Okay, I will explain the situation. I, a 42-year-old woman, am planning to divorce my husband Andrés, 45, because his daughter was disabled by a car accident. She may have lost the ability to walk and suffered permanent brain damage. What happened is that my husband's daughter, Nicole, 22 years old, basically went to party with her boyfriend Miguel in a Tesla cybertruck that they gave him. From what we know, she went on a trip with her friends (this has happened before). Nicole works and her father, Miguel, my future ex gives her money. to finance her trip she spends about 2000 dollars once a year but this is only once a year we received a call and basically my husband started crying we went to the hospital and we found Nicole in bed with pipes and casts apparently they had a crash with some drunk driver that's what the doctors say or that we believe obviously my husband is more devastated than me since I honestly didn't care much about that girl I know she's insensitive but my real priority was my son Carlos 16 man obviously we live together and that stuff I don't mention it much here because it's irrelevant in this situation.

Well, the causes of the accident are honestly unknown to us since what I am telling you about the causes are speculations that we have. What is happening now is that Andrés practically lives in the hospital with his daughter and what terrifies me is the medical bills. There will be nothing left for Carlos's university and the truth is that girl and I did not have much of a relationship. We saw each other, we were like roommates but possibly she loved me more than I loved her. I was cordial and worried as much as I could, sometimes neglecting my son Carlos a little. Which I honestly regret.

But we still have time to fix it. Ultimately, my son and I are improving our relationship. The issue is that I am renting an apartment far from his house. I already have a divorce lawyer and Carlos is currently with my parents.

And I didn't tell my parents anything about my idea of ​​getting a divorce and clearly they don't think this divorce thing is good since obviously that girl is going to be disabled and my parents told me that that was not right in any way that I am literally leaving a girl to her fate that my husband is going to fall on us that they became attached to my stepdaughter etc.

Yes, I admit that I feel like a coward but nothing when my husband goes to work, he stays in the hospital where his daughter is, today he stays to sleep in said hospital and I am taking advantage of moving my furniture to my new 3-bedroom apartment, nothing more, I moved my part of the money to another account that only I manage and nothing I am moving and moving money

Am I the bad one?
