My husband’s death shattered me, but my mother-in-law made things worse just two days later. She evicted me and my children, changing the locks and leaving us without a place to live. Although she believed she had won, her actions would haunt her.
When I married Ryan two years ago, I was aware of his mother’s disdain for me. She often showed contempt, especially toward my children from a previous marriage. Ryan always reassured me, but things never improved with his mother.
After Ryan’s death, I received a call about his serious car accident. When I arrived at the hospital, I was told he didn’t make it. The funeral was a blur, and Margaret’s cold words added to my grief. She blamed me for his death, but the truth was far from her accusations.
