The moment my mother-in-law sold her house to pay off my brother-in-law’s massive debts, I knew exactly what she planned to do next.
So I quietly sold my own house, packed a suitcase, and left for vacation.
Three days later, she called screaming, “Where am I supposed to live now?”
I smiled.
“Not in a house that no longer belongs to me.”
She never saw it coming.
Part 1
The moment my mother-in-law sold her home to cover my brother-in-law’s gambling debts, I knew what would happen next.
She wasn’t going to ask whether she could move into my house.
She was going to announce it.
My name is Megan Foster, and for twelve years, I had listened to Linda Foster remind everyone that “family always comes first.”
Somehow, that always meant sacrificing my time, money, or peace for her youngest son, Jason, who seemed to drown in debt every few years.
When Linda called to proudly announce she had sold her house to save Jason yet again, she sounded almost cheerful.
“I’ll stay with you and Ethan for a while,” she said.
