I knew exactly what Mom was doing. She was trying to gaslight me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, I\u2019m telling you right now, that crap doesn\u2019t work on me anymore!\u201d I said into the phone. \u201cThe money? You\u2019re not getting it. The appliances? They\u2019re mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of harassing me, why don\u2019t you go back home and hand-wash your perfect daughter\u2019s clothes like the good little maid you want to be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hung up and opened the family group chat. They\u2019d already sent over a hundred messages trashing me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I left the chat and blocked all of them. Then I texted my realtor, \u201cHi, can you list that condo for sale? Thanks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On my first day back at work, I was at my desk when someone burst through the office door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Henderson! Something\u2019s wrong! You need to come downstairs right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My stomach dropped and I rushed down to the lobby. Two police officers were waiting for\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAva Henderson, you\u2019re involved in a criminal complaint. We need you to come with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the car, I tried to hint around about who filed the complaint, and the officer next to me gave me this disgusted look and shoved his phone in my face. \u201cSee for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I grabbed my phone and couldn\u2019t believe what I saw. My parents were trending at number\u00a0<\/p>\n
one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the video, they were sobbing their eyes out, claiming I was an ungrateful daughter who\u2019d stolen their retirement savings, taken all the furniture and appliances, and even driven off with their car. They said I\u2019d left them with nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With help from people online, they\u2019d found a lawyer who was working pro bono and filed a lawsuit against me for elder abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They wanted me in jail, and they were demanding I pay back 300 thousand dollars in retirement funds plus five thousand dollars a month in support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Three hundred thousand dollars?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I almost laughed out loud. Mom and Dad were really going all out to get their hands on that\u00a0<\/p>\n

When I walked into the courtroom, I realized this wasn\u2019t some small hearing. The gallery was packed with people, and every single one of them was staring at me like I was some kind of monster. Their eyes felt like needles piercing my skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could hear people whispering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s her? She looks so normal, but how can someone be that cruel?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbusing her own parents? What a piece of trash. I hope she gets hit by a bus.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
