It’s no secret that family members often argue about how to share a loved one’s belongings.
Family members can become extremely tense and combative as a result of these disputes. Today we are going to share with you the tragic story of a woman who left quite a legacy to her mother, who got herself into this situation.
The woman reflects on her close relationship with her mother and begins her story. She remembers taking on the responsibility of caring for her mother while she was being treated for cancer.
In addition to her parents, she also considered her mother to be her best friend. She wanted to be by her mother’s side during her illness.
Unfortunately, not every member of the family showed the same level of devotion. Her stingy brother and aunts often looked for money to cover their expenses and only appeared when they were in need. One incident stood out: an aunt shamelessly asked her dying mother for help in finding a new home. The condescension was astounding!
The woman eagerly awaited the reading of the will after her mother’s oath.
Family members included her brother, aunts, and a lawyer handling the division of property. In a room that looked like a scene from a moving movie, a woman was sipping tea from a broken mug when the lawyer revealed something shocking. Her brothers and aunts were to split their mother’s life savings of a whopping $5 million. She was surprised to find that she had nothing.
She was so overcome with enthusiasm that tears ran down her cheeks and she smeared mascara on her skirt. Meanwhile, her brother and aunts tried to hide their arrogant looks. “How could my mother do this to me?” she asked herself. In recent months, she began to question whether she had done enough for her mother.
Just when she thought it couldn’t get much worse, a lawyer walked up to her and handed her an envelope. The woman opened it, shaking with excitement, and saw a piece of paper with a simple address scrawled on it.
She didn’t know what was waiting for her there. Maybe her mother asked her to clean out the storage unit. The lawyer was silent, only telling her that he was her mother’s favorite person.
