I caught my ex-mother-in-law stealing my shower cabin and tearing down the wallpaper her “son had installed
After divorcing Peter due to his affair, I hoped for peace, but his mother, Lorraine, had other plans. She never liked me and took the divorce as a chance to meddle further, even tearing down wallpaper and stealing my shower cabin, claiming it was “Peter’s property.”
One day, Lorraine showed up begging for my help. Peter had been in a bad accident after drinking, and she wanted me to save him. I refused. Peter’s choices were his own, and I wasn’t going to fix his mistakes. Furious, Lorraine warned I’d regret it, but I stood firm.
Rumors of Peter’s struggles circulated, and I eventually visited him. His once-proud life was in shambles, and he shamelessly asked me for money to pay his hospital bills. I left, realizing I owed him nothing.
Later, a humbled Lorraine came to my door, apologizing for everything. She admitted she’d enabled Peter’s behavior and finally saw him for who he was. Though I softened toward her, I kept my distance from their mess.Months later, Peter sent me a letter apologizing for his actions. While it didn’t erase the past, it gave me closure I never thought I’d have. Would you have handled it differently?
