Woman Raises Son’s Daughter He Left 10 Years Ago, He Returns and Finds House Abandoned and Empty – Story of the Day
Doris Dakkar raised her son Nicholas alone after her husband left when he was seven. Decades later, history repeated when Nicholas abandoned his ten-year-old daughter, Paige, with Doris to vacation with his new wife, Donna, after his first wife’s death. He never returned, leaving Doris to care for Paige. They discovered Nicholas had sold his house and cut contact, leaving no support. Doris reassured Paige they’d manage, and they did. Ten
years later, Nicholas returned, shocked to find his mother’s house abandoned. A neighbor revealed Paige had married and lived with Doris in a luxurious mansion. At their home, Paige and Doris confronted him coldly. Nicholas, now broke and alone after Donna left, asked for money. Paige, unmoved but honoring Doris, gave him $5,000 and keys to the old house, warning him not to return. As they walked away, Nicholas sat in his car, lamenting his suffering, blind to the pain he caused.
