Her Ex Took Everything in the Divorce—Now He’s Ordering Coffee From Her

When Ethan abandoned Allison with two kids and no support, survival became her only goal. She took on backbreaking cleaning shifts, returning home to empty cupboards and her children’s questions she couldn’t answer. Nights were long, hope was thin—until her phone rang one ordinary afternoon. Then came the call that changed everything…
Ethan had always believed he was the master of his own fate. While his classmates buried themselves in textbooks, he was flipping cars, building custom computers, and chasing quick profits. That’s when he met Allison—a quiet, diligent student immersed in her foreign language studies.
She was everything he wasn’t—patient, thoughtful, steady. They fell in love, got married, and soon welcomed their first child, Dylan. Allison embraced motherhood completely, and two years later, their daughter Lily arrived. Her days blurred into feedings, laundry, and lullabies.
When she suggested hiring a nanny, Ethan shut it down instantly.
“A mother should raise her own kids,” he insisted, while treating himself to new cars, nights out, and the latest gadgets. When Allison asked for a simple hairdryer, he waved her off—“The old one works fine.”
Years passed. The children grew, but Ethan only grew distant. He always had time for his friends, never for her. Then one evening, without warning, he announced,
“I want a divorce. I’m tired of this family thing. I need my freedom.”
