A Hidden Message In My Mom Phone Reveled Her Darkest Secret

hello my name is Quinn and I want to tell you about the time my mother and stepfather got a divorce it was a really hard time for me and I don't like to think about it often but it's something that I feel like opening up about maybe then I can move on from it when I was really young like young enough not to even remember his face my father left us this left me in the care of my mother Rebecca she was a nice mother but distant we didn't do normal mother and daughter things but I guess that's because she really didn't know what she was supposed to do with me she had me when she was in her late teens and was still learning how to be a mother after my father left I think my mom did her best but we were barely getting by I grew up understanding that we needed to save anything that we could and always be thankful for the little food that we had it was hard and sometimes we didn't have heat at home so we'd bundle up tight wearing winter clothes at night my mom was distant for the most part never mean to me but showing affection wasn't really her strongest quality so by the time I turned nine and was old enough to look after myself that's what I did I had to make my own meals do my own homework and even look after my mom when she got home from work it wasn't a great life but I got used to it then it all changed my mom started dating a new guy Billy she didn't bring him round at first but when I finally met him I saw that he looked a bit older than her though my mom was happy so I was happy too a couple of months went by and they're dating finally tipped over into marriage I didn't think anything of it back then I didn't know that their relationship was moving fast I just saw how happy they were and that they loved each other after the marriage we moved into his house it was amazing I had my own room which was bigger than our old living room I ran around and was so happy Billy even took me out to the store with him and mom so that I could pick out my own bed it was big with fairies decorated on the headboard then we went to shopping and out to the amusement park when it was just me and mom I wasn't able to do all of these things so having a family day actually brought me to tears seeing me crying Billy picked me up and care me through the park showing me other games and buying me a funnel cake it was amazing years passed and I loved our new family my stepdad and I grew really close every time he'd have free time from work we would all do something as a family we need to go to the park and sit around for a picnic go to the planetarium where he'd point out all of the planets and constellations telling me about them Billy told me once he never had a family growing up so doing all of these things with us was what he dreamed about doing when he was a kid I couldn't ask for a better father everything seems so perfect but that changed around the time I was 14 as me and my stepdad grew closer I thought nothing could break our bond but one day after I got home from school I saw my mom crying in the kitchen I walked up to her and asked what was wrong she hugged me tight until the sobbing stopped then she told me about my real stepdad she told me how Billy would act nice and everything was okay when I was around but when I left that's when his real personality would come out he would yell at her if anything was out of place in the house then belittle her by calling her names and telling her how worthless she was without him I couldn't believe it with each word that my mom said I could feel my heart break I thought the world of Billy he was a person that I looked up to and wanted to be like when I grew up a nice caring person who does things for others without hesitation all of it was a lie my mother wiped her face begging me not to tell him what she said she didn't want to lie to me but she was also stuck not knowing what to do I smiled at her and promised over the next couple of weeks I didn't even want to be around Billy anymore I would make any excuse I could to get out of family events and when he suggested we spend time like we used to I declined I could tell that he was confused but I didn't care I didn't want anything to do with someone who would treat my mom like that one day Billy decided to insist on us going out for a surprise when we arrived at the amusement park I lost it I could remember all of the good times I felt originally when I was a little kid and to be brought back and remind of who he really was infuriated me I told them that I didn't want to be there Billy put on a smile and said if I give it a try he'd buy me all the funnel cakes that I wanted I screamed that I didn't want anything from him and turned away my mom calmed me down and I decided to go along with it for her days later my mom came to me and told me that she was seeking a divorce she said that she couldn't put up with it anymore and that she didn't want me to be angry anymore either I was happy for her she asked me to sit in on the divorce proceedings and comments on my stepdad she told me it would help and make sure he doesn't try to take advantage of her I was happy to agree I wanted to help my mom no matter what one night I couldn't sleep so I went downstairs for a glass of water and saw my mom stepping into her shoes it was pretty late so I was wondering where she was headed before I could ask though she was out the back door it was weird but maybe she needed some fresh air away from Billy it was the only thought that came to mind I looked at the window but she was gone I thought she may have just stepped out for a bit but it looked like she went for a walk instead my mom must have really been stressed out about the divorce or at least that's what I thought the next night I couldn't sleep again this time it was out of curiosity where did my mom go and was she really okay I snuck out of bed and down the stairs to my surprise there was my mom again putting on her shoes and out the door I had to know what she was doing with my slippers on I walked out the door and saw my mom creeping around to the side of the house she was walking fast like she was determined and I tried hard to keep up that's when I saw it my mom was walking down the sidewalk until she came across a parked car she opened the door and got inside the passenger side there was a man waiting as she sat down she gave him a passionate kiss before they drove off I was shocked as I walked back to the house the next morning I woke up and it was like nothing happened my stepdad was sitting at the kitchen table my mom was standing by the fridge and they both greeted me I tried to forget what I saw but I couldn't I even tried to come up with something that would make it make sense but nothing did I couldn't get it out of my head and I needed answers the next time my mom got up and went into the other room I grabbed her phone and checked the messages from the time she left the house in the texts there was one number from that time a guy named William I read through her backlog and my jaw almost hit the floor there were texts from months ago all talking about my dad me and her life it talked about how she was using my stepdad for his money and how she was using me to control him she knew that we were close so she made up a fake story to drive us apart the newest text talks about the money she'd get from the divorce and how she couldn't wait to be with a mystery man I was sick I knew I didn't have much time so forwarded the most important text to my phone and deleted the evidence I couldn't believe what my mom was doing but I didn't know what to do about it even though she used me lied to me and tried to manipulate me she was still my mother the woman who raised me so even though I wasn't proud of it I kept quiet for the next couple of weeks I played the nice daughter my mom was still faking pain from how my stepdad treated her and I kept my distance from him for a different reason now because I was ashamed then came the sit-down my mom and I got dressed up to head to the attorney's office by the time we made it to the office I was a little nervous I knew why I was there but it was still going to be hard when we walked into the room my stepdad was shocked to see me I guess my mom wanted it to be a surprise but I sat down trying not to look at him the proceedings started with the lawyers breaking everything each side wanted unsurprisingly my mom was asking for a lot then it was her turn to talk and each word made me cringe she started with the same basic lies that she told me but it was what she said after that that I couldn't believe it she said how he beat her wouldn't let her out of his sight held her prisoner in the house and so many horrible lies I could feel my patients start to burst as I looked over to my stepdad who looked astounded and sad I tried tugging on her dress to get her to stop but she brushed me off I couldn't take it anymore I stood up and screamed shut up she turned to me saying how they needed to hear the truth and that's when I lost it I pulled out my cell phone and pulled up the text from my mom's phone if you want to hear the truth how about this I started talking about how I read the messages and that I knew what she was really doing I could see her going pale by the end there was not much else to say my mom was a proven liar and my stepdads attorney had a field day with the evidence when it was all over I walked up to my stepdad and apologized about how I treated him I felt tears on my face thinking that he would hate me but he just gave me a hug he apologized to me for having to go through all of that alone sadly that was the last time I saw him when the divorce went through my mom was kicked out and I followed we moved into a small apartment far away from him I knew my stepdad asked to be in my life but my mom refused to let me have anything to do with him I was hurt but I don't regret what I did and I certainly don't regret what happened even though I don't see my stepdad anymore I wish him nothing but the best it was only for a short time but he was the best dad I could ask for what did you
