After 8 years of working double shifts at the hospital, I bought my first apartment on the 14th floor with a straight-on view of the Portland skyline and invited my whole family to celebrate—they all said, “busy.” That night I posted exactly one photo of the floor-to-ceiling windows, my phone started vibrating nonstop, and they even showed up at my workplace.

In court, my dad called me too immature and unstable to own anything. He demanded full control of my money, my car, my home, and his attorney smiled like it was already done. Then the judge opened the case folder, read the list, and barked, “Stop immediately. Get security.”
