I caught my ex-MIL stealing my shower and ripping off wallpaper her son had glued

Following my divorce with Peter, I was drained both physically and emotionally. But he and his mother weren’t about to leave me alone. Instead, I caught my ex-MIL stealing my shower one day, and that was the ultimate disrespect she had shown me.

Peter and I were married for ten long years. Thinking about it, I can’t believe I allowed myself to be with someone as manipulative as him for that long. But for the time, it was the only life I knew of and I was afraid to let it go and start over.

But it was like that until I learned Peter had an affair. It was the last straw. I knew I deserved more and made the decision to respect myself and leave him.

Sadly, untying the knot didn’t mean getting the peace I longed for.

Peter’s mother, Lorraine wouldn’t leave me alone. She decided to take everything from me, and that included my and her son’s shared saving, all the jewelry, plenty of my belongings, you name it.

I didn’t argue because I avoided any contact with her, but one day, I was left in complete shock when I went home earlier than expected and saw her demolishing my bathroom.

I caught my ex-MIL stealing, and not only she took everything, but she was also tearing down the wallpaper.

When I asked her what she was doing, she muttered, “This is all my son’s work. He put up the wallpaper, so it’s his to take down. And this shower cabin? We’re not leaving anything behind for you.” Yanking at the shower frame, she demolished it completely.

I felt a lump in my throat, unable to confront her; crushed and defeated. There was nothing I could do in order to protect myself from this delusional woman.

The night was calm, and there was no sign of my ex-MIL or her son. But in the morning, she was there again. Knocking on my door she told me her son was involved in a car accident and needed financial help.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. How could she be asking me for money after everything they had done to me?

When I refused to help, she threatened me, but I didn’t care any longer.

I heard from people that Peter, who drank heavily while we were together, was drunk at the time of the accident. He was lucky to be alive, but hospital bills piled up, and he was unable to cope with the financial burden.

One day, I decided to pay him a visit when I knew my ex-MIL wasn’t home. The house was a complete mess, cups and bottles were placed everywhere. It was a faint image of how my ex-MIL used to keep it tidy and neat. Peter overtook her home and turned it into his messy man cave.

When he saw me, he asked if I was there to give him money. When I said I wasn’t, I just wanted to make sure he’s alright, he got mad and I realized that getting in touch with him again was a mistake.

Weeks passed by and my ex-MIL was at my door once again. But this time, she was humble. She looked like she aged 10 years in a matter of months. Guilt overtook her as she gathered the courage to apologize for every ordeal she forced me to go through. She learned Peter wasn’t the man she believed he was. It turned out that he manipulated her the way he manipulated me. She was caught into his web of lies, and she learned that he was a bad person the hard way.

I did feel sorry for her, and her apology seemed to be the closure I needed badly in order to be able to move on with my life, away from Peter and his mom.

Mariska Hargitay: Her secret is revealed

By

-

Mariska Hargitay may be best known for the role of Olivia Benson in the series Law and Order: SVU, the bold detective who stops criminals and brings them to justice, but in real life, she is a loving mom and wife.

Hargitay isn’t much different in real life than the character she plays in the long-running series. She shows her heroism in her off-screen life by financing charities and organizations that help women and children victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Although she’s been doing this for years, it was recently that she opened up about it and urged others to show their sympathy towards the vulnerable individuals. Her work has been making a huge impact within the communities touched by her kindness.

Now that people learned of this side of Hargitay, they respect her even more.

Recently, the actress opened up about another secret she’s been keeping away from the public eye during an interview with People Magazine.

This secret isn’t related to her professional life and her charitable work, but to the personal aspect of her life.

“I’ve kept this part of my life private for so long because I’ve always been a firm believer in keeping certain things sacred,” Hargitay explained during the interview. “But it’s time to share it with the world. My family and I have been navigating a medical journey that has shaped a lot of who I am today. It’s been an ongoing process, but I’m finally at a place where I’m ready to talk about it.”

She didn’t go into details, but revealed that the experience has been a roller-coaster. It made her reevaluate life and understand what it is that truly matters.

“It’s a rare condition that’s affected someone very close to me,” Mariska Hargitay revealed. “I’ve been balancing my personal life, my career, and my responsibilities to my family, and it’s been challenging. But it has also been a reminder of how resilient we all are when we come together.”

Following the interview, the Emmy-rewarded actress‘ social media got flooded with messages of fans.

“Olivia has been such an important part of my life, but so has my own personal story,” Hargitay said. “I’ve learned so much through playing her, and I’ve learned so much through living my own life. I’m grateful for both.”

Looking into the future, Hargitay is embracing the next chapter of her life with a sense of calmness and positivity. She shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming seasons of SVU and her ongoing advocacy work. She is, however, prioritizing her family.

“Secrets can be powerful,” she concluded, “but sometimes, letting them out can help you find peace. I’m ready for the next chapter of my life, and I’m grateful to everyone who has been there for me, both publicly and privately.”

My husband’s children hate me, but I’m grateful he stood by me against their cruelty

Finding happiness doesn’t come easy for some, so when they finally stumble upon the opportunity to experience it, they hold onto it as tight as they can, fearing it would slip away.

A woman took to Reddit to share her life story and how her husband’s children made her life a living hell.

She first met him two years following his wife’s passing, when his children, who were now all over 21 years old, were still young. The kids were his whole world. He was still grieving and although he wasn’t ready to get involve in a relationship, he enjoyed the woman’s company and they eventually started dating.

Sadly, his children never accepted her. They were convinced she was trying to take their mother’s place, and her being 53 and their father ten years her junior made things even harder.

However, they never showed how much they despised her in front of him. In his presence, they tried to be as polite as possible, so she never gathered the courage to tell him about their behavior towards her.

They sometimes called her names and told her to leave their father.

When he proposed, their hatred towards her only grew bigger.

When the two ties the knot during a modest civil ceremony, none of the three attended. They claimed they had other places to be, but since the ceremony was a small gathering, neither her nor their father got mad.

On the second day of the honeymoon, which the woman and her husband had been saving for for quite some time, his children appeared at the villa out of the blue.

The woman was shocked. They were the last people she expected to see in the Bahamas, but she didn’t say anything. She even offered cookies in an attempt to avoid the tension.

They claimed they were there because they missed their father, but the real reason was that they were there to ruin the honeymoon by making snide comments directed at the woman.

At one moment, when their father went inside the villa to grab some drinks, they started yelling at her. They told her she should be staying at the nearby cottage because she didn’t deserve to be spending the days at the luxurious villa. “You, a 53-year-old OLDIE, still want a fairytale? This villa is too nice for you. We’ll take it; you can have the bungalow,” they said. But at that moment, hey heard the sound of glass shattering.

It was their father. He was mad and told them to stop treating his wife like that. He was aware of what they were doing but didn’t confront them because he was convinced they would eventually come to terms with the fact he loved her.

Telling them to leave, he cut the financial support he provided them with all those years.

Time passed by, and her husband’s children came apologizing one by one.

They finally learned their father was truly happy.

A heartwarming secret unveiled in a suburban home

By

Whenever Emma’s mom, Lydia, was in need of a babysitter, she would ask her mother to step in. To her delight, the loving grandma always responded positively to those requests because she saw it as a way of bonding with her vibrant 6-year-old granddaughter.

The two always laughed together and had a lot of fun, but one thing that concerned Lydia was that her daughter’s hair was different after every visit by the grandma.

After a couple of babysitting “sessions,” Lydia decided to install cameras and see why her daughter’s hair was always cut shorter and shorter.

She never mentioned anything to her mother because it was obvious Emma loved being around her but still, she was a bit concern and wanted to learn what was going on behind closed doors.

Feeling a sense of guilt for monitoring her own mother without her knowledge, Lydia hesitated on whether to use the cameras, but curiosity got the best of her and she checked on her mom and daughter.

What she saw warmed her heart.

In the past, Lydia’s mom worked as a hairdresser, a story she would often tell Emma. The young girl became so immersed in the stories that she wished she were a hairdresser herself. Wanting to impress her grandma, she would grab the scissors and cut small portions of her long hair. The two of them would then laugh together.

Playing ‘salon’ seemed to be Emma’s favorite activity with her grandma, who let Emma ‘style’ her hair, indulging the little girl’s whims with no ill intentions.

Learning this removed all of Lydia’s concerns. She wasn’t mad at her mother, but she still had a conversation with her about the importance of boundaries and open conversation.

Pexels

Realizing just how interested Emma was in styling her hair, Lydia enrolled her in weekend children’s workshops. This way, she could still nurture her passion, but under guidance of professionals who wouldn’t let her cut her own hair.

The grandma, of course, was still welcomed to look after Emma whenever she wanted.

California teacher removes American flag, replacing it with the Pride flag for students’ pledge

By

-

Kristin Pitzen, California school teacher, posted video to social media of herself instructing students to say the pledge of allegiance to a Progress Pride flag.

In the video she has since deleted, she could be heard joking, “OK, so during third period, we do announcements and they do the Pledge of Allegiance. I always tell my class: ‘Stand if you feel like it, don’t stand if you feel like it, say the words if you want. You don’t have to say the words.’ So my class decided to stand but not say the words. Totally fine. Except for the fact that my room does not have a flag.”

She then noted that she took the American flag down, placed it somewhere, and couldn’t find it.

“My (student) today goes, ‘Hey, it’s kind of weird that we just stand and we say it to nothing. … In the meantime, I tell this kid, ‘We do have a flag in the class that you can pledge your allegiance to.’ And he like looks around and goes, ‘Oh, that one?'” she said as she imitated her student pointing to the Pride flag.

Allegedly, she took the Stars and Stripes down because it made her feel “uncomfortable.”

As expected, the video led to Pitzen facing backlash from the public.

In the meantime, the Newport-Mesa Unified School District has launched an investigation into Pitzen over the video, the district said in a statement. While the investigation continues, she has been placed on administrative leave.

“We assure you that we take matters like this seriously,” the district’s statement read. “Showing respect for our nation’s flag is an important value that we instill in our students and an expectation of our employees.”

One person posted on the social media that Pitzen “is an absolute disgrace to teachers” and warned the teacher to keep her own “views and political stances out of the classroom.”

“Nothing against the pride flag, but we lost 13 service men and women a few days ago for that flag (in Afghanistan)… respect it!” another person commented.

My husband gifted me money for breast implants and a nasty note for my birthday—I gave him a lesson he won’t forget

The moment you learn to love and respect yourself is the moment your life truly begins.

Being married for over a year, Nikkie believed her life was picture-perfect, but things started to change when her husband Jack started hitting the gym religiously. At first, she was happy for him because it was obvious he was becoming more and more satisfied with the way he looked, but over time, he got so obsessed with his appearance that he felt the need Nikkie to change as well.

He would show her Instagram models with perfect proportions, telling her he wished she looked like them.

His constant reminder that she didn’t resemble someone from the cover of a fashion magazine affected her self-esteem. He even mentioned her undergoing a breast implant surgery, but she tried to brush it off.

The last straw was on the day of her birthday when he gifted her money for breast implants and a note that read, “Time to upgrade those mosquito bites.” 

These words crushed her world. She realized he didn’t love her for who she was forced her to change just to meet his standards.

Although hurt deeply, Nikkie said “thank you,” and smiled, but deep down, she knew she needed to teach him a lesson he’s never forget.

Instead of fulfilling her husband’s sick wishes, she decided to invest the money in beautifying herself for the sake of her own well-being. She treated herself with some facial treatments, spent a day at the spa, bought some fancy outfits, and had a fresh haircut. She loved herself the way she was, and she was glad she understood that before she allowed anyone to change her for the sake of their twisted image of how a woman should look like.

Pexels

On the day of the supposed surgery, she packed all of Jack’s belongings in a bunch of boxes and changed all the locks. She then handed him an envelope with the rest of the money inside and a note that read, “Here’s your upgrade. Find someone who meets YOUR standards.”

When he realized how determined Nikkie was to cut all ties with him, Jack begged her to give him another chance, but she knew better than being with someone as shallow as him.

Melania Trump fears for Barron Trump’s life after assassination attempt on her husband

By
Monica Pop
-

In January, business mogul Donald Trump would return for his second term as President of the United States.

During Trump’s first four years at the top seat in the White House, his youngest son, Barron Trump, was residing with him and his mother at the White House. This time, however, things would be different as Barron has enrolled at New York University where he would be studying business just like his father.

Whether he would follow in his father’s footsteps when it comes to politics is something we have yet to witness, but the idea of him getting involved in the political arena wouldn’t surprise anyone as the youngest son of President-Elect was chosen by the Republican Party of Florida as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, NBC News reported.

“We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members,” Florida GOP chairman Evan Power said. “Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly we are preparing to win Florida and win it big.”

Barron isn’t the first Trump to be selected for this role, as his siblings Donald Jr., Eric, and Tiffany served as delegates for Florida, where their father has officially resided and voted for the last number of years.

However, as his father was “all for it,” it was Melania who shut down the idea of her son’s political engagements. “While Barron is honoured to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” a spokeswoman for Mrs Trump said in a statement.

This, however, doesn’t necessarily mean that Melania is totally against Barron tenuring into political circles. She seems to be starting to incorporate her son, whom she protected from the spotlight for so long, into public life.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania’s former aide, believes that Barron’s appearance on the family Christmas photo of last year in which he posed alongside his father and siblings, is the perfect proof of his “strategic” mom preparing him for the future.

“Melania’s decision to include Barron in this family activity, even if she couldn’t be there herself, might be a significant turning point, potentially fostering a new level of support between Melania and Donald,” she told the New York Post.

“Barron’s appearance is truly monumental and shows Donald and Melania are in lockstep with one another. I believe we will be seeing more of him now. Nothing happens by chance with Melania.”

Melania has been overly protective of her son, but living in the digital era, she certainly can’t forbid him from being in touch with what is going outside the walls of their Mar-A-Lago mansion.

On July 13, Donald Trump was fired at during a rally in Butler. He was hit in the ear, while a volunteer fire chief was killed. Two other people were wounded.

“For 15 seconds, time stood still,” Trump told the crowd. “This vicious monster unleashed evil. The villain did not succeed in his goal.”

The assassination attempt didn’t only affect Trump, who later return for another rally at the same stage, but also his family. Melania revealed on X that the moment of shooting was a moment she realized her and Barron Trump’s lives were “on the brink of devastating change.”

“When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life was on the brink of devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband,” Melania wrote, as per CNN.

“To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me.”

Melania continued: “A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life – his human side – were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times.”

Barron has been receiving protection from the Secret Service ever since he left the White House. They have been around him at all times, including during his stay at school. He will also receive protection at New York University.

US Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told Newsweek: “The President-elect has been receiving heightened Secret Service protection, and this level of security will be maintained moving forward.”

“While we cannot share specific details to ensure the integrity of our operations, family members and executive staff of the President-elect may also be afforded protection in accordance with federal law.”

Guglielmi concluded: “Enhanced security measures around Palm Beach County, Florida, and New York City are also being coordinated. The Secret Service is committed to working with local partners in these cities to keep the community informed about any potential impacts to the public.”

Paul Eckloff, a former Secret Service agent who worked with George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, as well as their families, told Newsweek that a president’s child is considered a “soft target,” as per a law enforcement and military term.

That means “they are perceived to be less protected, which makes them vulnerable but also creates a dangerous environment for those around them.” Eckloff said that it could mean that Barron could be “sitting in a student union – just as a hypothetical — and he may look alone, but he will not be alone. You will see [Secret Service agents] dressed as best as possible like students.”

During his father’s presidency, Barron will likely stay at Trump Tower.
