My Husband Forbade Me from Visiting My Mom When She Got Seriously Ill –

After ten years of marriage, I thought I knew Arnold, who had charmed my family with respect for our culture. He promised a life honoring both our backgrounds, vowing to support my aging parents and move back to my home country. I left everything to build a life with him in the U.S., only to face betrayal. His mother, Martha, belittled me as a “foreigner,” and Arnold dismissed her cruelty. When my mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer, Arnold refused to let me visit, citing costs, while secretly using our joint savings for a fishing boat.

I planned my revenge. I documented every financial contribution I made, consulted a lawyer, and waited for the boat’s delivery. Pretending to celebrate, I took the kids to the airport instead of a friend’s, spending five days with my recovering mother. My lawyer served Arnold divorce papers, exposing his dismissive texts. I won full custody, sold the boat, and used the money for my mother’s treatment and my kids’ bilingual school. Arnold lost everything, learning that betraying love has consequences
