I finally felt the independence and security that my father had envisioned for me. Every day without my stepfather offered new levels of peace. I could stroll around my house without anxiety, sleep without worry, and plan my future without his intrusive presence. The house, which was previously a source of contention, became a haven of safety and possibilities. It’s astonishing how much life improved when the shadows were lifted, allowing more light in.

It felt weird, like a dream had finally come true. My stepfather’s face contorted with rage and bewilderment, but it was evident he couldn’t do anything about it. The decision was definitive, and the house was clearly mine.
