My husband said I was crazy for thinking his mom had a key to our house. Then I installed cameras and watched her walk in every Tuesday while we were at work. It started with small things.
A coffee mug in the sink that neither of us remembered using. The living room pillows arranged differently than how I’d left them. My shampoo bottle moved from the left side of the shower to the right.
When I mentioned it to my husband, he laughed it off. “You’re probably just forgetting,” he’d say. “We’re both so busy lately.”
But I wasn’t forgetting.
I started taking photos of rooms before leaving for work. The bathroom counter with my makeup exactly where I’d placed it. The kitchen with dishes stacked a certain way.
And every Tuesday evening, something would be different. Not dramatically, just enough to make me question my own sanity. My husband insisted I was being paranoid when I suggested his mom might have a key.
“Why would my mother sneak into our house? That’s insane. She lives forty minutes away.”
Except his mom had always been controlling.
During our engagement, she’d shown up at my apartment unannounced six times, letting herself in with a key my husband had given her without telling me. When we bought our house, I’d made him promise she wouldn’t have access. He swore she didn’t, but the evidence kept mounting.
One Tuesday, I came home to find my underwear drawer reorganized. Everything folded differently, sorted by color instead of type. My stomach dropped.
I called my husband at work. “Someone’s been in our house. In our bedroom.”
He sighed like I was exhausting him.
