Does Daughter Share Love Letters From Dad’s Mistress
Her father had passed away, but now one daughter wants to know if she should share the love letters from her dad’s mistress? That’s what came up this morning on The Mike & Carla Morning Show during a session of “group therapy”! But you have to hear the entire story before you actually give us your advice.
The mom and dad had been married for over 50 years in a loving relationship. The dad had passed away over a year ago, however, the daughter going through his things found something. It was a box load of letters from his mistress! A woman the daughter thought of as a “second” mom. Someone the family traveled with, knew and loved all these years. But it turns out dad and this woman were having an affair.
What to do with these love letters from a mistress!
With mom in her 80s and still grieving over the loss of her husband, the daughter needed to know. Does she keep these love letters a secret? Does she show her mother these letters? Or did mom already know what had been going on for years and just never said anything?
It was a situation that The M&C Morning Show knew others could relate to and maybe offer some advice. So, the phone and text lines blew up right off the bat. Some saying that showing the letters would do nothing but harm to the already grieving widow. Others thought that showing the letters and being honest might give the mom closure in some way.
Some listeners, who have gone through something like this, were the ones that said nothing positive would happen showing the letters. However, on the flipside, if the mom found out from another source and then knew the daughter knew all this time…what then? Some thought, her mother would think, “…how could you keep something like this from me?”
Listening to the segment and see what you would do…and let us know!
