My DIL Crashed My Car after Taking It without Permission – She Refused to Pay for Repairs, but Karma Stepped In

I’m Sandra, 57, a widow. My son Derek and his wife Lindsay moved in temporarily—but they never left. One morning, I found my car wrecked in the driveway. Lindsay casually admitted she’d taken it in the middle of the night and crashed it. She refused to pay for repairs, acting like it was no big deal.

Something felt off. That evening, she left claiming she was “meeting a friend.” I called Derek. He revealed a coworker had been expecting a woman from a dating app—who sounded exactly like Lindsay. My heart sank.

It wasn’t just an accident. She’d been sneaking around behind Derek’s back. That night, I packed her things. When Derek returned, they had a final confrontation. She left, and Derek filed for divorce.

Some betrayals are too deep to ignore—but protecting your family is worth every hard choice.
