Together with my new husband Harold, we came up with a bold plan to give her a lesson she would never forget, which resulted in a showdown that would permanently alter our family dynamic. I never imagined that I would be narrating this tale, but here we are. Margaret here, and I turned eighty this past April. I was living in a little room in the home of my granddaughter Ashley.
