Man Kicks Gay Son Out of House Then Lashes at Wife Who Tries to Make Him See Reason

A wife and child plotted revenge against her abusive husband, who beat up her son for coming out as gay. After many years of fearing to report him to the police, the wife found a way to ruin his reputation.

A concerned child and sibling proudly shared how their mother got revenge on her abusive husband on Reddit. For a bit of a backstory, the father in question was abusive towards his wife and children but hid behind his religion.

In addition to the religious authority he had given himself, the father ensured that his family feared and stayed away from the police. This meant that it was difficult for either his wife or children to report any cases of abuse because the family lived in a small town, and the father was friends with the local cops.

The concerned child, who also anonymously submitted the Reddit confession, wrote, "After I went off to college, my little brother came out as gay, and my father started beating him." The mother did not know about these beatings. When the brother threatened to tell her, the father decided to kick out his then 15-year-old son.

How Did the Mother Leave the Abusive Marriage?

Since the man was loved and seen as a godly man in the community, no one would believe he was abusive. But the concerned child managed to get the mother out of the marriage, the brother went to live with his friends, and the divorce was finally underway.

As expected, the separation was ugly. No one wanted to go to the police, but the father, fortunately, agreed to the divorce with no fault.

However, the mother discovered something that would help her plot the sweetest revenge later. While cleaning out her stuff, she found some of her husband's paperwork.

According to the anonymous Reddit user, for 25 years, the father had claimed that he was a Special Forces veteran with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star but convinced everyone that his paperwork and uniform were lost in a fire.

However, the mother discovered paperwork stating otherwise and held on to this information for years until she revealed it to her child after having a few drinks. It turned out the father was given an Other Than Honorable Discharge after serving four years in the motor pool.

While the mother did not want to be seen as a malicious ex-wife, her child knew exactly what to do with that information to get back at the father for the abuse he inflicted on the family.

The Revenge

The years the mother spent keeping the secret finally came to an end. The anonymous child did a deep dive on social media and found all the people the father deemed important, which included employers, friends in high positions, and people from church. In addition, the wife added her family, and the child included friends from college.

Letting go of this information was also easier since the man had moved to another state to be part of the militia, which made the revenge even sweeter.

On Veterans Day, they purchased postcards and included phrases such as "stolen valor," "motor pool," and "pretender." The postcards were sent to all the people they had listed, with an additional copy of a page about the father's discharge. The postcards were sent out to the closest big cities and the return address was made to the man's church.

In no time, the mother started receiving emails and phone calls from people telling her they did not know her ex-husband could lie about something like this. Meanwhile, the father sent an angry, wordy email to his ex-wife, and she sent it straight to her lawyers.

The mother and her child never told the brother about their revenge because he did not want his father to be confronted, but he also got calls from people at church apologizing for kicking him out.

Ultimately, the mother saved herself from being labeled as the woman who left a godly man, and the man's reputation was ruined by his own family.

The child could not have been more proud of the embarrassment the ordeal caused the father. "Revenge truly is a dish best served cold," the child wrote. Even commenters said the Reddit user deserved an award for plotting the best revenge.
