A Son and Wife's Betrayal

All my lousy son cared about was getting laid.

I had to pick up the pieces after I was betrayed.

I should've known something was wrong because of how they looked at each other.

After being a good father to the punk, he ran off with his stepmother.

I was devastated and I had to nurse a broken heart.

I had a nervous breakdown after my life fell apart.

One year later, they spent all of their money and were broke.

What they did next was unbelievable and it was not a joke.

Because they were broke, they asked if they could return to my house.

My son thought I shouldn't be upset because he ran off with my spouse.

They thought I was bluffing when I said that I would have them arrested if they didn't leave.

They went to jail for trespassing, they were shocked, it was something they couldn't believe.

I may forgive them in the future but I'm not yet able to forgive and forget.

I had both of them put behind bars and it sure isn't something that I regret.

You may be thinking that I'm a harsh man because of what I did.

But you might do the same if your spouse runs off with your kid.
