With a calm determination that surprised even me, I compiled a comprehensive folder. It contained timestamps, images, and detailed accounts of each intrusion and violation. I wasn’t just documenting the past; I was preparing for the future. A future where I wouldn’t be the family pushover.
I spent two more days consulting with a lawyer, detailing the misuse of my property and the deliberate damage to the pool. My legal counsel assured me that the evidence was solid. We had a case. I wasn’t looking for vengeance, but repair and response. I needed them to understand that actions have consequences.
