Family relationships never cease to amaze us with their pettiness, their drama, and the intricacies of madness that go along with each and every one of us. We all have a different relationship to our parents, siblings, and family members. To me, I always felt like the families that seem the most normal and perfect on the outside tend to hide more on the inside, and have toxic secrets waiting below them. If there's one thing that separates family members from each other, it's money. Money makes the world go round, but it also sunders relationships without even trying.

In the story below, the protagonist is a woman whose grandmother is giving her all of her inheritance. She has some old beef with her daughter, so to spite her she's skipping giving her inheritance to her daughter, and chooses to give it to her granddaughter instead. There's a lot of drama going on in the story below, so buckle up, and read everything for all the juicy details.

AITA for not wanting to give my mom 90% of the inheritance my grandma is leaving me?

$My mom says she'll give me 10,000 of it but honestly I want closer to 40,000. I have a fraction of what she wants to give me in savings and more would be life changing, I could even consider getting a house in the next couple years rather than wait till I'm 50. The thing is, this money will go directly$
