A Tale of Boundaries, Betrayal and Unfriending
Our heroine, a 30-year-old woman, has found herself in a sticky situation. After her father’s passing, her mother decided to sell their family home and move closer to her. The daughter and her husband, despite their own busy lives, stepped in to help. But when the mother’s house sold faster than she could find a new apartment, she asked to move in with her daughter’s family. The daughter agreed, but only for a limited time. As the move-out date loomed, the mother showed no signs of finding a new place. Instead, she chose to live in her car with her cat, showering at a gym, rather than accept her daughter’s help. In a dramatic turn of events, she ended the conversation with a stinging remark and a swift unfriending on Facebook. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this family drama…
