A woman ran to her bedroom crying after her stepdaughter made a shocking statement. When her husband entered, she expected to be comforted. However, the exact opposite happened.
A 35-year-old woman and her husband had been together for 14 years, and she was the happy stepmother of his 20 and 23-year-old children. The woman’s husband was nine years older than her, and although they wanted children, they could never have any.
The woman took to Reddit to reveal that she and her husband had experienced one miscarriage early in their marriage, but there had been no sign of children since then. However, the week before the woman turned 35, she discovered she was pregnant.

The woman and her husband were ecstatic that they would welcome a new addition to their family. Still, her husband suggested they wait a while before they told anyone else, considering the risks and the fact that they had trouble with the woman’s previous pregnancy.
How Was the Woman’s Relationship with Her Stepchildren?
The woman described her stepchildren as “failures to launch,” saying they were happier living with her and her husband or mother-in-law. She also admitted that her relationship with her mother-in-law was incredibly strained and that the older woman had created a rift between the woman and her stepchildren.
