I Went to Visit My In-Laws and Found My MIL Locked in the Attic – I Went Pale When I Found Out Why

I visited my in-laws alone last weekend and discovered something horrifying. Bryce, my husband, couldn’t make it, so I went to surprise his mom, Sharon, with cookies. When I arrived, the house was eerily quiet, and Sharon was nowhere to be found. Texting Frank, he said she was “resting,” but something felt wrong.

I eventually found Sharon locked in the attic—Frank had locked her there as punishment for reorganizing his “man cave.” Furious, I helped Sharon leave and brought her to my house. When Frank demanded she return, Bryce confronted him, furious over his father’s behavior.

Sharon refused to go back, deciding to file for divorce. She moved into an apartment and began pursuing her passions. Sharon’s newfound freedom was a victory, and Bryce supported her every step of the way.
