Mother spent all inheritance intended to me
My grandmother left my mother around €30k inheritance money. The agreement in the family was that the money would eventually be split equally between my mother’s two daughters, but my mother would hold onto it and give it “when needed.”
My older sister got half almost immediately because she needed money for college. That part made sense to everyone.
But over the years, my mother kept giving my sister more and more money from what was supposed to be my half too. Not small amounts either. On top of that, she slowly spent the rest on daily living, random spending...
She withdrew money month after month for years.
The worst part is that she let me believe my share still existed. I only found out the truth when I mentioned wanting to buy an apartment and said I would finally use my part of the inheritance. That’s when she admitted there was basically nothing left.
She is my mother, I understand she was naive and she is really sorry now, but it is hard for me to forget.
