Finding out that your partner is cheating on you is devastating - but imagine discovering they have a secret family.
This was the earth-shattering reality for one woman, who rumbled her cheating boyfriend through an incriminating photo she found on Facebook.
Dara, from Brooklyn in New York, was living paycheque-to-paycheque while supporting her man and even agreed to move across the country to live with him.
But just a month after moving to the Big Apple, the 37-year-old former nurse made a shocking discovery that turned her world upside down.
Dara had innocently gone onto her boyfriend's mum's Facebook page when she noticed something strange - and the harsh reality began to unravel.
"We were about to go and meet his mum, who lives abroad, and I went to follow her and noticed she was 'friends' with a profile of his that I didn't know about," she explained.

"When I clicked on this alternative profile, I saw photos from a baby shower for his other girlfriend.
"I was so shocked, hurt and angry."
To make matters worse, she found out he had been using her money to cover his budding family's expenses.
Dara ditched the love rat straight away, but was stuck in a lease in a swanky New York flat and quickly found herself struggling to pay the bills while working as a nurse.
She managed to find a new way to make ends meet and show her ex what he was missing at the same time by joining OnlyFans.
Dara, who started her account in 2018, said: "I have a lot of pride and decided to just figure my financial situation out, rather than let a man take advantage of me.
"When I fell into debt, I ditched him, then got rid of my car, which was a money guzzler, and started an OnlyFans. The rest is history.
"In the beginning, I mostly posted behind-the-scenes images from photo shoots and built a personal relationship with my fans.
"I couldn't believe how much money was coming in.
"I remember thinking 'I'm going to post whatever makes me as much money as possible' and now I'm debt-free.
"For the first time, I can actually save money."
Within her first month, she made £25,000 – the equivalent of what was her yearly salary - and now makes over £417,000 per year.
Dara turned her back on 13 years in healthcare, having previously been working at a newborn intensive care unit (NICU) nurse.
Admitting she has no regrets, she said: "I don't plan in returning to nursing as long as I keep making good money.
"I loved watching my patients grow and go home.
"But the job started to take a toll on my mental health, as being a nurse is emotionally taxing when you work in the intensive care unit and I wasn't making enough to make ends meet.
"I don't regret my decision."
Dara is known her her ultra-realistic fashion looks made with just body paint and regularly shares sexy snaps with her 271,000 followers on Instagram under the handle @moneybirdette .
As for her cheating ex, Dara has revealed he still tries to contact her despite having his secret family.
He knows about her OnlyFans career, which would never had started had he not been caught out.
She said: "He still contacts me to this day but I've blocked him.
"But I want nothing to do with him."
