I hurried home with my two children, eager to tell my husband that I’d inherited $24 million and a controlling interest in a Manhattan skyscraper. Instead, I found him standing on our front porch with his mistress, divorce papers, and two suitcases filled with my clothes.
“This house belongs to us now,” the woman announced smugly. “You need to leave.”

For eleven years, I believed my marriage was a partnership. Grant operated a consulting business in White Plains, while I worked from home editing medical documents, usually after putting the children to bed.
There were countless evenings when I worked past midnight to help cover expenses.
When Grant first opened his office, I even sold a gold bracelet my mother had given me so he could afford the rent.
