    I understand this so much. I was in a car accident at 17 and received a $300 thousand dollar settlement. I never saw a penny of it, my mom spent it all as I was struggling to learn how to walk again. That kind of betrayal from your own mom is really really difficult to get over

      @@kellymcdonell9687 Yes I'm sure. I found all of the records and my dad's insurance paid for every single bit of my hospital stay and recovery which was almost a million dollars. There were no leftover bills. Plus I saw the bank statements for how she spent the money afterwards. She spent $100,000 in the first 30 days of having that money. She put more money into my stepdad's construction business which is still flourishing today. The list goes on and unfortunately she was never able to apologize or own up to it when I confront her. I love my mom but it's just something I'll never get over

      ​@SK Ontheroad It would take much longer than a comment on a video to educate anyone about Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The only reason I did for myself was for self preservation since I am what is known as a super empath in Psychology; and had a Borderline Personality Disorder as a mother and a Covert Grandios Narcissist as a father. I can reasonably say that I know as much as anyone alive as to the symptoms and traits of these people. They are pure evil and will never change. From the video, I could honestly say that IF her story is absolutely true, then her mother's behavior exhibits classic behaviors of someone who has Narcissistic Personslity Disorder.

      ​@@kathybrigger9431 I agree; forgiving my mother was one of the most challenging things I've ever done. For years, I fantasized, saying ... I remember those things you did to me!
      It felt impossible to forgive her; I was still trying when she died. I was half asleep when she did what she always did to wake me up, poke me in my right side. I was brief, saying, "I hope you're happy now that you're on the other side."
      I didn't want to, but I had to forgive her.
      I realized her mother was cold & distant. Her mother told her, "I have no use for girls." And there were other small clues I recalled her saying that led me to the inescapable conclusion that she had been abused.
      Seeing her life from her perspective was the key to my understanding.
      From my heart & soul, I wish you the very best in dealing with these difficult life lessons. Peace, love, & healing to you & yours.

I found out and my sister didn’t have any remorse. I helped my niece get in touch with her biological dad to tell him what had happened. He gave her 90 days to return the funds or he would press charges. She had to sell her farm and really downsize to get the money back. Still to this day, she doesn’t feel bad at all.

      Family will shock you and break your heart when money, antiques, family heirlooms etc.are involved. The greed they have hidden most of their life comes out like a shapeshifter and changes their personality so much you hardly recognize them anymore.
      This recently happened in my family and it has taken a sad toll on everyone. It seems THINGS are now more important than relationships. 60 years of being close friends and supporters of each other, now gone.
      And all because some of the family members preferred the THINGS that were left and the decisions that they could make. If anyone out there finds themselves In a position to share your parents stuff or figure out what to do with it after they are gone, please find a way to divide it up without losing your siblings.

    That is so horrible. Such a betrayal. To steal from your child is wild, and the entire $100 million too. There was more than enough wealth, and she stole it all...when she didnt have to steal a dime. I'm sure Jewl would have even given her a fair portion or made sure she was extremely comfortable regardless of their tense relationship. The fact that she stole the entire $100 million shows she was beyond cruel, and a true Narcissists.

      I feel like this same thing is going to happen when my mom dies. Multiple family members have accused her over the years of stealing their inheritances. No one paid attention to any of it because she plays innocent so well. Then she stole mine when my grandma died. And now I know for a fact that the rumors over the years were in fact true. She still has the wool pulled over my dad and siblings eyes. I’ve been trying to speak up for years but she’s told them all I’m crazy and I’ve hurt her so bad, so no one will talk to me. I believe that when she passes, they will all find a lot of shady things she’s done. That mother wound especially for woman is do deep, when we find out our mothers where not who we thought they were or who they should have been. I’m almost 45 years old and still struggle to forgive her and move forward sometimes. It comes in waves usually. My heart breaks for any one waking up to having a mother that’s been a covert terrible person. It’s like a punch in the gut and truly flips your whole world upside down.

    I lived with my father and grandparents for 10 years taking care of them. Driving them everywhere they needed to go because none of them could drive. I helped them bathe near the end when they were sick, I did wound care on my fathers feet everyday. I basically took care of their every need. My older sister was out traveling and having fun while I took care of all 3 of them. They all 3 died within months of each other. Near the very end my sister came back around after being absent for years. I was devastated and having a rough time with it when they passed away and my sister and her husband swooped in and took control of everything. They left me with nothing. All their money, which was a considerable amount, 3 homes they owned, their car, everything. She sold the home I lived in with them for the entire time I cared for them leaving me homeless. She even took their 10 year old car that I drove the entire time I took care of them even though her and her husband both had brand new cars. She left me homeless and without a car to drive. I never dreamed she would do all that behind my back. It feels worse when your wronged by family than some nameless thief because you trusted them.

      You mean to say that none of the 3 adults, your father and grandparents, had a will??
      Yet you lived with them and never once urged them to get one at the end of their lives??
      That was your first mistake.
      Your second mistake is not dragging your sister to court!!
      Grow a spine!

      Melanie, the exact same thing happened to me except with a brother. Exact same thing. It’s devastating. I had given my brother so many chances. I was so good to him. I never thought he would do such things to me. I will never speak to him again. He took my entire inheritance + all the things you said.

    I seem to recall reading almost 15 years ago that she called her mother her best friend and they had the perfect relationship.
