A 49-year-old Reddit user shared how her family became divided after a tense holiday dinner where her ex-husband, Jake, was exposed for his lack of involvement in their children’s lives. Jake, who had left her for his young assistant, Abigail, tried to maintain a façade of being a good father.
However, the truth came out when their daughter, Kyle, confronted him about missing family vacations and his absence from important moments. When Jake’s new family faced scrutiny, he blamed his ex-wife for the fallout, but she finally spoke up about his neglect, sparking further family tension.
