My husband pas.sed away 4 months ago, yet I still receive $3,000 from him every month – The truth left me heartbr.oken and full of hat.red

My husband and I were married for eight years and had a son and a daughter. He was the type of man who prioritized his career and rarely had time for his wife and children. But I always understood him and was even willing to stay home to take care of our kids so that he could focus on his work.

Many people around me often advised me to have my own job and not depend financially on my husband. They said that men tend to grow bored of wives who only stay at home, and some even cheat. But at the time, I didn’t listen. Now, I realize how foolish I was. For eight years, I was completely financially dependent on him.

A tragedy struck our family five months ago when my husband suddenly passed away in an accident. The shock came so fast that I had no time to prepare for the overwhelming pain of losing him. After his death, my children and I received an insurance payout. I later went back to work, but with a low salary, life became more difficult.

The $3,000 I received every month was a great help to my children and me. I really wanted to know who was kind enough to support us. Last month, I asked for the sender’s address, and it turned out to be a luxurious apartment complex. Who was sending us money from there? I used a different number to call the sender, pretending to be a delivery staff member waiting downstairs with a gift.

I saw a woman come down, and when I called, she answered the phone. But when she saw me, she froze in shock and tried to walk away.

After some struggle, we finally sat down to talk. She cried as she confessed that she had been involved with my husband. He had given her money to open a store and bought her an apartment to live in. But since his death, she had been tormented with guilt, so she decided to send money as compensation for my children and me. She saw it as a way to atone for her sins and also as a way to continue supporting our family in my husband's place.

But something strange puzzled me - my husband had been gone for four months, yet every month, I received an envelope containing $3000. The sender's name was my husband, and the address was clear. I thought it might be a mistake, but the delivery service confirmed that the sender’s name and address were correct. Even though I had the sender’s phone number, I couldn’t reach them.

When I discovered the truth about my late husband, I hated him with every fiber of my being. But the reality is that I need money to raise my children, and his mistress promised to help us as much as she could. If I accept her help, would that mean lowering myself?

What should I do?
