My husband left with his girlfriend, leaving me with $20,000 in debt. Then, my 10-year-old son said.

please ensure the loan repayment will you while I was at work an unexpected email popped up upon hastily reaching out to him Greg calmly began to explain oh sorry about that I've fallen for someone else and decided to start a new life with her furthermore he revealed his plan to take the luxury car recently purchased in my name with a loan despite my attempts to dissuade him my husband ignored me abruptly ended the call and became unreachable in the end Greg disappeared with his mistress leaving behind a substantial debt as a mother to our 10-year-old son I never envisioned such an unfair situation I found myself at a loss unsure of what to do my mind going blank at 35 years old my name is Hannah and my husband greay is the same age we were a family of three including our intelligent 10-year-old son Ryan Ryan had displayed remarkable intelligence from a young age reading papers on the computer and seeking my opinion on complex topics in contrast Greg was unstable never holding down a steady job despite my full-time job and concerns about our future Greg had recently maintained a stable income for 3 years lately Greg spoke of making memories as a family leading us to decide on buying a $35,000 camper van however due to Greg's inability to pass the finance company's Loan review I ended up taking the loan for the car on the eagerly awaited delivery day of the camper van I received an Abrupt email from Greg stating he would graciously take the delivered van since the loan was in my name and I would handle the repayments confused I called my husband immediately only to hear him confess well I've fallen in love with another woman and decided to date her I intended it to be just a flame but it turned serious so I'm thinking of starting over my life with her bye he mentioned the divorce papers we had discussed during a previous fight declared he would file them and unilaterally ended the call this exchange marked the first time I realized I have been betrayed by Greg a shocking blow subsequent attempts to contact him yielded no response when I returned home from work and checked the drawer the divorce papers should have been they were already gone leaving me burdened with a significant debt from a $35,000 carlone despite my repeated attempts to reach out to my husband through emails and calls I never received a reply Ryan noticing my unusual behavior came to check on me with concern after dinner mom what's wrong you haven't been eating much lately are you okay ah yeah maybe I'm just tired ah ah when people lie they look up to the right lying is bad I've noticed dad hasn't been home for 3 days did something happened between you two startled by Ryan's sharp words I took a deep breath to calm myself feeling that I could no longer hide the truth I decided to tell Ryan everything I see it's just like Dad to do something like that aren't you sad no I kind of understood from how things were going Ryan seemingly foreseeing the future appeared unconcerned about our parents divorce but I knew he must feel sad about it in his heart while silently apologizing to Ryan in my mind I worked desperately trying not to think about the Dreadful events however my body was honest and gradually my health deteriorated there was a training session planned at work that day but I couldn't stand up and ended up squatting down sorry I can't stand up right now I I need to take a break I heard my colleagu voices full of concern but I couldn't respond and collapsed when I regained Consciousness I found myself in a hospital room I received a diagnosis from the doctor that I needed detailed examinations and I was admitted to the hospital Hana thought I feel so pathetic it's supposed to be just emotional stress looking at the IV drip in my arm and the white ceiling of the hospital room tears naturally started to flow at that moment Ryan who is usually calm rushed into the room with an extremely worried look prompting me to quickly wipe away my tears mom what happened is it serious you're not going to die right of course not I wouldn't leave my dear son alone Ah that's good really I was called by the school teacher and told that you were taken to the hospital I was so shocked my heart nearly stopped Ryan ran is usually mature for his age but he's still only 10 I felt a strong resolve to get better for his sake but my condition was worse than I thought and I was diagnosed with a serious illness the doctor advised you should have surgery as soon as possible please make a decision quickly following the doctor's advice I underwent surgery and by the time I was discharged it had been a month since GRE had left when I returned home and opened the mailbox I found a demand letter for the car loan payment Hannah thought the repayment should have been automatically deducted from my account in panic I checked the account balance with my cash card and the balance originally $20,000 was now only $33.90 Hannah thought Greg did this I want to ask him to return the money but I can't contact him what should I do since I don't have the camper van I can't sell it after Greg left everything seemed to be going in a bad Direction and my move sank deeper seeing me saddened by my series of misfortunes Ryan put his hand on my forehead you look pale are you feeling sick again you don't seem to have a fever though I'm fine physically but you see your father not only took the car but also all the money we had saved I can't work it due to my physical condition and now we have no money I'm at a loss I see then I'll deliver newspapers and I'll search the internet to see if there's any work I can do encouraged by my 10-year-old son I told myself that it wasn't the time to be down sorry for worrying you I can't afford to be weak I'll change my mindset and try to do whatever I can I said smiling at him Ryan also smiled back and then said something unexpected let's plan how to get the car back from Dad how can we do that the camper van is in your name right yes but what about it then maybe we can Ryan suggested an idea that I couldn't even imagine I had never thought such an idea could exist also I have no idea where your father is then let's check on my phone a month ago once when we went hiking as a family surprisingly Ryan who is usually very reliable felt lost at that time we bought a kid cell phone on suggestion and install the GPS app on it which both Greg and I could access with this app I can see where Dad is in real time and he's been moving around a lot oh is that so but what if we find him and he just says something vague and escapes again as I pondered this Ryan smiled and made an intriguing suggestion don't worry I've already taken precautions what did you just say to my astonishment Ryan had acted independently while I was in the hospital achieving something unbelievable I thought I can't believe such a smart child came from me understanding Ryan's words I was simply amazed he had even caught wind of Greg's mistress all right let's teach Dad who betrayed us a lesson okay let's start the plan right away together my son and I prepared for that moment Hannah thought with Ryan by myself died I'm Invincible Bring It On anywhere anytime 3 days later my phone rang ah it's me please I need your help oh who might this be don't play D it's your husband obviously I'm being questioned by the police about you at this rate they might ask me to come to the police station voluntarily help me out oh is that so just wait a moment then I immediately went with my son to where Greg was and to my surprise it was a forest park near our house where camping was possible Greg was being questioned by the police in front of his car looking bewildered feeling pathetic I sighed and told the police we needed to have a talk as a couple and asked them to leave for a while at that time Greg seemed uncomfortable being watched by the people around us and urged Ryan and me to get into the car inside the car Greg's mistress was sitting cross-legged laring at us but that was no longer important sorry about that thanks for coming but why did the police suddenly show up at my place I don't get it that's because I filed a report about the missing camper van what why would you do that it's obvious isn't it my car was stolen Greg foolishly thinking that actions between spouses can't be criminal was saying nonsensical things but the world isn't that Nave you know you filed for divorce remember forgot so we are strangers now and are driving a stranger's car without permission that's a crime Ryan figured all this out typical sharp as ever at kid but I didn't steal the car I just borrowed it for a bit oh is that so well I'd like to use my car now so could you return it that would be really helpful as I reached out my hand asking Greg to return the keys he reluctantly handed them over after confirming it was returned Ryan quietly started talking hey why did you abandon your family and choose to play around with this woman caught off guard by his son's unexpected question Greg was flustered and awkwardly scratched his head seeing this Greg's mistress chuckled smugly and started talking it's because I'm more attractive than your mother look at me you can see it right he fell head of over heels for me and decided to leave his family quiet I didn't ask you old lady dad you answer Mandy was silenced by Ryan's Stern tone but Greg remained quiet if you can't explain that's fine I'll just have the police come back and arrest you wait hold on okay okay I'll talk Mandy it turns out joined Greg's company 3 months ago they were attracted to each other and became involved at the welcome party for new employees later it was discovered that Mandy was pregnant and Greg decided to start a new life with her leaving us behind why did you take the camper van I quit my job and thought about selling the car for money but it seems like you were using it quite a bit weren't you I thought it was a waste to sell it right away so we decided to go on a trip wait how do you know all this remember when Ryan got lost after that as a precaution we bought him him a kid cell phone and install the GPS app did you forget we installed it on your phone too so I knew where you were all this time by the way I later found out from Ryan that he had pretended to get lost during our family hike because he wanted a cell phone I was amazed at Ryan's ability to think and act so strategically I suspected something was off with Dad so I came up with this plan to monitor his actions you really are a terrifying child I will never become an adult like you Dad who betrays important people without a second thought Greg faced with the hard truth Ryan told was a pitiful adult unable to offer any rebuttal in contrast seeing Ryan only 10 but able to think and speak his mind firmly gave me a sense of strength as a mother I felt I couldn't lose especially in settling things properly also return the $20,000 you withdrew from my account right now that was our joint property as a couple I don't have to return it no it's not that the money was what I saved little by little since I was single after all you always quit your jobs Midway so we hardly ever saved money together did we I was appalled to hear that the $20,000 had been squandered by Greg and his mistress it was the moment I felt relieved about divorcing him so that's how it is but if you stole and use the car and my money that's going to be a serious crime what I just sent the police away so it's not their business anymore right I only said we would talk I have no intention of withdrawing the complaint I must add the theft of my money to the report mom should I call the police now I can do it with just one button on my phone Mandy Greg's mistress had been watching our conversation but quickly tried to get out of the camper van at that moment she let out a scream that echoed around the reason was that outside the car door Mandy's parents were standing there faces red with anger about to explode in Fury startled she stepped back as her parents yelled at her ah I'm sorry don't be so angry but why have you here Mom and Dad I called your parents beforehand what why the truth was during my Hospital stay Ryan had visited Greg's office and tearfully told them my dad left the house with a woman we don't know and my mom collapsed seeing Ryan's sorrowful and frail State the people at Greg's office suspected Mandy who had left the company with Greg and gave Ryan her parents address Greg and Mandy have been overly friendly at the office and there were photos showing them together at the welcome party for New employes looking like a couple after learning from the office people that you commuted from your parents house Mandy's parents were standing there faces red with anger I went there with your photo and your parents came out when I visited then I told them everything that had happened so today I contacted Mandy's parents and asked them to wait nearby for a while how could you do this to me the worst I don't want to hear that from you that's my line by the way your stomach seems quite big when is the baby due in 3 months what wait a minute that doesn't add up with when you met my husband you two met only 3 months ago BR what's going on it's not time for the baby to be born yet Greg Hearing this for the first time stared at Mandy eyes wide wait what does that mean are you stupid don't you get it it takes about 9 months from conception to birth which means the child she's carrying isn't yours you're so foolish what do you mean Mandy have you been deceived leaving me ah I Almost Got Away With It can't help it now that I'm caught you're so Nave you can't see through lies at all really a fool don't mock me my whole life is ruined because of you what were you thinking gr and Mandy started an ugly argument but nobody intervened letting them have it out meanwhile we contacted the police again to explain the situation as it began to get dark the Forest Park was brightly lit by the red Lights of the police cars no really I was wrong I was truly wrong I'm sorry I'll work hard and never cheat again so please just don't arrest me dad people don't change that easily especially lazy people like you exactly Ryan's right I can't trust you at all reflect on your actions and pay for your crimes at the police station if I get arrested I won't be able to pay back the money is that okay with you I don't mind pay me back after you've atoned for your sins take your time don't worry I've already found you a place to work let's see there's Ryan's child support plus the $220,000 you stole from me I'm not sure how much it will all add up to but you'll work and pay it all back I had one last thing to say to Mandy the mistress you might think you're just an onlooker but don't forget you're an accomplice to Greg's theft be prepared for that when I told them that Mandy would have to pay if Greg couldn't return the stolen money she shivered in fear Mandy asked her parents for help but they refused saying we disown a daughter who causes trouble for others thus Greg and Mandy were taken away in a police car together thanks to Ryan's smart strategy we were able to punish Greg and his mistress Mandy though they were released from detention soon after they faced a hefty payment to me through a lawyer I claimed $20,000 in Damages additionally I made Greg agree to pay $500 a month in child support for Ryan I introduced Greg to a subcontracting Factory of the company I work for the support and other charges I claimed from Greg would be deducted from his salary and paid into my account I also sold the camper van and was freed from the auto loan since then my health has improved remarkably and I am now energetic committed to my job Ryan has been actively helping with household chores and errands I want to keep moving forward strongly so that Ryan can pursue the path he loves without giving up
