Not every woman can say she has a loving and understanding mother-in-law who feels like a second mom. However, Amelie was lucky to have a mother-in-law who surpassed all expectations. While Amelie’s husband turned out to be unfaithful and dishonorable, her mother-in-law stood by her side. This wise and determined woman decided to teach her son and his mistress a harsh but well-deserved lesson—one they would never forget.
Amelie shared her emotional and controversial story on Reddit.
A 26-year-old woman named Amelie reached out to the Reddit community to share her shocking experience and seek opinions and advice about everything that has transpired.
She wrote, “My name is Amelie (26), and I have a 5-year-old son. My ex-husband (29) cheated on me with his co-worker, Bethany (28). I was two months pregnant with our second child when I found out that Bethany was going to have his baby. I miscarried, and my ex left to be with her. It has been two years since their child was born. Now, my mother-in-law has suddenly updated her will, and to my ex-husband’s shock, he will never be appreciated by his mother for what he has done to me.”
Amelie has discovered the true meaning of evil through her husband.
“My mother-in-law has been incredibly supportive of me and has had nothing to do with my ex or his mistress and their child—until a few months ago,” she shared.
Amelie expressed her love and gratitude for her mother-in-law, saying, “I adore my in-laws, and we’re extremely close. My mother-in-law and my parents are the best of friends. She loves me and her grandson more than anything. This infuriates my ex-husband’s affair partner. My in-laws cut contact with them immediately. Bethany was jealous that her child would never know the love of grandparents. At least her son has a father. This brings us to the problem.”
Amelie revealed, “Unfortunately, my mother-in-law has been very ill for a while, so she updated her will. My ex-husband was an only child, so he would have inherited everything. But now, my son will inherit her house, villa, and money. I will receive a large portion of her money and all of her belongings. Until my son turns 18, it will be held in my trust. If I pass before that, my parents will take care of it. They do not know this.”
Amelie’s ex and his affair partner were only after money.
“Once they caught wind of her being ill, my ex-husband begged for forgiveness. The mistress started being nice to her (after previously starting fights and calling her horrible names) and forced her to be around his baby. My mother-in-law is bedridden, but she says she wants to leave with a bang, so she’ll endure this. I haven’t encouraged her to do anything; this is her choice alone. They want her money, and her son thinks he’s still included in the will. He also believes his child will now be acknowledged by his grandmother and will receive money. However, my mother-in-law hasn’t actually said she’s forgiven them. She despises her son and his mistress for tearing our family apart. She wants to reward those who deserve it and get revenge at the same time.”
The will of the mother-in-law exposed the worst qualities of her son and his lover. Amelie explained, “The mistress keeps hinting about how her child will grow up and attend a great college (with money involved) whenever she’s around my mother-in-law. In fact, my mother-in-law’s niece (my cousin by marriage) overheard her on the phone discussing what wallpaper she wants in the dining room when she ‘moves in’ and how my mother-in-law has no taste whatsoever. She also mentioned how she’ll finally be able to take down pictures of my son once my ex owns the house.”
Now, Amelie feels that everyone is getting what they deserve. She wrote, “Too bad for her, everything will belong to my son. No changes will be made until my son turns 18. It’s his grandmother’s home, and he should be able to cherish it the way she decorated it. I’m not really allowed to tell anyone, and while this revenge will be satisfying, I’ll have to lose my mother-in-law. It’s a win-lose situation, and I dread the day she takes her last breath. She means a lot to me; I love her. She wants this for her grandson and has said she cannot rest until she knows her son and his mistress have been punished. She wants this because her childhood was also ruined due to her father and his affair partner. She wants my son to know he was loved and will always be loved. I hope he will always appreciate the great women in his life. I wish he had more time with his grandmother.”
Amelie added an edit to her post, explaining that her ex-husband’s mistress is quite rude. She shared, “The mistress would send me photos of her ultrasounds after I miscarried, either to me or my family. In the first envelope, she included a letter full of the nastiest things about me, my son, and my miscarried baby. She even tagged me on social media with an account I didn’t know about, inviting me to her baby shower. She has done many disgusting and hurtful things to me regarding my miscarried baby. People coming at me in the comments wouldn’t be as civil if they went through something like that. Ignoring her child is honestly the best option. I do not want my son to grow up with her son.”
Redditors flooded the comments with their emotional opinions and thoughts.
One user wrote, “I don’t know the laws in your country, but if he receives nothing, he may be able to contest the will, and if he wins, it will all go to him. You may want to look up the laws on contesting a will.”
To which Amelie responded, “He’s getting $100 and a cuckoo clock that frightened him.
