After hearing that my grandfather had gone bankrupt, my parents drained his remaining savings for a luxury cruise, leaving behind a note: “We went on vacation. You deal with the old burden.” I found Grandpa dying—shivering in a freezing house with no heat, no food.

That was the moment they crossed the line. I will come—but they should wish I never did.

When I returned from the army, my daughter was forced to sleep in the pigsty, humiliated, and told, “You’re a useless burden.” In front of me, she even sneered, “A poor, washed-up soldier has no right to speak up.” I silently signed the legal papers, reclaiming the entire house she was living in.
