I\u2019ve been married to my husband, Tommy, for six years, helping raise his twins, Jack and Lily, since their mom left when they were eight. When their biological mom, Maggie, returned recently, the twins started calling me Carol instead of Mom. \u201cIt was their right to call me by my first name,\u201d I thought, but things got worse as they became disrespectful and blamed me for their parents\u2019 separation.\n
Three weeks ago, after a heated argument where the twins called me names and accused me falsely, they left to live with Maggie. Tommy didn\u2019t back me up, so I canceled our planned vacation to Disney World. The twins were furious and called me \u201cjealous, selfish, and horrible.\u201d When Tommy didn\u2019t support me, I left to stay in a hotel.\n

Despite their apologies, Tommy hadn\u2019t asked for forgiveness. I decided to divorce Tommy but told the kids they could visit me anytime. \u201cSorry, Tommy.
