When my granddaughter Ashley threw me out after I got married at 80, I decided I couldn’t condone the disrespect.

With my new husband, Harold, we devised a daring plan to teach her a lesson she’d never forget, leading to a confrontation that would change our family forever.

I never thought I’d be telling this story, but here we are. My name is Margaret. I lived with Ashley, who I raised after her parents died.

But when I told her I was marrying Harold, she said, “You’re too old for a wedding dress,” and kicked me out. After everything I had done for her, I felt so betrayed.
