At 12:43 AM, my weeping daughter called from the curb: ‘Grandpa threw all my stuff out to make room for my cousin, and Dad just stood there.’ Leaving my ER shift immediately, I raced home only to face my father-in-law’s sneer: ‘We call the shots in this house.’ The arrogant freeloaders thought they had us beaten.
