I never told my sister-in-law that I was the principal of the elite private school her son was applying to. During the admissions interview, she locked my daughter in a restroom to “eliminate the competition.” When my child sobbed and begged, she doused her with water and sneered, “Who would accept you looking like this?” I pulled my daughter out before it went further.

My family abandoned me after an accident—they chose to save my sister instead. Five years later, I saw them again at her wedding.

At his promotion party, my husband publicly betrayed me while I was 7 months pregnant. His mistress whispered, “No one can save you now.” He thought I was alone, until I made one call.
