MY MIL LOCKED ME IN THE BASEMENT ON CHRISTMAS EVE BECAUSE 'I WASN'T FAMILY'
Sharon, my MIL, has always treated me like an intruder who "stole" her precious son. Every holiday with her is a nightmare, but this Christmas Eve? She went too far.
Dinner was its usual passive-aggressive circus. Sharon skipped me when passing dishes and made snide comments like, "Oh, store-bought cookies. Really? What kind of a housewife does this?" I gritted my teeth and endured it.
After dinner, Sharon asked me to grab a bottle of wine from the basement pantry. Harmless, right? Nope.
The second I stepped into the basement, the door slammed shut behind me. I laughed nervously, thinking it was an accident — until I heard the lock click.
"Sharon? Open the door!" I shouted. Nothing. Then I heard her laugh as she walked back to the living room.
Panicking, I banged on the door and screamed, but nobody could hear me.
But what happened to Sharon while I was in the basement was worth every second I spent there. ⬇️
