After keeping a dark secret for 16 years, a woman has finally admitted to a horrific past experience that has weighed her down with immense guilt. She explained that she had secretly become pregnant by her daughter's ex-boyfriend and aborted the pregnancy in secret. The confession, which she made on Reddit, has left netizens stunned, especially because her daughter later reconciled with the same man and is now married to him.
The lady, then in her mid-50s, described how she was 38 years old at the time and struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. Her daughter, who was 18, was also seeing a 24-year-old fellow named Harry, who was an addict like his partner. This only made things more challenging for the mother.
Later, her daughter broke up with Harry and moved on. But the woman was the next to turn Harry's attention to. Initially, she defended herself, but after being manipulated by drugs—cocaine, in particular—she gave in, and there was a clandestine affair that lasted for months.
Later, the woman discovered that she was pregnant with Harry's baby. She was full of guilt and fear, so she opted to terminate the pregnancy without informing anyone, even Harry. She never said a word, carrying her secret to the grave. The guilt weighed heavily on her, but she wanted to hide the truth from her daughter.
Two years afterward, the woman's daughter, Harry's former mistress, rekindled her affair with him. Already, he had reformed himself and forgotten his shady past. The woman lived in terror that what she had done would be found out, and thus she met Harry and insisted that he promise to never speak of the past. He did so, and they maintained their secret.
16 years later, today, Harry is married to the woman's daughter and has a child. But all these years later, the woman still lives with the weight of what she has done. She admitted that there is some tension between her and Harry—a discomforting silence that could never be dispelled.
