Chapter 9 - What I had been told
After Claire died, Marlene told me something very different.
She said:
“Claire was terrified about Lily.”
Of course she was.
Then:
“She asked me to promise I would always help manage Lily’s money.”
I believed that too.
Then:
“She wanted me involved if anything ever happened to you.”
That statement eventually became:
“Claire wanted me as the backup guardian.”
I never saw a signed document proving it.
I did not think I needed one.
Why would my dead wife’s mother lie about her final wishes?
That question haunted me.
The answer was not:
Because Marlene was secretly evil her entire life.

Reality was uglier.
She had convinced herself that Claire’s wishes were wrong.
