Fraud

With tears in her eyes, Rebecca said, “He had been lying to me for YEARS, and my credit was unfortunately ruined because of it. I had no idea how easy it was to open credit cards and take out personal loans in your spouse’s name. I thought I had stayed on top of my bills, but had no idea he was secretly hiding things from me over the course of our 7-year marriage.” 

False Story

On further investigation, Rebecca found out that he had not only lied about the money but about his whole character, “He lied about being in the Marine Corps, he lied about his education and his job. I had been living nothing but lies for almost a decade of my life!” 

Blamed Herself

Rebecca felt like a fool who had been ignorant all through her married life about who her husband actually was. He had been taking undue advantage of her love for him and had been using her money for his own personal needs. But the most painful thing was yet to unfold itself. 

Shattering News

Rebecca’s husband had been married to another woman, and not just that, he even had another daughter and Rebecca was unaware of this. She said, “I thought to myself, ‘How could life be so cruel? How could I be so dumb?'” 

Questioning

When Rebecca confronted her fraud husband, he abandoned her and their daughter without giving any clarifications or answers about anything. Rebecca and her daughter had been left alone in the middle of a crisis, but life had a very big and drastic change in store for them. 

Next Step

After Rebecca realized that she and daughter were on their own now, she became strong and came back to her senses. She rented a hotel room and straightaway went to a supermarket to buy clothes and toiletries that would help them sustain for a few days till she could figure out something else.
