My Ex’s Mom Called Me to Fix Her Fence… Then Said, “You Always Were My Favorite.”

Synopsis

My ex-wife’s mother called me at 7:03 on a cold October morning and said only six words. “The fence is broken. Come fix it.” No hello. No “how have you been.” No apology for the two years of silence after her daughter humiliated me at Thanksgiving, took half my clients, and walked out of our marriage like I was an old couch on the curb.
