Colleen thought she knew everything about her husband, Michael, until she accidentally overheard his therapy session. His shocking confession revealed he had two other families, shattering their 12-year marriage.
That afternoon, Colleen was doing laundry while on the phone with Michael. He didn’t hang up properly, and she overheard him confessing to his therapist about his double life. He admitted to having two other families, one in California and another in New York, with children from both.
Devastated, Colleen confronted Michael that evening. Instead of revealing her discovery directly, she fabricated a story about an affair to test him. Michael’s reaction was explosive, accusing her of betrayal. Colleen then revealed she knew about his secret families, leaving Michael stunned and defeated.
Colleen decided to leave, taking their children, Shawn and Milly, with her. A week later, she sent Michael divorce papers. As she tucks her children into bed each night, she wonders how to rebuild their lives. But one thing is certain—she’ll never let anyone betray them again.
