Parents will do a lot to make sure their children have the best life possible. But sometimes, in trying to protect their kids, they might cross the line. In this article, we’ve gathered surprising stories of moms and dads who went too far, thinking they were doing what’s best for their children.

The Story:

My dad didn’t like my husband, but a few years ago, he unexpectedly offered him a better job at his company if he quit his own. My husband accepted without thinking twice. Last month, we got divorced. Then my dad told me a shocking truth: he had secretly recorded my husband using a hidden camera in his office. It turned out my husband was having an affair with his secretary. I had noticed my husband acting differently, becoming more distant, which hurt our marriage and led to our separation. My dad said he knew my husband would cheat from the moment they met, so he decided to watch him. Now that we had the affair on tape, I had the proof I needed for court. This could help me keep my money, as stated in our prenup. Thanks, Dad.
