I killed my daughter-in-law because I had feelings for my son

I have been a single mother for 15 years now. My husband died and left me with our son. Since I was working and life was not too hard for me, I decided not to get married again. My work could sustain my life and my son’s.

I took him to the best school and gave him everything he wanted. He was a very handsome boy, just like his father. My son is 25 years old now. When he was 23, he brought home a beautiful young lady and told me she was the love of his life and he wanted to marry her.

That could have been the best news to any other mother but to me, it was the worst news. I was so used to my son being around. When he grew into a fine young man, my feelings for him had changed. I started seeing my husband in him and that changed everything.

He was a very caring man, whenever he was on holidays from school, we would spend a lot of time together. Go for picnics, walks and sometimes he even took me for dinner dates. For him, that was just a normal relationship between him and his mother. He felt responsible for me and took it upon him to take care of me since his father’s death.

So when the news that he was going to get married came, it was a shock to me. It meant that there was another woman coming into the picture, I would be sharing my son with another random woman.  But I could not do anything to stop him. He had already decided, and he married her, anyway he was bound to get married one day or another.

It has been two years now since they got married. Ever since then, things have changed to the worst. My relationship with my son is very distant. He does not call and visit as he used to. We no longer go for the walks, pics or dates. I have been a sad woman since then. What hurts me the most is that the other woman, his wife, is enjoying all those instead of me.

One day, when I had paid them a visit, my anger got the best of me. It was after dinner and I had decided to join them watch their favorite soap opera movie. While in the living room, my son and his wife were making out every now and then, I could not stand watching them kissing and caressing all the time and so I went to bed.

An hour later they also retied to bed. Then I woke up and went to the kitchen, there I started making funny noises with the utensils, my daughter in law came in to check what was happening, and there was where I stubbed her with a knife. She screamed painfully and my son came in, he rushed her to the hospital but unfortunately she died.

I let my jealousy get the better of me, now I am serving my life sentence in jail. My son no longer recognizes me as his mother. After a year he found himself another wife and he is now living life peacefully while I rot in prison.
