My Husband and His Mom Got Rid of My Cat While I Was Away — but I Never Expected My Neighbor to Help Me Get Revenge

Upon returning from a brief trip, I found my cherished cat, Benji, missing. My husband, John, and his mother, Carol, dismissed my concerns, revealing they had given Benji away to “free” me from distractions. Distraught, I sought help from my neighbor, Lisa, who had witnessed Carol handing Benji to Samantha, a former high school bully turned influencer. Armed with this information, I confronted Samantha, retrieving Benji by threatening to expose her past misdeeds. This ordeal made me realize the toxicity of my marriage, leading me to demand a divorce and reclaim control over my life.
