I'm 65, and 15 years ago I lost my husband, Harold, to a sudden heart attack. Since then, I've been living in the modest house we built together, and every corner still holds his memory. After his death, my daughter Rebecca moved to another state, but my son Thomas stayed. Because of my arthritis and lung disease, I struggled with daily tasks, so he moved in to help me. Then he met Vanessa. At first, she seemed kind. I suggested they get their own place, but she insisted: "We should live here — it's better for your mom." But soon, EVERYTHING CHANGED. She stacked the dishes on the highest shelves, dragged my laundry basket to the basement despite the pain in my knees, and even threw away my favorite chair — the only one that eased my hip pain. When Thomas was busy, he asked her to drive me to therapy. Instead, she would sneer: "I have a manicure. IF IT'S THAT IMPORTANT — WALK." Another time: "I'M TOO TIRED — JUST CALL A CAB!" One night at dinner, she said coldly: "IT'S TIME FOR THE NURSING HOME! Mom, can't you see you can't manage your own house?" I begged Thomas not to believe her, but when I once again couldn't even lift my own plate, he took Vanessa's side. A few days later, I woke to the sound of luggage. Vanessa was packing my things. She sneered: "DON'T WORRY, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE." Minutes later, Thomas was driving me to the nursing home. Rebecca only found out when the staff called her. She rushed straight to me. The very next day, she knocked on the door of my house — and Vanessa froze when SHE SAW THE FURY IN MY DAUGHTER'S EYES. ⬇️
