Some choices tear you apart long before the internet gets its say. I never thought I’d be the kind of person accused of “abandoning” family, but here I am — painted as the villain on Facebook for refusing to open my doors. Yes, I have a big, beautiful home. Yes, I live alone. And yes… my sister, her husband, and their four young kids are about to be without a place to stay. The pressure from my family has been relentless, but the truth is — letting them in might destroy more than just my peace of mind.

Now my phone won’t stop buzzing with messages calling me cold, selfish, and heartless. But they don’t have to live with six extra people, four of them under the age of five, turning my hard-earned home into chaos — or watch their investment go up in crumbs, spills, and crayon marks. I’m left wondering if I’m the villain here… or if everyone else just expects me to set myself on fire to keep them warm.
