A 67-year-old parent and grandmother is caught in the middle of a family conflict between her daughter and grandson, and must navigate the difficult decisions that come with it while also taking care of her own health.
A Mother and Grandmother
The woman is a 67-year-old parent to their 39-year-old daughter and the grandmother to their 19-year-old grandson, who is still in high school due to epilepsy.
Family Conflicts
The woman loves them both equally, but recently they’ve been having conflicts with each other.
She Spent Thousands!
According to the woman’s grandson, their daughter spent thousands from a savings account that was basically inheritance on his father’s side. The grandson made a joint account with his uncle, but he gave the card to his parents when they asked because he felt intimidated to because of prior bad history with his father especially.
Shocking Motherly Behaviour
The daughter then spent the majority of this money when the grandson was told it was for safekeeping.
What Does She Mean?
The daughter hasn’t denied any of this but has said the grandson isn’t innocent either. She’s yet to explain what she means by that. Because they both feel the need to hide it from the son-in-law, they argue at the woman’s place, and the woman lets them.
Secrets!
However, they haven’t been telling them it’s been triggering their epilepsy the nights after it gets a tad loud. The woman has been agreeing with their grandson a lot more than their daughter with the way he tells things, but they’ve been avoiding having them over recently to take care of their own health.
Sleepover Time
Last week, the woman’s daughter came by and asked if she could stay with them because their son-in-law had given them the boot after the grandson exposed everything to him.
She Could Be Reported
The woman agreed hesitantly because their subsidy program is strict about them having others staying over, and their neighbor, while a friend, is still a busybody who could report this to their program.
Awkward Situation
Later that night, the grandson called on the building dialer and asked if he could stay with the woman. It was such an awkward situation. If they let him in, their neighbor would surely call their subsidy program if they had two people over, and he and their daughter would surely argue and trigger their epilepsy again.
He Was MAD!
The woman had agreed with him this whole way through, but they had to turn him away. He stayed outside the next half-hour cursing them and their daughter out before leaving.
Were They Right?
As the days go by, the woman begins to wonder if they made the right decision. They’re concerned about their grandson’s well-being and wonder where he’s staying and if he’s okay. They also feel guilty for turning him away and wonder if they should have done things differently.
The Internet Responded
This person wrote, “So your daughter committed fraud and theft my taking the money that she held on Trust for her son, and you reward her with free housing?”

Another commenter said, “This and is anyone else really bothered that the OP just accepts that his daughter “intimidated” her child into giving her access to his funds? You should be encouraging your grandson to report his thieving mother to the police.”
