4. The Dad Who Kicked Out His Daughter — And Paid the Price
Carla lost her mother young and grew up with her father, who eventually remarried. She got along with her stepsister and helped with her younger half-siblings.
Then one day, her father announced he needed her bedroom for a new baby — and she had two months to move out.
Carla turned to her grandfather, who not only gave her a place to live rent-free but also handed her $15,000 to get started.
It wasn’t until later that Carla learned her grandfather actually owned her father’s house — and began charging him rent after the eviction stunt.
With her new independence, Carla set boundaries. She kept in touch with her siblings, stayed close to her grandparents, and pursued her own goals. Meanwhile, her father had to face the consequences of losing his daughter’s trust — and his financial cushion.
