My perfect son-in-law left my daughter totally out of the blue[/caption]

I thought we were so lucky to have him. He was helpful and friendly.

He has his own kitchen and bathroom business which made a good living for him, our daughter and their three lovely girls.

He did lots of free work for us and I loved him just like my own son.

Then I get a text from my daughter to tell me he’d gone. Apparently he’d been sending sexy messages to other women.

He’s now with a woman much younger than my daughter who has a reputation for being a tramp.

I’m 58 and I’m more than upset. He was part of our family and his parents were too. But he’s not been in touch since. 

What made him hate us so much? I just don’t understand.

DEIDRE SAYS: He doesn’t hate you. I’m so sorry you’ve all been so hurt but it’s not about you. This was all about him.

Perhaps, given time, this may yet turn around. 

For the sake of the children you need to stay strong now and not speak ill of him in front of them.

For their sakes your daughter should encourage him to stay close to his children. 

My e-leaflet When Parents Fall Out can help.
