My husband asked me to deliver dinner to his ailing mother – but while I was on my way, my lawyer called out, “Turn around and go back now!”
I thought my life was stable until I discovered my husband Matt’s betrayal. We had been married for three years, and I had always supported him financially, thinking we were building a future together.
But Matt’s relationship with his overbearing mother, Linda, began to overshadow our marriage. He constantly borrowed money for things related to her, and she was always critical of me.
One evening, as we were about to finalize the purchase of our dream home, Matt suddenly claimed his mother wasn’t well and asked me to bring her lasagna.
As I drove to her house, my lawyer called and told me Matt and Linda were trying to transfer the house into Linda’s name. I rushed home to find them signing papers with a real estate agent.
Matt and Linda had planned to divorce me, leaving me with nothing. I was devastated. My lawyer helped me gather evidence, and I filed for divorce, winning everything I was owed. Matt, who had contributed little financially, left with nothing but a lamp and a blender.
In the months that followed, I grew closer to my lawyer and the real estate agent who had helped expose Matt’s scheme. Six months later, I bought a new house—this one was all mine.
