Three years ago, a grieving woman sought Reddit’s opinion on her decision to withhold a letter from her late husband intended for their daughter. Diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, the husband wrote letters for significant occasions in their daughters’ lives. When their eldest daughter got married, the woman couldn’t part with the letter meant for that day. She justified her decision, feeling the letter kept her husband’s presence alive.

However, during the daughter’s move, she discovered the letter, leading to an emotional confrontation. The daughter accused her mother of selfishness and hiding more. Seeking validation, the woman faced harsh criticism on Reddit, being labeled a thief and selfish. The daughter’s anguish over the discovered letter strained their relationship. The woman grappled with Reddit’s judgment, wondering if her actions were indeed wrong.
