Holidays are supposed to bring families together, but for Olivia, this Thanksgiving became a nightmare. She had big hopes of creating a heartwarming moment for her grandchildren, so she made a bold decision: she invited her son’s first wife to Thanksgiving dinner.
Olivia thought this would bring some peace and happiness, letting the kids celebrate the holiday with both their parents.
But things didn’t go as she expected.
Olivia’s son had remarried, and his new wife, understandably, was not happy about this choice. She was furious and felt completely disrespected. When Olivia stood her ground, saying, “She’s more family to us than you!
My grandkids deserve to celebrate with both parents,” the tension reached a breaking point. The new wife, red with anger, stormed out of the house, leaving everyone in shock. Olivia’s son, stuck in the middle, decided to stay with his mother, trying to calm the situation.
But then, disaster struck. Just an hour later, the doorbell rang. The police had arrived.
Olivia’s heart sank when they explained that someone had made an anonymous call about a loud family argument and raised concerns about the children’s safety. The officers began to search the house, looking for any signs of trouble. Olivia was confused, scared, and devastated. How had it come to this?
To make matters worse, her son was taken to the police station for questioning. The peaceful Thanksgiving she had hoped for was spiraling into chaos.
It wasn’t until much later that the truth came out. The police determined that the children were never in danger, and they released her son. But the real shock came when Olivia’s daughter-in-law admitted to making the call.
She had done it on purpose, trying to ruin the holiday because she felt unwelcome in her own home. Olivia was stunned. “I never imagined she’d be so vindictive,” she said.
All Olivia wanted was for her grandchildren to have a wonderful Thanksgiving with their mom. She never expected things to go so wrong. She couldn’t help but wonder: Did I make a mistake?

She definitely was wrong..she’s a guest in there house..had no.right to invite someone without permission.
Yes, she was in the wrong to invite the ex-wife, she whould have asked his current wife it would be okay to have her there for the kids sake, but to go behind her back was wrong.
