1. The Legal Battle
Grandma hired a lawyer. She sued for full custody—and won. But she didn’t stop there.
2. The Financial Blow
Since my mother had married into money, Grandma made sure child support was enforced to the fullest extent. No excuses.
3. The Public Shame
My grandmother never hid the truth. When people asked where my mother was, she told them—boldly, unapologetically.
Karma’s Sweet Taste
Years later, my mother’s "perfect" family fell apart.
Her husband left her.
Her stepson wanted nothing to do with her.
And when she tried to come back into my life? Grandma stood in the doorway like a guard.
"You don’t get to be a mother now," she said. "You lost that right."
