In just over a year, Lauren Wall, a British woman living in south-west London, had a child with her husband and married him, before seeing him leave her for mother Lauren, with who he also had a child, various British media report.
At the age of 18, Lauren began dating Paul. She quickly became pregnant and gave birth to their daughter in March 2004.
Five months later, on August 14, 2004, Paul and Lauren got married. Lauren’s mother, Julie, pays £15,000 (about C$24,000) to help pay for the wedding. Grateful, the couple take Julie on their honeymoon.
Shortly after their return, Lauren notices that her husband has changed his attitude. In particular, he becomes very protective of his phone.
One day, Lauren’s sister uses their mother’s phone, on which she discovers some shady text messages between Paul and Julie. She informs Lauren, who confronts her mother. The latter denies any relationship with her son-in-law.
Lauren therefore questions Paul, who becomes livid and refuses to let his wife look at her phone. Only eight weeks after their wedding, Paul takes off his wedding ring and leaves Lauren, along with their then seven-month-old daughter.
A little later, Lauren learns that Paul has moved in with his mother, Julie. And nine months later, in July 2005, Julie gives birth to a child whose father is none other than Paul.
Lauren explains that her husband Paul and his mother had always gotten along well. She didn’t find it strange, believing the relationship to be purely friendly.
Incredulous when she learned that her ex-husband had left her for her mother and had a child with her the following summer, Lauren says it’s one of the worst things a mother can do to her. daughter. “My world has collapsed,” proclaims Lauren.
He marries his mother, five years later
The story does not end there, however. Five years almost to the day after his marriage to Lauren, Paul married Julie on August 15, 2009.
Invited by her mother, Lauren finally agrees to attend the ceremony.
“It was almost too much to bear, but I did it for my daughter,” she explains.
Lauren now has a new partner, with whom she had another child.
The now 36-year-old, however, says the story damaged her confidence for the rest of her life.
“My mother and I tried to have a normal relationship. But we will never be as close as we used to be and I will never fully trust him again,” Lauren says.
