Nothing cuts quite like betrayal—especially when it’s from the one person you’d move mountains for. For Elizabeth, a devoted single mother, the pain hit like a freight train when her only daughter—her entire world—turned her generous act of love into a nightmare. She wrote in to share her side of the story—and to ask what to do next.

Here’s Elizabeth’s raw and emotional letter:

“My daughter just got married and told me how perfect my house would be for starting a family. I live alone in a spacious four-bedroom apartment, so I did what any loving mom would do—I gave it to her. I moved in with my sister, happy to make room for their new life together. She’s my only child, and I’ve never married—so she’s all I’ve got. Gifting her the house felt right, and financially, I was in a place to do it.”

But that gift came at a devastating cost.

“A few weeks in, I noticed she started acting… different. Distant. Cold. So I paid her a visit—only to find strangers inside my old home. When I asked her what was going on, she calmly said she was planning to sell the place to fund their dream life. I was blindsided. That house was meant to be their home—not a check to cash. I begged her not to go through with it, but she insisted it was hers to do with as she pleased.”

Crushed by the betrayal, Elizabeth took legal action.

“I’ll admit—I was hurt and furious. So, I went to a lawyer. Turns out, the house was still in my name since we hadn’t finalized the paperwork. Long story short: they had to move out. The house is now sitting empty. And my daughter? She’s cut me off completely. No messages, no calls—nothing. We used to be so close. Now, I feel like she played me. Lied to me. And it’s killing me inside.”

Now, Elizabeth is left grappling with more than just an empty house—she’s trying to make sense of the emotional wreckage.

“How do I fix things with my daughter? And how do I move past this betrayal?”
