My husband & I were both addicted to drugs – he OD’ed & now I’m in love with his BROTHER, people say I ‘sicken’ them
A WOMAN has revealed that after her husband passed away, she fell in love with his brother.
Kaitlin and Aaron were childhood sweethearts after first meeting in primary school, and starting dating aged 18.
However, soon after the pair got together, they began abusing prescription drugs.
Kaitlin eventually got pregnant, which was the push the couple needed to quit drugs, but just six months after she gave birth to their son Camden, the pair started using again, and moved on to harder drugs.
“When we were getting high we turned into different people, our personalities changed so fast and the things we did were so out of character”, she told Love Don’t Judge.
By 2015, the couple had resulted to stealing from people to get the money to buy drugs, so, determined to change, Kaitlin decided to go to rehab.
During her time in rehab, she could tell that Aaron was still using when he was on the phone to her, so decided to cut contact.
However, just a week after she got out of rehab, she got a phone call stating that Aaron had overdosed and passed away.
Aaron’s brother Rory, had not been a fan of Kaitlin when his brother was alive, due to her drug use, but after Aaron’s passing, he decided to reach out, as he felt sorry for Camden.
When Kaitlin heard Rory’s voice, it reminded her of Aaron’s, which she said felt like a “comfort.”
Rory began to visit Kaitlin and Camden at weekends, and the couple eventually fell in love.
The pair were at first first hesitant to share their relationship with friends and family, and Rory and Aaron’s mother said that she initially found the relationship “weird”.
However, since Aaron and Rory share the same “values”, she said that she eventually came round to the idea, as she knew that Camden would be raised well by his uncle.
After Aaron’s death, Rory took on the role of Camden’s father, and he even calls him dad.
At first, Kaitlin struggled with the fact that she was dating her dead husband’s brother.
“I had questions about whether we were making the right decision as a couple”, she said.

“But Aaron wasn’t an option, and his was the only opinion I cared about.”
The couple have decided to share details of their unique relationship online, and have been met with their fair share of backlash.
Trolls have claimed the relationship makes them “sick”, but the couple don’t let the comments get to them.
“I think we’re good for each other, after seven years we have proven to be a great team, and create a beautiful family”, Rory said.
He added that he thinks his brother would be happy if he knew that Rory was dating Kaitlin, as he would know that she and Camden were being well looked after.
