“I took in a friend after her landlord threw her out. I lied to my mom and kept her belongings in my mom’s house while she lived with me, my husband, and my kids for two years. I wanted her to save some money to start a business she had been planning to start instead of using her money to pay rent. She continued to live with me despite my husband, both of our families, and our circle of friends speaking against this arrangement.”

“Eventually, she started dating a rich man who rented an apartment for her, helped establish the business, traveled around with her, etc. Basically, her life got better, and guess who started spreading rumors about me, my husband, kids, etc.? She disgraced me to anyone who cared to listen. Some people who knew what I had done for her told me, and I confronted her. It’s been six years, and I still reel from the hurt I experienced at her hands in return for what I did.”
