My Stepdaughter Helped My Husband Hide His Affair, So I Took Her College Fund. Now They’re Begging Me To Forgive Them.
--------
In this story, the narrator (42F) had been married to her husband, David (44M), for 10 years and helped raise his daughter, Stacy (17F), from his previous relationship. She always treated Stacy as her own daughter, never suspecting any issues in their family life. However, six days ago, she received a shocking email from one of David’s coworkers, revealing that he had been cheating on her for seven months. Worse, Stacy had known about the affair and helped her father cover it up in exchange for gifts.

Devastated by both the affair and Stacy’s betrayal, the narrator decided to pack her things and leave. She bought a luxury car using money she had saved for Stacy’s college fund, deciding that Stacy no longer deserved it. After leaving, she was bombarded with messages from David and Stacy, apologizing and begging for forgiveness, but she refused to engage. David, in particular, accused her of being selfish for taking away Stacy’s college fund, saying that Stacy didn’t deserve to suffer for his actions.

Conflicted but still heartbroken, the narrator eventually consulted a lawyer and filed for divorce. She stood firm in her decision to withhold Stacy’s college fund, arguing that Stacy was being punished for her own betrayal, not her father’s actions. David and Stacy continued trying to reach out, but the narrator ignored them, focusing on moving forward.

Over time, Stacy sent a heartfelt apology, admitting she had been manipulated by David and hadn’t fully understood the impact of her actions. Though the narrator initially struggled to trust her, she eventually opened up to the idea of repairing their relationship, although she maintained that Stacy would not receive the college fund.

In the end, the narrator moved into her own apartment, began therapy, and continued with the divorce proceedings. She started corresponding with Stacy again, but emphasized that rebuilding trust would take time. While the future of their relationship remains uncertain, the narrator is hopeful that healing and reconciliation may be possible.
