When I found out my husband, Alex Carter, had cheated, I broke down in tears. My mother-in-law, Linda Carter, watched coldly. "What are you crying for? It's not like he's leaving you. "Hold it together. That's your lot in life. "Who told you to let him slip away? Blame yourself. "He's a man. What did he do wrong? The real problem is that you're not generous enough." I never expected my usually kind mother-in-law to show this side of herself. She brushed it off with ease. "If I don't protect my son, who else should I protect? You're not family." She even bragged, "My fate's better than yours. I was never meant to suffer." Fine. If that was how it was, she shouldn't blame me for finding my father-in-law a new woman.
