The mother did the right thing. How could a woman live with such a low down liar?! This son shows such dignity.

Poor mom :( Cheaters are the worst! They undermine the value/self worth of the person they are married to.

What a selfish stepmother! 😒<br>Your father turned against you, excluding out of the estate? Cruel.<br>I don't like the way the father said, "Why did you talk about this?" Excuse me, why did you betray your family? How dare he. He didn't want you to exist and erased you. The other woman is very mean to take everything from his legitimate family. Unbelievable!<br>He had to work very hard but he choose that, didn't he.

Mike is an amazing man. Total respect, I certainly couldn’t be so kind.
