Without asking, my father-in-law destroyed my cherished flower garden to install his own swimming pool. Fate dealt him a harsh blow in return

When my father-in-law Richard bulldozed my treasured garden to illegally install his own swimming pool, I was infuriated. However, as the adage implies, fate has its own way of balancing the scales. The series of unforeseen events that followed transformed his pet project into an utter fiasco.

I never envisioned witnessing karma in action, yet it arrived with a vengeance. Prepare yourself with a cup of coffee and settle in, as this tale is a rollercoaster from beginning to end.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Linda, a 40-year-old high school English teacher residing with my spouse Tom and my father-in-law Richard.

Tom and I have shared 15 delightful years of marriage, having been together since our college days. Life flowed relatively smoothly until about two years ago when Richard moved in with us following the passing of my mother-in-law.
