The Betrayal That Has Cut You Deep Part 2 Elaine Elle Espinosa ©️ 2026 all rights reserved

In my mother's case, it was very devastating for her and for the entire extended family as well. Instead of these mistresses finding a suitable man of their own and making something of themselves, they would rather take possession of someone else's husband and live off his income.

These so-called mistresses have an impaired way of rationalizing their actions, and I quote: "She made something of herself," as if these mistresses accomplished something when, in reality, they accomplished nothing. They only created destruction and manipulation.

In all honesty, she had a blueprint of her own. She did not care what the family would think or what consequences her actions would have in the future. Yet she still managed to completely break up her oldest sister's marriage.

For decades, my mom could not process in her mind the scenario she had witnessed. Yet she was the one who suffered the most from this betrayal in their so-called marriage.

Sometimes, letting female friends or female family members into your home can be very risky and dangerous because, no matter how close a family may be, there is always one person who is willing to take the...
