When my son got engaged, I expected a few challenges, not a full-scale family clash. What started as a thoughtful gift spiraled into a fight for control I never could’ve predicted.
I live in Houston, Texas, with my husband, Baron. A few years ago, when our son, Reub, graduated from college in Austin and decided to stay there for work, we bought a second home nearby. We never dreamed that house would cause a feud with Reub’s future in-laws.
