I came home after thirteen hours at the hospital and found a chain wrapped through the handles of my refrigerator, secured with a brass padlock. My mother-in-law stood in my kitchen and told me, “If you want something to eat, you can ask me like everyone else.” My husband stared at the floor instead of defending me. I went to the garage, came back with a hammer, and broke the lock off—but by then, I already knew the refrigerator wasn’t the biggest thing they had tried to take from me.
