An hour later, the police knocked on the door.
My heart dropped when we found out that someone had made an anonymous call,reporting a loud family dispute and concerns for the children’s safety. We were sh0cked when they began searching the house and even took my son to the station for questioning.
Our peaceful Thanksgiving was ruined, turning into a tragic memory.

The police eventually realized the children were never in danger and released my son.

My daughter-in-law later admitted that she made the call to sabotage the evening because she felt unwelcome in her own house. I never imagined she’d be so vindictive.I only wanted my grandkids to have a nice Thanksgiving with their mother. Did I do something wrong?
