They kept me out of their cottage for 4 years because of “mold”—after they died, the lawyer handed me a key… and that door made me freeze.
They told me the cottage had a mold problem. Said it wasn’t safe to visit.
I believed them for four years.
My name is Margaret Ouellet. I’m 64 years old, a retired French immersion teacher from Thunder Bay, Ontario. My days had settled into a quiet rhythm—morning walks along the Lake Superior shoreline, tending my herb garden, and the occasional video call with friends from the school where I’d spent thirty-one years of my life. I thought the biggest chapters of my story were already written.
