‘My Husband Had An Online Affair With A Scam Artist & Gave Her Over $6k In Gift Cards’
In the latest Confessions roundup, readers reveal what they've had enough of, from idiotic philandering husbands to toxic workplaces.
Growing up, you probably heard your mom say on more than one occasion, “I’ve had it up to here!” Of course, *here* was an ever-evolving placeholder. And now that you’re a mom, that expression probably just hits different. You may have even uttered those same words. Because what your mom knew back then and you know now is this: When it comes to all of the stressors we deal with, the limit does not exist.
Some are right out in the open for everyone to see, like struggling to maintain your sanity during those sleep-deprived newborn days. Others are less visible to the naked eye, from wishing you could walk away from generational trauma or the loneliness you inevitably feel when you find out your partner is having an affair. These are the types of admissions from this week’s Confessional that have moms asking, “When is enough enough?” Keep reading to see if you can relate.
