Dad Shipped Me and My Three Sisters off to Live with Grandma Because He ‘Wanted a Son’ – Years Later, I Finally Made Him Regret It

At 19, I still remember the moment I realized my father didn’t love me or my sisters—simply because we weren’t boys. He abandoned us one by one at Grandma Louise’s house, treating us like unwanted burdens. While our brother, Benjamin, was spoiled with love and luxury, we grew up with only Grandma’s kindness and the occasional empty birthday card from our parents.

Everything changed when a lawyer arrived, asking about our estranged grandfather, Henry. Unbeknownst to us, Henry had built a fortune and was dying—leaving everything to his grandchildren. When Dad discovered this, he suddenly “reunited” with us, moving us back into his home. But it wasn’t love—it was greed. We became unpaid servants, while Benjamin mocked us as “useless girls.”

I couldn’t take it anymore. At 17, I ran to Henry, the grandfather I’d never met. To my surprise, he welcomed me with open arms. Though he’d left Grandma years ago, he still cared about us through the photos she sent him. Heartbroken by our suffering, he vowed to fight for us.

With his lawyer niece’s help, we took our parents to court. The judge granted Grandma full custody, stripping Dad of any control over us—or Henry’s money. In the end, Henry rewrote his will, leaving everything to my sisters and me, cutting out Dad completely.

Those last two years with Henry were a gift. He taught us skills, shared stories, and finally gave us the love we’d been denied. When he passed, he held my hand and whispered, *”I should’ve come back sooner.”*

But in the end, he did right by us—and that’s all that matters.
