Tom, Layla’s husband, took a family vacation every year for twelve years without her. He always said it was because of his mother’s “rule” that in-laws couldn’t go. Layla finally found the truth about her absence after years of being hurt and wondering why she hadn’t been there.

Tom always left Layla and their two kids at home because, “Layla, you know my mom doesn’t let in-laws on the trip.” But Layla found social media pictures from Tom’s vacation last year that showed him with Sadie, his brother’s wife. This excuse fell apart. Layla was shocked when Sadie told her, “I’m still sad you couldn’t come because you didn’t have anyone to watch the kids.” Layla was shocked by what she heard.

Layla confronted her mother-in-law, Denise, to find out what was going on. Denise denied that there was a “no in-laws” rule. She told him, “My husband and sons take a vacation every year, and I’ve never been invited.” This proved him wrong.

When Layla found out that Tom had been lying to her for a long time, it broke her trust and hurt their family relationships for a long time.
