A WEEK AGO, MY HOUSE WAS ROBBED, AND TODAY, MY SON (WHO IS JOBLESS) BOUGHT HIMSELF A SPORTS CAR. I’ve been living in this house for 20 years with my son, ever since my husband left us. My son is 25, unemployed, and never finished college.

My son kept reassuring me, saying he’d find out who did it, but let’s be real — how? The most shocking part came yesterday when I saw my son getting into a sports car! When I asked him how he could afford it, he said, “I got a job I didn’t tell you about.” Total lie! I didn’t believe him for a second. My gut told me he stole my money and bought that car. We got into a huge argument and he drove off, so I followed him to see what his “new job” was about. ⬇️
