When people we love and care about betray us, it can hurt so much that it hurts us physically. The main character today is a woman who can relate to this because her husband was abusive to her over and over again. In an emotional letter, the woman told us about her life. She couldn’t hide how badly she felt about how wrong she was to forgive her husband and even help him through his worst times. Let’s learn more about what’s going on with her.

Donna sent us a letter that made us cry.

Donna, 35, was going through a tough time in her life that was making her feel bad, so she asked our readers for help. In her sad letter, the woman told us her story. Every word of it sounded like a real plea for help. The woman said, “Hi!” as she opened her letter. Before recently, I had been living a very happy life and couldn’t even imagine that my marriage would become so trashy and hurtful. It may sound crazy, and at times I also wouldn’t believe that my husband, the man I thought I knew everything about and who I trusted so much, would become the personification of evil to me.

She said, “My husband Derek and I have been happily married for more than 10 years.” We make a good living, have two kids, and live in a big, nice house. We were living a happy life together until that day when I saw Derek’s real face. It shocked me so much.
“Everything started with a normal business trip,” the woman said. Our family is used to Derek being away most of the time because he works long hours and travels a lot for work. Like always, I helped him pack his things, drove him to the airport, and kissed him goodbye before he left on a business trip. He told me he would miss me a lot and asked me to call him as often as I could.

A normal business trip went very badly wrong for some reason.

Here’s what else Donna says: “After he left, I called him several times.” I called him three to five times a day to see if he was okay and to find out what he was doing. It was normal for our family. I decided to do it again this time, but to my surprise, he didn’t answer when I called him several times.
The woman began to worry about her husband. She wrote, “Right away, my mind went to the worst possible outcome, and I began to freak out.” Many times I sent him a message, and I could see that he saw it, but he never replied. I was mad and a little calmed down when I saw that he was online. I still had hope that he was okay. I was shocked when, a few days later, the police called to tell me that my husband had been in a car accident and was being flown to the hospital by helicopter.

When Donna rushed to the hospital to check on her husband, she told someone something bad.

“So I rushed to the hospital, and Derek went into surgery,” Donna said. He had broken a lot of bones. After that, he came out of surgery but didn’t wake up. The doctors found that he had had several strokes and a very bad brain injury. They told Donna that they didn’t think her husband would ever wake up. If he did wake up, they couldn’t promise that he would ever fully recover.

Donna wrote, “I felt so guilty that I couldn’t remember what I was texting Derek when he was in an accident. I didn’t see his messages because I thought his silence was rude.” That’s why I chose to look at his phone. Right away, a conversation popped up between my husband and another woman on a social networking site. He used a different name there. Because he had to travel a lot for work, these women were all over his phone.

Donna said, “Derek had also been using a lot of dating apps with this fake name.” It made me feel so bad because the kids still needed their dad and he was in this situation. Besides that, you can’t just stop loving someone right away. That’s why I chose to stay by his side no matter what.

Soon after, there was another disappointment.

“Derek woke up after 40 days in a coma,” Donna said. As soon as he woke up in the hospital, I told him I knew he had been cheating on me. I just showed him a picture of one of those women and asked, “Who is this?” Because Derek was still very lost, he didn’t give me the right answer.
But as time went on, he finally admitted that he had cheated on me. He said he was sorry and swore that he would never do it again. Because things were so bad, I chose to stay by my cheating husband’s side while he got better. I taught him how to walk and eat. To get him to talk to other women again, I also taught him how to use his phone.

Wendy wrote, “Derek had to go to a rehab center every day to help him get better.” I could only see him on the weekends because it was out of state. When I went to see him one day, I looked through his phone again because it was clear I couldn’t trust him so quickly. I also found out that he was still talking to all of these women.

“My husband didn’t even try to hide it anymore,” Donna said. I don’t know if he didn’t know how to hide it because he had a serious brain injury or because he didn’t think he had to. I don’t know what to do now because it’s clear that his mind is foggy and he might be acting this way just because of that. However, I am deeply hurt and can’t help but think of the divorce. What should I do?”
