That can't be real. It's one evil twin away from being an All My Children plot line.

Reading posts on my birth board can be very interesting. I really don't mean to be too judgy, casting stones at glass houses and all that. And I certainly was no prude.
But sometimes you have to wonder WTH with some of these women.

So it seems like the husband got tired of the overweight alcoholic sleep around and moved on. Looks like everyone got what they wanted. The wife left first, she didn't get dumped for her mother.

The level of clueless is what got me.
Umm....what about you lady? You were the epitome of all things propriety that now you are casting stones at your spouse?

If it's an open marriage then he's free to be open too. What's good for the gander is good for the goose.

I'm surprised Captain Awkward was so nice and long in her response. She basically moved out of the martial home for 8 months and wants to be mad at her husband and Mom? I get it has a big ick factor, but she basically abandoned the marriage. Not for a few weeks, not for a couple months. But 8 months. Odds are he started talking to her Mom to get advice and it led to this.
Time for the letter writer to suck it up and leave legally.

People get married for all sorts of reasons. One doesn't need marriage for monogamy, either. You can be monogamous without legal paperwork.
I do hope she's responsible though.
On my birth board, there have been a few women who have sex with different men within a day or two of each other (and very close to when they ovulate). Which, OK. Whatever. But then they are surprised that pull in and pray isn't all that effective, or aren't sure if their partner uses BC...and these women don't. And then paternity becomes a real concern.
I did think of this, though, even if the ages are off.

Dear Captain Awkward,
First off, I want to let it be known that we are a family of Christians; I believe there is only one true God and that to be saved it must be through Jesus Christ. I have raised both my children “Paul” – 19 years old – and “Mary” – 24 years old – to be strong in faith and put their trust in God.
However, I fear for my daughter’s life. She recently confessed to me (this past summer) that she is seeing someone, let’s call him “Jim.” Jim is not who I want for my daughter and I worry that their incompatibilities and differences will lead to her being hurt.
One, his family is Catholic.
OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT CATHOLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In some circles that is worse than being anything else. Catholics have been big targets of both the KKK and Nazis. There is a reason why it's WASP and not WASC

But that was back in the day where there weren't as many people of color and white people had the time/energy to slice and dice up other white people into categories.

I was raised Catholic, my husband is from a Southern Baptist family and his grandfather was the founding preacher at many small churches in the area that they grew up. On the day my husband told his grandparents that we were engaged, he had a stroke. Now I'm not saying that is what caused it, because there were other things that made him high risk, but apparently engagement announcement put him over the top! DH's family did attend the wedding in a Catholic church, after much discussion about what they would not do. No they did not have to kiss the ring of the priest, or be forced to take communion (we did not have a mass anyway). We did have drinks at the reception though .

Sorry I call BS on the first letter - someone was pulling Captain Awkwards' leg.
First of all, I haven't met a drunk yet who admits they are a drunk. A true drunk would have left out all references to excessive drinking and hanging out in pubs, and the letter would have been one long whine about 'my DH is dating my mom' without mention of her frequent affairs with other guys or the fact that she's been living with someone else for a while.
I think it's a troll - although a very amusing troll.
