I thought buying our dream home would bring Louis and me closer. Instead, it became the stage where I discovered his true nature—and how far some people will go to get what they want.

We pinched pennies for our wedding. I remember counting coins just to buy centerpieces. After we tied the knot, every spare dollar went toward one goal: a home of our own. It wasn’t always easy—nights out were traded for savings goals—but it was worth it. We were building something. So when we finally bought the house—a charming two-story with a white fence and a big yard—it felt like we’d made it. My design business was flourishing, we had space, and Louis even began talking about starting a family. “I can already picture them running around out there,” he’d say with a mug of coffee, staring out the kitchen… CONTINUE READING…

There’s no better way to escape the sky-high temperatures than a day at the beach, but even though the shore can provide some relief, one Massachusetts mother learned it also comes with its own set of unique dangers. And now she wants to warn others. Even though the scare happened more than a week ago, Heather Cassini said she’s still “shaking.” Cassini, 40, was visiting Hampton Beach in New Hampshire on July 4 with her family when all of a sudden her 10-year-old son Declan said he didn’t feel good. At first Cassini wasn’t concerned.
