A young woman found herself reaching out for advice after her family shunned her mother for stealing her grandmother’s money. The parent even tried accusing the young woman of abusing her grandmother before the parent had to face the consequences of her actions.A Reddit user was left feeling conflicted when she exposed her mother for stealing from her grandmother, causing most of their family members to isolate the woman. Starting from the beginning, the original poster (OP) noted how her now 80-year-old grandmother told her everything that happened in the older woman’s life.However, since she was pretty old now, she struggled with a deteriorating memory. One day, the older woman called OP quite upset and informed the young woman that her daughter (OP’s mother) had been stealing her money through fraudulent checks, and the amount she’d taken over ten months was over 35,000.

The older woman’s fraud department from her bank even contacted her about it. OP’s grandmother also told her that the theft had happened before when she was born. The younger woman was left shocked, and her grandmother suggested calling her ex-husband and telling him.OP revealed that her grandparents had been divorced for 30 years. Sadly, she didn’t know what to do with the information her grandmother gave her, so she sat with it for a few days. Suddenly, she received a text from her mother, who accused her of elder abuse after finding out OP’s grandmother had sent her a 3,000 check in the mail four months before her college graduation, with her stating:

“Something in me snapped when I saw that text. I was furious.”She noted how her mother had also taken 16,000 that her father, who died that same year in 2023, had passed down to her. The parent still hadn’t paid her back the money as she promised. OP reacted by calling her mother out and informing her she knew about the money she stole from her grandmother.She also noted that the parent still owed her the money she received from her late father. Trying to explain her actions away, OP’s mother claimed the money she took from her grandmother was for plane tickets.The parent claimed the funds were supposed to be reimbursed and the rest she’d needed to pay for bills and lawyers. However, a while before, OP’s mother had informed her that she had a photo of her grandmother’s credit card to pay for plane tickets.
