Part 3<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I closed the door.<\/p>\n

Vanessa immediately began screaming even louder.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Then I reopened it with my attorney speaking through the phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Hart,\u201d he said, \u201cdo not touch that document.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mom became completely still.<\/p>\n

My attorney continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Lawson, if Emily\u2019s personal information was used on a loan application without consent, we will request the lender\u2019s complete file and report any fraudulent submission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mom stopped crying instantly.<\/p>\n

That told me everything.<\/p>\n

Dad had not merely considered using my name.<\/p>\n

He had already attempted it.<\/p>\n

I removed the chain and took the document from Mom.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you forge my signature?\u201d<\/p>\n

She whispered, \u201cYour father said it was only to see if you qualified.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanessa gasped.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom.\u201d<\/p>\n

I laughed once, quietly.<\/p>\n

The final connection between us broke.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou sent me a bill for love,\u201d I said. \u201cThen tried to borrow against my name when your favorite daughter\u2019s fairy tale came due.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanessa\u2019s face collapsed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t call me that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou earned it.\u201d<\/p>\n

My attorney filed the appropriate notices the next morning.<\/p>\n

The lender immediately froze the refinancing application.<\/p>\n

Dad\u2019s financial accounts were placed under review.<\/p>\n

Before Christmas, my parents listed their house for sale because no miracle daughter remained to rescue them.<\/p>\n
