‘Homeless and Hungry’: The Sign Held by a Homeless Woman I Took In, Only to Be Kicked Out of My Own Home the Same Day — Story of the Day

I thought I was helping a homeless woman named Alice, but when my controlling husband, Carter, saw her in our kitchen, he paled and whispered, “Mom?” Tensions in our strained marriage boiled over as Carter revealed he’d thrown Alice out years ago for wanting a career. Feeling trapped in a house legally his, I stood up to him, leaving with Alice. To my shock, she wasn’t homeless—

she owned a Mercedes and a grand house, having tested my kindness to ensure her unborn grandchild’s future. Weeks later, Carter begged for forgiveness, promising change. Whether he does or not, I’m free, safe, and in control of my future.
