Katie inherited her late father’s home, but her mother, brother Tyler, and his wife Gwen moved in without asking and quickly took over. They treated Katie like a maid, leaving her to cook, clean, and run errands, especially after Gwen became pregnant. Every protest was met with guilt trips, and Katie was constantly shamed for wanting boundaries in her own house.
The breaking point came when Gwen ate Katie’s only meal after a long day of work. When Katie confronted her, Tyler and her mom sided with Gwen and even tried to kick Katie out of her own home. Furious and heartbroken, Katie called her Uncle Bob, who had always supported her, and told him everything. He offered to buy the house so she could finally be free.
The next day, Katie announced she’d sold the house to Uncle Bob. Her family had 48 hours to leave. Tyler and Gwen protested, using Gwen’s pregnancy as an excuse, while her mom called Katie “selfish.” But Katie stood firm, reminding them that family doesn’t treat each other with disrespect. She packed a bag and stayed with a friend until they were gone.
Katie finalized the $2 million sale and used the money to buy a cozy cottage of her own. When her mom sent a text blaming her for making them “homeless,” Katie blocked her number. Finally free, Katie realized that true family is built on love and respect—not entitlement.
