Within ten minutes, the comments had completely shifted. People I’d known for decades started chiming in about how sharp and capable I had always been, how I had single-handedly run the farm after Joe died, how ridiculous it was to suggest I couldn’t handle my own money.
My phone rang.
Dr. Phillips.
“Margaret, I just saw the Facebook mess. I want you to know that if anyone questions your mental competency, I have extensive documentation of your excellent cognitive function.”
“Thank you, Dr. Phillips. I have a feeling I’m going to need that documentation sooner rather than later.”
“Is there something else going on I should know about?”
I looked out my kitchen window and saw a car I didn’t recognize parked across the street. It had been there since yesterday.
“Let’s just say my family situation is getting complicated.”
After I hung up, Frank was shaking his head.
“Maggie, you just declared war on social media.”
