When a mother decides to betray her own child by taking her rightful inheritance, she underestimates the consequences that will later come back to haunt her. This is exactly what happened to a Reddit user’s mother, who selfishly funded her lavish lifestyle using her daughter’s inheritance.
The story begins with the user’s grandmother, a hardworking woman who ran an upholstery business for 50 years. As she approached the end of her life, she carefully considered how to distribute her wealth among her children and grandchildren. She wanted to ensure that each person received a fair share based on their individual needs and future prospects.
The user’s mother, however, had grander ambitions. She wanted a larger share than the rest of the family and believed that she deserved it. But her grandmother remained firm and made her decision based on what she believed was best for each family member.
In the end, the mother received her late parent’s heirloom jewelry, while the user’s brother received the delivery van from the upholstery business. But the most significant gift was the education trust that the grandmother set up for the user, worth $30,000. This enraged the mother, who felt that her daughter’s college fund was worth more than the jewelry and the van.
But little did the user know that her mother had a wicked plan in the works. Two years later, when the user turned 18 and asked her mother for access to her trust fund, she received a shocking confession. Her mother admitted that she had drained the trust and used the money to buy a property for her dream house.
Devastated by her mother’s deceit, the user confronted her and demanded her money back. But without the means to take her mother to court, she had to find another way to protect herself. She made the difficult decision to cut her mother out of her life and moved out to start afresh.
In a twist of karma, the mother soon faced the consequences of her actions. It turned out that she had not paid any taxes on the money she had taken from the trust, nor had she paid any property taxes for her dream house. After a lengthy legal battle, she was forced to sell her once highly valued $700,000 house for a mere $220,000 settlement.
With a debt of $30,000 still remaining and other construction and tax debts amounting to $250,000, the mother was left bankrupt. She had to downsize to a modest apartment and spend the next few years paying off her debts. Eventually, she retired with no savings and continued to blame others for her mistakes.
The user, on the other hand, found solace in sharing her story online. Reddit users came together to offer support and encouragement, sharing their own experiences of parental betrayal and the difficulties they faced as a result.
This story serves as a reminder that greed and betrayal have consequences, and that the power of karma should never be underestimated. Though it was a difficult journey for the user, she emerged stronger and more resilient, while her mother faced the harsh reality of her actions.
