My Mom Used My Inheritance despite My Protests, So I Decided to Teach Her a Lesson – Am I Justified in My Revenge?

Life throws curveballs, and at 17, I faced one such twist. While rummaging through our attic, I found a letter from my dad, who had passed away ten years ago. It revealed a substantial inheritance meant to secure my future.

My discovery quickly spread, and soon, my mom and stepdad saw the inheritance as a solution to their financial troubles. Despite my protests, Mom, managing my funds as I was a minor, began spending the money.

Desperate to protect my dad’s legacy, I sought help from my paternal grandmother, Lydia. Together, we initiated legal proceedings. The court ruled in our favor, demanding my mom and stepdad return the misused funds.

The victory came at a high cost. My mom’s fury and sense of betrayal led to my estrangement from the family. I moved in with Grandma Lydia, finding comfort in her support, but the silence from my mom and the distance from my siblings weighed heavily on me.

Now, sitting in Grandma’s kitchen, I reflect on my choices. The inheritance was rightfully mine, a gift from my dad, but it came at the expense of family relationships. I’m left questioning if the battle for my inheritance was worth losing my family.
