The woman thinks she’s in a quite big mess because of the situation with the diary.
An anonymous woman, 36, has written a letter to our editorial. She wanted to share her unbelievable story and seek advice from our readers in an uncomfortable situation she’s experiencing now.
She began her letter, saying, «Hello, dear Alternatech, there’s quite a mess I’ve gotten myself into, so I really need advice from other people who’ll read this.»
The woman went on with the story, saying, «My MIL passed 3 weeks ago and the whole family has been grieving a lot. My husband of 10 years, my SIL and FIL have all been taking her death really hard. MIL and I had a kind of amicable relationship. We for sure weren’t at each other’s throats, but we also weren’t the best of friends.»
The story of the woman goes on, as she mentions how she found her MIL’s secret diary. She said, «My father-in-law asked me to sort through his wife’s things after the funeral, and I agreed to do it. A week ago, I was sorting MIL’s things and going through everything, and then I got to a very old diary of hers, I believe it was started back in the 80s.»
The woman couldn’t resist the temptation to read the diary.
The woman goes on with her story, saying, «I know it’s absolutely my fault for being so nosy about other people’s private things. But I just didn’t know what exactly it was, and this old diary looked very different from anything else my MIL would’ve owned.»
Then, the woman started reading the diary and many things surprised her from the very start.
She said, «In this book, she wrote that she had trouble with her eldest daughter and described how she was acting at the time. This surprised me to the core, because my SIL is the youngest in the family and the timeline also didn’t match.»
The woman made a shocking revelation about her MIL’s life.
The woman goes on, saying, «It turns out that my mother-in-law had another child. And she was married to an entirely different person other than my father-in-law. This would’ve been an ordinary thing to me, but MIL always boasted about only being married once. She was always saying that FIL was the only husband for her, her beloved since their early childhood, and her partner of a lifetime.»
The woman revealed, «MIL talked about how her eldest kid never listens to her and that her and her ex got fed up. It was her ex-husband who convinced MIL to send their daughter to one of those ’tough love’ boot-camps. MIL wrote that it was the worst thing she had ever done in her life. Her daughter came back ’even worse than before.’ She confessed that they tried to work things out, but her daughter ran away, and she hadn’t seen her since.»
The woman’s MIL kept this all a secret, and the woman revealed that she blamed her ex-husband for all of this and finally divorced him. In the back of the book, there was a copy of her daughter’s birth certificate and a picture of her as a teen.
The woman is desperate about what to do with the truth she discovered.
