Priscilla married a divorced man with a son and tried her best to be a good stepmother. However, he hated her for a particular reason and decided to do something horrible when she aged. That’s when a nursing home had to step in.
“You can’t do this to me, Kenji. I’ve been living in this house for many years,” Priscilla begged her stepson, Kenji, on the phone. But the younger man refused her pleas.
“I don’t care. Get out of my house because I’m going to sell it or whatever. I just don’t want you in it!” he spat at her.

“Listen to me, Priscilla. I DON’T CARE!” he yelled and hung up abruptly.

She even volunteered whenever possible because her grandmother had been sent to one when Priscilla was little, and she hated some of the conditions a few residents lived in.

Years later, Oliver died, and everything he owned was passed down to him, including the house. Priscilla was somewhat aware of this, but she never imagined that Kenji would kick an older woman out just like that.
She had a few savings, but primarily for her retirement. She couldn’t afford an apartment and had nowhere to go. However, she knew Kenji would not change his mind, so she had to start packing. She also called a friend, Mrs. Stubby, who offered her a couch for the night. But it was not a permanent solution.
