Forced Into Fake Divorce for His Brother, I Left Them

Every time my mother-in-law came asking me for money to prop up her younger son, I'd pull out a written statement. "Sign the IOU, and the money's yours." They all assumed I was only putting on a show, but not once did any of them actually pay a cent back. Then, when I was eight months pregnant, my husband slapped a divorce agreement down on the dinner table. His mother stood off to the side, all smiles. "Sweetie, just put up with a fake divorce so we can transfer the deed. The second your brother-in-law's got his house papers, you two remarry right away!"
