I Came Home Early from a Work Trip to Surprise My Husband and Kids—What I Found in the Backyard Tent Shattered Our Family

I Came Home Early—and Found a Tent That Ended My Marriage

I came home early, expecting hugs and chaos. Instead, the house was silent. Through the window, I saw a giant tent in our backyard—a tent we didn’t own.

Out crawled my husband, John—sweaty, guilty, and half-dressed. Inside sat his mother, Sylvia, surrounded by crystals and incense. She calmly said they were “cleansing our family’s energy.”

Then I found out he’d been doing this every week while the kids stayed elsewhere—and that he’d drained $50,000 from our home equity to fund her “wellness business.”

When I confronted him, he said my “negative aura” was the problem.

The next morning, I froze our accounts, called a lawyer, and filed for divorce.
