My Sister Called CPS on Me While I Was Fighting for My Life at the Hospital – When I Learned Why, I Had to Teach Her a Lesson

I never imagined my own sister would try to destroy my life over money. I’m Liv, 29, a single mom to five-year-old Noah and three-month-old Hazel. Their dad left when I was pregnant with Hazel, and I had to care for him, my kids, and my dying father alone.

Dad left nearly everything to Noah in a trust fund. My sister Hailey lost it. Weeks later, while I was hospitalized with kidney complications, she broke into my apartment, made it look unsafe, and called CPS to try to take my kids.

Luckily, my security cameras caught everything. I sent the footage to CPS and my lawyer. Hailey was charged with filing a false report, breaking and entering, and attempted fraud. A restraining order ensured she couldn’t contact us.

Now, the kids are safe, the trust fund secure, and life is calmer. But every time I tuck them in, I remember how close we came to losing everything—and how far we’ve come.
