After my dad passed, he left me our family home. I honored his memory by living there—alone, at first. Then my mom and brother moved in uninvited. I thought it was temporary. It wasn’t.
They treated me like the maid, ignoring that I owned the house. I stayed quiet—until my pregnant sister-in-law demanded more than I could give. They took over completely, using guilt and manipulation to control me.
I was exhausted—doing chores, running errands, even getting up at dawn for Gwen’s food cravings. Every protest was shut down with, “She’s pregnant!” My birthday went ignored. My food was eaten. My space invaded. My voice silenced.
The breaking point came when Gwen ate the dinner I made after a long day. When I snapped, I was told to leave my own house. That night, I called my Uncle Bob.
The next morning, I sold the house to him—fast. When I told them they had 48 hours to leave, they panicked. I didn’t. They called me heartless. I blocked them all.
With $2 million from the sale, I bought my own peaceful cottage. When my mom texted, “You made us homeless,” I hit block one last time.
I don’t regret a thing. My dad would be proud—I finally stood up for myself.
