Mo and her husband, Alex, had just moved into their new apartment, a gift largely funded by her parents. The apartment was their dream, a place to build their future together. But when Mo decided to throw a housewarming party to celebrate, things took an unexpected turn.

During the party, Alex’s mother, Barbara, made a shocking suggestion: Mo should give the apartment to her sister-in-law, Katie, because she and her children needed it more. To Mo’s disbelief, Alex casually supported this idea, claiming that they could stay with his mother for a while, and that Katie deserved the apartment. The suggestion was made without consulting Mo, completely blindsiding her.
