Penelope reluctantly allowed her twins, Ava and Blair, to stay with their grandparents for a few days, hoping it would be a good experience. However, she was uneasy, knowing her in-laws treated the girls differently because they were adopted.

When Penelope called to check on them, Ava whispered, “Mom, we’re scared… we think we saw some rats.” Blair added, “The hay is very sharp… Why can’t we sleep inside?” The twins were placed in a shed, while the other grandchildren slept comfortably indoors.

Furious, Penelope rushed to get her children. Confronting her mother-in-law, Linda, she was told the twins were treated this way because they “aren’t as important as the others. They’re adopted.”

Penelope left with her girls and later, her husband Seth confronted his parents, stating, “Until you can show that you love and respect all your grandchildren equally, you won’t be seeing any of us.” The incident led to a family rift, leaving Linda alone on her 70th birthday, full of regret.
