My stomach dropped. I opened WhatsApp, and the unread notifications were already past 99.
Someone had dropped a photo into the group chat. It showed Mom standing outside our office building, holding a huge cardboard sign.
The sign had a few large words on it. "Ingrate Eileen Allen abandoned her parents! Shame on her!"
Below, in smaller letters, it said I had forgotten my roots after getting married, let my parents go hungry, forced my sister-in-law to return to her parents' home, and called the police on my brother.
