Mother gets deceived by late husband and is left out of his will, daughter tries to get her into therapy but her aunt tells her she doesn't need it: 'She told me to mind my own business'

There comes a moment in everyone's life when someone we thought we knew well shows us their true colors. Someone convinces us they're one person and they turn out to be someone else. Someone we think is earnestly befriending us just wants to use us as a means to an end. Someone promises us something that they never keep.  We count on a person because they told us we could, and then, in a moment of need, they let us down. When this happens, it can be an utter betrayal of trust. It can also feel completely embarrassing. How did we let someone fool us in this way? How did we not see it before? How can we prevent it from happening again?

Sometimes, these people don't reveal their ulterior motives until they're already beyond the grave. One woman watched her mother go through that when her late husband promised to leave her in the will but didn't give her a cent after he passed. This woman asked Reddit for advice on what to do. The situation is really complicated, so read her story carefully to get the full picture and think about what you might do if you had these circumstances.
