1. 0:01When I returned home from the hospital
2. 0:03after nearly 3 weeks of fighting for my
3. 0:05life, I discovered that my own son had
4. 0:08changed the locks to my bedroom door. He
5. 0:10had gone on vacation with his wife's
6. 0:12family while I lay helpless in a
7. 0:14hospital bed. But what he didn't know
8. 0:16was that I had already made one phone
9. 0:18call that would turn his comfortable
10. 0:19little world upside down. Before I

15. 0:32My name is Bridgetette and I'm 72 years
16. 0:34old. After my husband died, I allowed my
17. 0:37son and his wife to leave in my house
18. 0:38while he saved money to buy their own
19. 0:40home. I paid the bills, stocked the
20. 0:43refrigerator, and even helped with their
21. 0:45expenses. Then I suffered a serious
22. 0:47medical emergency. I was rushed to the
23. 0:49hospital and for 19 days my son never
24. 0:52visited, not once. I later discovered he
25. 0:56had been vacationing in Hawaii with his
26. 0:58wife's parents. When I finally returned
27. 1:00home, a week and still recovering, I
28. 1:02couldn't believe my eyes. My bedroom
29. 1:04door had a brand new lock. My son stood
30. 1:07in the hallway and casually said, "Mom."
31. 1:10My wife and I need more privacy. We've
32. 1:12decided that that room is ours now. You
33. 1:15can use the guest room. I stared at him.
34. 1:18You're throwing your own mother out of
35. 1:19the bedroom. He shrugged and said,
36. 1:21"You're getting old. You don't need all
37. 1:23that space. I didn't scream or cry. I
38. 1:27simply smiled and went into the guest
39. 1:29room. The next morning, I called my
40. 1:31attorney. You see, my son forgot one
41. 1:34important detail. The house was entirely
42. 1:37mine, and I had recently updated my
43. 1:39estate documents. But that wasn't even
44. 1:41my biggest move. I served my son and his
45. 1:44wife with a formal 30 days notice to
46. 1:46vacate. Then I changed the locks to the
47. 1:49entire property while they were both at
48. 1:51work.
49. 1:53When my son returned and found his key
50. 1:55useless, he exploded. What have you
51. 1:58done? I calmly handed him an envelope
52. 2:00and inside was his eviction notice along
53. 2:03with a copy of the property he did. He
54. 2:06begged me to reconsider.
55. 2:08My his wife even called me heartless.
56. 2:11I simply smiled and said, "You changed
57. 2:13the lock on my bedroom when I was
58. 2:14recovering in the hospital. I just
59. 2:16changed the arrangement." 3 weeks later,
60. 2:19they were moving their belongings into a
61. 2:21rented apartment. My son stood on my
62. 2:24doorstep with tears in his eyes and
63. 2:25said, "Mom, please. I have nowhere to
64. 2:28go." I looked at the son who abandoned
65. 2:30me when I needed him the most and said,
66. 2:32"You had a mother. You chose to treat
67. 2:34her like a tenant." I closed the door
68. 2:37and for the first time in years, my
69. 2:39house finally felt like home. If you
