My Aunt Kicked Me Out of My Childhood Home
Sudden Loss
At 19, I lost both my parents overnight and was
left alone with grief that came in fragments—
“a voicemail,” “two cops avoiding eye contact,”
and a house that felt unbearably silent.
Betrayal
The will reading delivered another shock.
My distant Aunt Dina claimed the house.
“According to the will, the house goes to Ms. Dina,”
the lawyer said. Dina smirked, ordered me out
within 24 hours, and added, “I’m your landlord now.”
Karma Arrives
As I stood homeless on the porch, a black limousine pulled up.
My estranged Uncle Mike revealed evidence that
Dina had forged the will. “You’re about to get your house back,”
he said. Police arrested her on the spot.
Home Again
The court later ruled the estate was mine.
Dina lost everything. I reclaimed my home,
where even the peace lily bloomed again—“stubborn.
Resilient. Just like me.”
