“When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers (sic) Day a week after this once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse so I’ve been raising two boys alone [sic],” Caroline wrote across her TikTok video, which featured her kids. She captioned the post, “Yeah I’ve had to be silent for too long about this” and added the hashtags “divorce,” “cheating” and “single mom.”
