My mom texted, ‘We changed all the locks. From now on, you don’t have a place in this house anymore. Let’s see how brave you are now, haha.’ Two days later, their attorney emailed, ‘We have a problem. Please call back immediately.’ She locked me out and told me I had no home… so I claimed the part of the house I’d already paid into.
