n\n Rosa wrote, \u201cMark and\u00a0I were approaching our 15th wedding anniversary, and\u00a0I was very busy preparing for a\u00a0very nice celebration. Recently, I\u00a0came home from work and was going to\u00a0call Mark and ask him if\u00a0he\u00a0made some arrangements about our celebration that were his responsibility. I\u00a0thought he\u00a0wasn\u2019t home, but then\u00a0I heard his voice, he\u00a0was not alone, I\u00a0heard Ashley speaking in\u00a0a\u00a0very emotional tone. Rosa wrote, \u201cI\u00a0heard them talking about my\u00a0dad\u2019s will and some woman named Ann, whom Mark loved and with whom he\u00a0would be\u00a0finally happy together without any need to\u00a0hide. This all was strange, and\u00a0I could feel that something bad was happening, bad for me\u00a0and my\u00a0kids.\u201d\n Rosa said, \u201cI\u00a0immediately thought about my\u00a0dad\u2019s will. The peculiarity about it\u00a0was that it\u00a0was going to\u00a0be\u00a0announced right during our 15th wedding anniversary. And my\u00a0father-in-law was the person who was going to\u00a0do\u00a0so, as\u00a0he\u00a0was my\u00a0dad\u2019s close friend. I\u00a0rushed to\u00a0my\u00a0FIL and told him that\u00a0I knew there was something about my\u00a0dad\u2019s will that\u00a0I need to\u00a0know immediately. Rosa added, \u201cYou might ask me\u00a0who was the woman named Anna? Turned out, Mark had been having a\u00a0relationship with the woman he\u00a0honestly loved for all these 15\u00a0years that we\u00a0were married, and he\u00a0was going to\u00a0finally propose to\u00a0her after he\u00a0would be \u2019free and wealthy.\u2019\u201d\n The woman added, \u201cI\u2019ve hired the best lawyer in\u00a0the state to\u00a0help me\u00a0leave Mark and his greedy family without a\u00a0cent. They\u2019re not going to\u00a0receive my\u00a0dad\u2019s money, but the legal process is\u00a0going to\u00a0be\u00a0long and tough. My\u00a0FIL keeps asking me\u00a0to\u00a0give his son a\u00a0chance to\u00a0prove that he\u00a0loves\u00a0me. He\u00a0said multiple times that my\u00a0dad wanted me\u00a0to\u00a0live in\u00a0a\u00a0long and happy marriage and that his last wish was fulfilled, and\u00a0I must be\u00a0grateful for that. And here\u2019s yet another story, where an\u00a0unexpected revelation ruined a\u00a0seemingly happy family. A\u00a0woman, whose\u00a0husband\u00a0turned out to\u00a0be\u00a0a\u00a0creep, was able to\u00a0discover his nasty deeds after she found a\u00a0tampon in\u00a0his car.\n Preview photo credit freepik \/ Freepik\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" But our today\u2019s heroine is\u00a0a\u00a0woman who accidentally revealed her husband\u2019s huge skeleton in\u00a0a\u00a0cupboard, and the shocking revelation doesn\u2019t let her sleep peacefully at\u00a0night.

\nAs\u00a0the kids were growing\u00a0up, Mark was becoming more and more distant from them, which became a\u00a0real problem in\u00a0the family, and\u00a0I was never able to\u00a0understand why Mark was behaving like this with the kids, and he\u00a0would never give me\u00a0any reasonable explanation about his behavior. He\u00a0only kept saying that\u00a0I was overthinking, and he\u00a0even advised me\u00a0to\u00a0visit a\u00a0doctor because of\u00a0my\u00a0anxiety about his parenting style.\u201d\nRosa\u2019s in-laws had also behaved in\u00a0a\u00a0very strange way.\n\n
\n
Rosa overheard a\u00a0talk between Mark and his mother and made a\u00a0shocking discovery.\n\n
\n
\nShe was saying, \u2019You did\u00a0it, my\u00a0boy! One more year and you\u2019ll be\u00a0a\u00a0free and rich man, you won\u2019t need to\u00a0pretend anymore and you\u2019ll be\u00a0finally happy! And you won\u2019t have to\u00a0work any single day anymore, no\u00a0more burdens and no\u00a0more misery for you, my\u00a0son! I\u2019m so\u00a0happy for you!\u2019\u201d\n
\nHe\u00a0went pale, and then he\u00a0showed me\u00a0the papers that stated that my\u00a0dad wanted a\u00a0man to\u00a0live in\u00a0a\u00a0happy marriage with me\u00a0for 15\u00a0years and have 3\u00a0kids together and if\u00a0this man fulfilled this requirement, he\u2019ll become the heir of\u00a0my\u00a0dad\u2019s money. My\u00a0dad didn\u2019t mean Mark exactly, but my\u00a0MIL immediately used this chance to\u00a0make Mark a\u00a0wealthy man. This explained everything to\u00a0me, including Mark\u2019s and his parents\u2019 attitude to\u00a0the kids.\u201d\n
\nBut I\u2019m not going to\u00a0look back and the only thing\u00a0I want now is\u00a0justice for everyone, and\u00a0I know that Mark and his mother will get what they deserve very, very soon.\u201d\n\n
