Confessions: My husband died before building a house for me, how do I approach my co-wife?

I don’t know how to bring up the land issue since it is the only asset I have in my name (Photo: Shutterstock)

I am a mother of one. My husband died in February 2014 leaving his first family - a wife and two daughters - and myself as the second wife with a son. We are both customarily married. We had collectively bought land where he put up a house. To safeguard my money, the land is in my name but he put up a house for the other family. They don’t know this land is under my name and he died before building a house for me. My business has since gone down and I cannot make enough cash to sustain my son and I. I really need a place to live without paying rent, but I don’t know how to bring up the land issue since it is the only asset I have in my name. Please advise me.
