Emily and her husband, Alex, lead busy lives, balancing demanding jobs and personal projects. Despite their hectic schedules, they’ve always made an effort to attend family gatherings.
However, Emily noticed her family starting to distance themselves from her. Concerned, she discussed it with Alex, who tried to reassure her, but her worries persisted.
Months passed with uncomfortable silence from her family, leaving Emily feeling isolated. She confided in her mother, who dismissed her concerns. Feeling singled out, Emily’s anxiety grew until she ran into her Aunt Linda at the grocery store.
Aunt Linda mentioned a recent family get-together Emily hadn’t been invited to, prompting Emily to ask about the rumors her mother had spread about her being a scammer.
