13. 0:23Back to the story.
14. 0:25I'm 69 years old and for most of my life
15. 0:27I believed my son could do no wrong. I
16. 0:30paid for his college education, helped
17. 0:32him buy his house, and even covered his
18. 0:34family vacations. Yet he treated me like
19. 0:36an embarrassing old woman whenever his
20. 0:38friends were around. Last Saturday, his
21. 0:41wife was having a neighborhood barbecue
22. 0:42competition at their home. My son
23. 0:44approached me with a plate of grilled
24. 0:45chicken and an unusually sweet smile
25. 0:47saying, "Mom, I made this specially for
26. 0:50you."
27. 0:51I nearly dropped my fork. This was the
28. 0:53same man who hadn't visited me in 4
29. 0:55months. Something about his behavior
30. 0:57felt strange. While everyone was
31. 0:59distracted, I quietly switched my plate
32. 1:01to his wife's. I didn't think much of it
33. 1:03until 20 minutes later. His wife began
34. 1:06complaining about dizziness. My son
35. 1:08immediately panicked. "She must be
36. 1:10exhausted," he said, desperately trying
37. 1:12to get her away from the table. But I
38. 1:14had already noticed him repeatedly
39. 1:15checking his phone. I excused myself and
40. 1:18called my private physician. And after
41. 1:20explaining what happened, I requested
42. 1:21emergency medical assistance for his
43. 1:23wife. At the hospital, toxicology tests
44. 1:26detected a sedative in her system.
45. 1:28Then came the discovery that changed
46. 1:30everything. You see, I found messages on
47. 1:32my son's tablet discussing how he
48. 1:33intended to make me sleep long enough to
49. 1:35photograph my credit card and access my
50. 1:37banking information. He had also
51. 1:39secretly been trying to obtain my
52. 1:41financial passwords. I didn't confront
53. 1:43him immediately, but instead I contacted
54. 1:46my attorney. For every card he had
55. 1:48access to, revoked his authorization on
56. 1:50my account, and removed his name from
57. 1:52the trust that would have eventually
58. 1:53benefited him. I also discovered he had
59. 1:55been using my supplementary credit card
60. 1:57had finance his lifestyle. I reported
61. 1:59the unauthorized transactions and 3 days
62. 2:01later my son arrived at my house
63. 2:03screaming.
64. 2:04Mom, my cards aren't working. What did
65. 2:06you do?
66. 2:07I calmly opened the door and
67. 2:10then I said, I simply stopped financing
68. 2:12the son who tried to put something in my
69. 2:14food.
70. 2:15His face went completely white. His wife
71. 2:18had also moved out after learning what
72. 2:19he had done. And for the first time in
73. 2:22his adult life, my son had to pay his
74. 2:23own bills.
75. 2:25I finally stopped confusing motherhood
76. 2:27with allowing someone to exploit me.
77. 2:29If you believe family should never be an
78. 2:31excuse for betrayal, then you're in the
79. 2:33right place. Trust me. You'll love our
