While I Was on a Trip, Someone Redecorated My House. Mom Laughed When I Said I’d Call Police...

This is a story about realizing that distance will not stop entitled relatives from trying to take over your life. While I was working on a six-month business assignment across the country, a friend who was checking on my house noticed my furniture was being rearranged. I checked my security cameras and caught my parents sneaking inside with boxes. They had decided my home now belonged to my older sister because she was going through a divorce, completely ignoring the fact that I still lived there. When I changed the locks to keep them out, I discovered they were planning to return and force their way inside with a crowbar. If you know what it is like to defend your boundaries against your own family, you might want to subscribe to hear this. I knew right then that I had to fly back in secret and prepare for their arrival.
