What would you do if the people you trusted most borrowed thousands—and then acted like it never happened? This is the story of betrayal, boundaries, and unexpected redemption.
My Sister and Her Husband Refused to Repay a Massive Loan …But Karma Came Back to Get Them I never imagined that kindness and loyalty could leave me feeling so exposed—especially not when it came to my own sister.
Three years ago, after years of hard work, I was finally breathing easier. I had sold my small flower shop—a labor of love since college—and, with no debts, I had a modest savings set aside while I decided my next move.
