My best friend worked for us as a housekeeper: but after she moved out, my 70-year-old father-in-law became overly cheerful and then demanded that his room be soundproofed 😱😱
I got married far away from my family, and with so much work, I barely had time to stay home and care for my ailing father-in-law. So, when I learned that my best friend urgently needed a job, I decided to help her.
My best friend worked for us as a housekeeper: but after she moved out, my 70-year-old father-in-law became overly cheerful and then demanded that his room be soundproofed.
I hired her as a housekeeper, paying her 10,000 rubles a month. I thought it was a convenient solution: I would have someone I trusted, and I would also support her financially.
At first, everything was perfect. My friend worked with passion, and I felt at peace. But after a couple of weeks, strange things began to appear.
My father-in-law, who had previously complained of fatigue and could barely get out of bed, suddenly transformed: he began waking up cheerful, full of energy, whistling to himself.
He seemed to have aged several years. My friend, on the other hand, looked worse with each passing day: her face was growing paler, shadows had appeared under her eyes, and her smile was becoming strained. To my questions, she would only answer:
“Everything’s fine, I’m just getting used to the job…”
But her eyes betrayed anxiety. At night, I would notice her room empty, and in the morning, she would return exhausted. And every time my father-in-law entered the room, she would turn away, as if trying to hide her fear.
My best friend worked as our housekeeper, but after she moved out, my 70-year-old father-in-law became overly cheerful and then demanded that his room be soundproofed.
The final straw came the day my father-in-law insistently demanded that we remodel the house—build a soundproofed room with an internal lock. We were shocked: why would a 70-year-old man need such conditions?
I couldn’t stand it any longer and pulled my friend aside. Her lips trembled, and finally she confessed. I was absolutely shocked when she said what she said 😨😱 Continued 👇👇
— Your crazy father-in-law calls me to his place every night. He makes me lie down next to him, saying he can’t sleep otherwise. He threatens that if I refuse, he’ll say such things that I’ll be thrown out of this house… He also said he took a photo of me while I was showering, and if I refuse, all the footage will end up online.
My best friend worked for us as a housekeeper: but after she moved out, my 70-year-old father-in-law became overly cheerful, and then demanded that his room be soundproofed.
I’m afraid, you know? He whispers that no one will believe me, but they will believe him. He says he loves me and wants me to be his wife. He’s crazy, you know? And he can do anything to us.
Her words shocked me. Everything became clear: his sudden cheerfulness and her exhaustion were the result of his cruel manipulation.
I kicked him out and sent him to a nursing home, but our friendship was irreparable—her betrayal and silence had hurt me too deeply.
