When my son called me in a panic saying his mom was screaming and unknown voices were laughing in our house, I raced home fearing the worst. But nothing could\u2019ve prepared me for what was going on in my bedroom.My day started perfectly normal. I was clicking away at my desk, trying to look for a missing file, when my phone started buzzing with a text. I glanced briefly and realized it was Luke, my eight-year-old kid. Turns out, he had already tried to call me around 10 times.\n
That was odd. Kids these days hate talking on the phone, so I was already freaked out when I called him back.\u201dDaddy, please come home!! Mom is screaming!\u201d \u201cSlow down, buddy. What\u2019s happening?\u201d \u201cDaddy, I don\u2019t know what to do. I just came home and now I hear mom screaming in her room!\u201d\u201dWhy didn\u2019t you go into her room?\u201d I asked. \u201cI\u2019m too scared to go inside. I hear other voices in there!\u201d \u201cOkay, okay! Stay in your room. Lock the door! I\u2019ll call your mom,\u201d I said, trying not to panic, and hung up.I searched for my wife Nikkie\u2019s number quickly, but the call went straight to voicemail. Great.\n
That wasn\u2019t like her. We had a child. We were never supposed to turn off our phones! So I just made a split-second decision to call the cops as I picked up my wallet and jacket, rushing out of the office. I told 911 that intruders were at my house and to please get there quickly. Getting my car, I raced home, still calling Nikkie and getting more worried by the second. When I arrived, I saw that the cops still hadn\u2019t made it.But I couldn\u2019t wait. In the back of my head, I thought the worst. Images of Nikkie\u2019s tear-stained face rushed through me, and the other voices Luke had mentioned\u2026 well, something terrible must be happening to my wife in there. For the first time in my life, I wished we had a weapon at home. We didn\u2019t even have a baseball bat because Luke was into football and basketball. Finally, I decided that whatever awaited me inside would have to be faced bare-handed.So, I kicked the door open, not knowing what I would see. First, I heard a loud, piercing female scream. And second, I saw her face. Air rushed out of my body like a deflating balloon.\n
It wasn\u2019t my wife.It was her sister, Diana, having a\u2026 let\u2019s call it a \u201cparty\u201d with two guys. In my room. In my bed. Not exactly the family gathering you\u2019d expect. Right on cue, Nikkie came in with cops running right behind her. The look on her face when she saw her sister was priceless. Her sister was the baby of the family and loved by all. Until then. \u201cDiana?! What the heck?!\u201d Nikkie blurted out.My sister-in-law rose from the bed, covering herself with my expensive sheets, and shrugged. \u201cI thought no one would be home. Just having a bit of fun, that\u2019s all.\u201d Yeah, \u201cfun.\u201d In our bedroom. With strangers.Why did she do this, you ask? Well, my sister-in-law is married, and she decided that our house was the best place for her extramarital encounters. Apparently, this had been going on for a while thanks to the spare key Nikkie gave her. But this time, my son returned home from school early after feeling sick. A teacher who lived nearby was nice enough to drive him home while Nikkie arranged to get the rest of her day off from work. Obviously, the teacher left, thinking our boy would be safe in his house.\n
Yes, his home was supposed to be safe. The cops took in the scene and talked to everyone involved. I was so embarrassed, apologizing to them profusely for the misunderstanding. Still, it took two hours before they left, and then I went to Luke\u2019s room and saw him wrapped around Nikkie.My boy was traumatized. Honestly, so was I. \u201cSo, Mom wasn\u2019t in danger?\u201d he asked, still unsure despite holding his mother. \u201cNo, my boy. It was just your Aunt Diana being funny,\u201d I reassured. \u201cBut don\u2019t worry because we won\u2019t be seeing her again any time soon.\u201d I gave Nikkie a serious look, and she nodded. We officially went no-contact with her sister, but I did send her husband a warning text. After all, he deserved to know what his wife was doing.Have you ever cut ties with a family member after something like this?\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
