My Husband Refused to Help My Parents—Until Life Taught Him a Lesson

My parents lost their home. I asked my husband to let them stay in one of his rentals for free. He refused.
“This is my business, not a charity!”

I said nothing. But the next day, I received a horrifying call from my mom. She said my husband had come by the rental and yelled at them to leave the property immediately, even though I’d told her it was fine to stay temporarily.

I couldn’t believe it. I stood there with the phone in my hand, my stomach twisting. My mom was crying. My dad, proud as ever, had packed their things already. They were heading to a cheap motel with their last bit of savings.

When I confronted my husband, Adrian, he shrugged. “You had no right to promise something that’s mine. I worked for those properties. Your parents have to figure out their own mess.”

That hurt more than I could explain. Adrian wasn’t always like this. When we first got married, he was generous, thoughtful. Somewhere along the way, success had hardened him. His real estate business had grown, and with every dollar earned, his heart seemed to shrink just a little more.
