My son and daughter-in-law burst out laughing the moment I walked into the courtroom. “Ha-ha, now we’re going to leave her with nothing.” But they didn’t know the first thing about me, and as soon as the judge laid eyes on me, he said, “Mrs. Eleanor Vance? Is that you?”

The ink on my divorce decree was barely dry when my ex-husband paraded his pregnant mistress down the courthouse steps like a trophy.
