I Thought I’d Inherit My Mother’s House, but She Left a Letter Saying It Would Be Gone in Three Days Unless I Did One Thing – Story of the Day

After my mother’s death, I expected to inherit her house, but found a letter with a shocking condition: divorce my husband within three days, or lose the house forever. We’d lived with Mom for years, and I cared for her during her illness while my husband, Jason, did nothing. Mom urged me to leave him, warning he was a burden, not a partner. His neglect, like forgetting to pick up our daughter Lily from school, and his callous

attitude after Mom’s death, deepened my doubts. The final straw came when Jason returned home reeking of another woman’s perfume, smirking as he insulted me. Lily, seeing my pain, said, “You should leave him. I want a happy mom.” Her words, and Mom’s condition, pushed me to act. I filed for divorce, served Jason the papers, and reclaimed my life as he stormed out, leaving silence—and peace—behind.
