After a week of sun and sand, Catherine was shocked to discover her new neighbor Jeffrey had built an imposing fence on her property. As a single mom, she couldn’t let this slide. What did she do to teach him a lesson he’d never forget? Life as a single mom isn’t easy, but I’ve been making it work. I’m Catherine, 40 years old, and I’ve been raising my two boys, Liam (10) and Chris (8), all by myself for the past year. Their father and I parted ways when I caught him cheating with another woman. Well, that’s a story for another time. About two months ago, I bought a new house and moved in with my kids. It’s in a peaceful neighborhood with a beautiful forest nearby.

Everything about our new neighborhood seemed perfect until I met my next-door neighbor, Jeffrey. We had been at odds since the beginning.I’ll never forget our first interaction. It had been a day since we moved in when I heard a knock at my door. When I opened it, I saw him standing at my doorstep with a folder in his hand. “Hello there, neighbor!” he said, extending his hand. “I’m Jeffrey. Welcome to the neighborhood!” I shook his hand. How nice! I thought. I wish I knew what would happen in the days to come. “I wanted to discuss something important with you,” he continued, opening his folder.
