‘Does Mom Lead a Double Life?’ Son Spots His 56-Year-Old Mother Leaving Home Every Night — Daily Drama

A son starts questioning whether his mom led a double life after discovering that she would sneak out of the house when everybody was asleep. One night, he follows her out of the house and finds the real reason – it’s not what he expected.

When Chester welcomed his second son with his wife Amanda, he invited his mother, Gretchen, to move in with them to help with the kids. He was working full time and knew that his wife wouldn’t be able to raise a two-year-old and a newborn alone.

“Would you like to help us raise your grandkids, mom?” Chester asked Gretchen when she visited them at the hospital after the birth. “Amanda and I could use the help.”

Gretchen, who lived alone and saw her only son Chester once every month, couldn’t be happier to agree. Embracing her son, she said:

At first, this didn’t bother Amanda and Chester until these nights out of the house became more frequent. “She lives here so that she can help out with her grandkids. If she’s out every night, then maybe she should move back into her own home,” Amanda said one night, irritated that she had to care for her crying newborn and her complaining toddler.

“Grandma!” little Timothy kept crying one night. “I only want grandma!”

“What is she doing out every night?” Amanda said, having enough. “Can you please talk to your mom?” she asked her husband.

Chester promised to get to the bottom of why his mother kept going out every evening. The night he decided to confront her, she was nowhere to be found.

The following day, Chester asked her where she had gone. “Is anything wrong, mom? Why are you...
