My Husband Demanded I Sell My Pre-marriage Condo to Pay His Brother’s $2M Casino Debt – His Mom Added, ‘Darling, You Don’t Really Have a Choice’
When my husband Jake asked me to sell my condo to cover his brother’s $2 million casino debt, backed by his mother Patricia’s threats of custody battles, I faced an impossible choice. As a mother to our daughter Kelly, I couldn’t risk our home. Marrying Jake had entangled me in his family’s control, but his latest demand crossed a line. Anticipating trouble, I’d secured the condo in a trust for Kelly and moved my freelance earnings to a separate account. When Jake and
Patricia pushed, I filed for legal separation, full custody, and a restraining order. Serving them papers halted their scheme, and six months later, Kelly and I thrive in our condo—now hers—while Jake struggles with Max and Patricia faces legal repercussions. I chose my daughter’s future over their manipulation. Was I wrong? I’d do it again. What would you have done?
