my mother-in-law took my passport and burned it it went up in Flames quickly and turned to ashes now I can't go on my vacation to St B's Island I was shocked and asked what's going on she smirked and said you're a stranger here so you'll be staying home while my husband grinned too I was horrified by their cruel trick I knew they might do something like this but I didn't expect them to be so sneaky they looked pleased with themselves and even laughed in a nasty way then I told them who I really am my
name is Tyra I'm 29 and I study Linguistics at University since graduating I've been learning about different languages and cultures and sharing what I know my organization sends me on trips abroad and when that happens I'm gone for a few months when I first started this job I thought marriage wasn't something I'd ever do but when I went back to my home country at 26 I met Corey who eventually became my husband because of my job I only see him for a few months at a time before I had to travel again we stayed in
touch with phone calls and emails while I was away 2 years later at 28 we got married even after our wedding I continued to spend half the year working abroad so we were apart a lot I'm thankful he chose to marry me despite this today I'm heading home from the airport it's the first time I'll see my husband in 5 months I should be tired but I'm excited and walking quickly when I got home Corey wasn't there yet so I started tidying up I always tell him to keep the place clean but it's a bit
messy normally this would upset me but today I'm willing to overlook it because I'm just happy to see him while I'm cooking I hear the front door open Cory walks in and I rush to greet him Corey welcome home it's so good to see you oh hi Tyra you're back is that all you can say we haven't seen each other in 5 months well we've been living like this for a while so I'm used to it what can't you at least say you missed me oh what I'm tired anyway is dinner ready yeah I just
finished cooking let's eat eating with my husband after so many months feels like the best meal ever normally I'd be happy with just this but today feels a bit different hey Corey why do you keep staring at your phone what what's the problem nothing's wrong but I'm finally home you've been glued to your phone and haven't really talked to me we've been in touch through calls and emails all this time haven't we there's nothing new to talk about now that might be true but it's been a long time since we've seen each other like this
so why my frustration with my husband's attitude makes my voice rise it looks like my comment upset him he stood up put his foam on the table and glared at me you know what you were just on a plane but I'm exhausted from work got it hold on I also jumped on a plane right after work didn't you talk to me like that I did didn't ask you to do that you just rushed home on your own what you don't have to say it like that I missed you I'm just saying I didn't ask you
to come home if you're going to be like this don't come back at all you're being annoying Tyra he slammed the table and stormed out of the living room leaving his dinner untouched what's wrong with him why is he being so cold I haven't seen him in a long time was I the only one excited to see him what's the point of coming home early if it's like this tears fell from my eyes and onto the table our reunion was even more disappointing than I had feared the next day his attitude didn't improve when I
greeted him with a good morning he looked at me coldly I envy you he said you get to relax at home all the time while I'm stuck working that's not true I replied I have a lot of work to do like summarizing our activities and preparing for the next training session it's a lot of work more than you think either way it's something you can do at home I wish I had a job where I could spend half the year like that you don't have to talk like that well I'm just a company guy so
I have to go to work you enjoy your time at home princess what the heck Corey ignoring me my husband left the house we had a few arguments before we got married but he had never been this sarcastic I was really confused by his behavior and wondered if his words were causing problems between us I thought about what I might do to improve the situation while I was going through work materials I decided to tidy up the house as I was vacuuming and changing the bed linin my phone rain it was my mother-in-law feeling uneasy
I answered the call hello Tyra here hi Tyra it's been a while I heard your back home and that you were rag yesterday yes that's right and I also heard you upset Corey he was quite angry I'm sorry but it's nothing that should concern you why since you're back how about we plan a family trip what I was taken aback by her suggestion before I could respond my mother-in-law continued I was just talking with my husband up going to St Bert's Island and Cory mentioned he wanted to join us what that's sub Tyra you're used
to traveling abroad right could you help us with hotel reservations and other arrangements me or are you having trouble understanding what your mother-in-law is asking you to do her voice grew colder it was clear she didn't really want to travel with me she just thought it would be easier for her since I'm experienced with travel I knew my mother-in-law didn't have a high opinion of me she'd been sarcastic ever since we first met at the wedding reception even after 2 years of marriage things hadn't changed I often received messages from her while I was working
abroad how can you be a wife and stay away from home for months if you don't take care of the house I'd rather my son marry someone else it was a mistake to let him marry you that's the kind of text I used to get from her so I had a bad feeling about this call I never imagined I'd be used for planning a family vacation but maybe it's better than the usual verbal abuse I was frustrated with myself for not being able to say no even though I knew I was being used a few
hours later my husband came home from work in a much better mood than earlier he tossed his briefcase on the sofa and smiling widely called out to me mom called didn't she we can go on a trip to St B's yeah I heard but you know what what you're not thinking of turning it down are you mom wants you to come with us I understand but why don't you just go with your mom and dad like you originally planned as soon as I said that my husband's demeanor changed he clicked his tongue and his tone
became more threatening you need to understand your role here the only time you're useful to us is when we're traveling you don't have to speak like that it's true isn't it anyway you'll handle all the flight and hotel bookings and everything should be in my name as you probably know what Corey you're going to pay for the whole trip what are you talking about we'll split the cost 50/50s it's a small price to pay to show respect to our parents what is that supposed to mean if you got time to lounge around at home make
the reservations now this isn't right I don't want to what are you mumbling about my husband grabbed a beer from the fridge and drank it in one gulp I had a lot on my mind but I wasn't sure what might happen if I resisted I felt embarrassed but I had no choice but to do what my husband and mother-in-law wanted I made all the arrangements for the flights and accommodations for the trip to St Bert's just as my husband had ordered on the day of the trip I was set to pick them up at my
in-law's house and head straight to the airport a few days before the trip I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night I noticed my husband who was supposed to be next to me wasn't there I went to the living room and heard him talking on the phone with someone oh it's okay it's all okay Mom I'll be there first thing in the morning is planned mom please handle the passport issue anyway seriously I'm looking forward to it I'll make sure to introduce her to you when I get back I was puzzled by some of
what he said passport introducing her since he called her mom I was pretty sure he was talking to my mother-in-law it seemed like there was something going on between them that I didn't know about in the first place place it didn't sit right with me that he wanted me to go on this trip what could they be planning if I went to my in-law's house I didn't have all the details but I decided to stay extremely cautious until the day of the trip the day of our trip to St Bert's finally arrived I packed my
carry-on and handbag which included my husband's things as well with everything ready my husband and I headed to my in-laws house I braced myself for whatever was coming knowing I had to deal with it when we arrived at my my in-law's house my mother-in-law was the only one to greet us oh hi Tyra it's been a while good to see you we're almost ready I'm going to grab a few things for the trip so it might be a little while okay take your time oh Anda could you bring the carry-on case from the other room
it's heavy so please get Cory to help you sure I'll do that I noticed when my husband and mother-in-law exchanged knowing looks I kept my passport in my pocket just in case following my husband's instructions I carried the carry-on case back into the living room there was my mother-in-law smiling with a hint of Mischief she was holding my passport and grinning now you can't go on the trip to St BDS she said what do you mean I'm going to burn this passport right now what did you just say I was just using you to handle
the trip Arrangements what are you doing you're a stranger here so Youk be staying behind too bad she went to the kitchen lit the passport with a lighter and washed it burn the passport started to turn to black ashes in the sink once it was completely destroyed she said we did it my husband cheered yeah Mom we made it no I said it's just the three of us on this trip we'll get to meet Cory's new girlfriend when we get back right yeah I've already set that up my mother-in-law replied we don't need this useless
woman anymore my father-in-law said you know when something isn't working he pulled out his cell phone and showed me pictures of himself with another woman looking pleased with himself I'm not divorcing you for the sake of my reputation but you'll be staying here while we go on our trip when we get back I'll move in with her and you can leave my mother-in-law laughed mockingly at his words their expressions were full of malice at that moment I knew I didn't belong in a family like this anymore I forced a smile and said by the way
whose passport is that what are you talking about it's yours of course I took it out of your handbag so it's your passport my passport is right here I said holding it up what why it can't be I pulled my passport from my pocket and showed it to her my mother-in-law's face went pale as she stared at me in panic that's not possible she said her voice trembling yes it's my passport see for yourself it seemed that my mother-in-law had snuck into my handbag and miss mistakenly thought she'd have found my passport how could she
have burned it without checking properly especially with her malicious plans who passport did I burn then she asked her voice quivering I guess it was your son's passport that was in there so you burned my son's passport she asked horrified my mother-in-law turned white and began to tremble my husband Furious started blaming her mom what have you done I told you to be careful I only found one passport in her handbag who would have thought it belonged to me I don't care you didn't check properly and now look what happened you're saying it's my fault
if you had checked from the start I wouldn't have made this mistake what the hell before long they were blaming each other I was Furious and disgusted by their behavior hey Tyra do something my husband yelled at me but I was not about to back down seriously who do you think you are telling me what to do you cheated on me behind my back how dare you both you and your mother are despicable hey who do you think you're talking to I'm talking to you and your awful mother don't think I'm just going to let
this slide you're going to pay me back for the affair and all the nasty things your mother has said to me be ready just then my father-in-law came downstairs what's going on what are you doing when I told my father-in-law everything he was Furious the trip was cancelled my mother-in got a divorce and my husband was disowned by his father and banned from coming home I consulted a lawyer and we finalized the divorce I also demanded alimony from both my ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law they had to pay the alimony in one lump sum and cover the
cost of canceling the trip to St berts since they didn't save any money they had to borrow to cover the alimony in the end they managed to repay everything by borrowing funds now my ex-husband lives with his mother and it looks like a struggling financially he was also dumped by the woman he had an affair with as for me I Ed the alimony money to move into a condo and enjoy living alone after all the cheating and mistreatment I went through many difficulties but now I'm free and loving life I plan to continue traveling learning
