My Son Slid a Stack of Papers in Front of Me: “Sign the Transfer Deed or I’ll Put You in a Nursing Home”—But He Didn’t Know the House Was Already in an Irrevocable Trust, and I Recorded Every Threat.

The second I signed our divorce papers, I shut down all 15 of his credit cards. While he flaunted a $75,000 wedding with his mistress, he went pale when he heard just one sentence from me.

At dinner, my son’s mother-in-law threw hot soup in my face and smiled. That’s what you deserve! she hissed. I wiped my face, stared back, and in that moment, I knew exactly how I was going to make her regret it.
