One young woman found herself struggling with a dilemma after she realized her mom had lied to her and her brother about the spending of their inheritance from their grandparents. After they passed several years ago, her mom claimed that certain bills would need to be paid before they could have access to their money.
However, the daughter eventually found out that her grandparents had left them a lot more money than her mom had told them, and it was admitted that much of it had been spent on family and taking trips. She felt betrayed and like she couldn't forgive her, but the rest of her family wanted her to get over it.

My mom took the money my grandparents left for me, and I can’t forgive her.

19-year-old refuses to forgive mom after she secretly spends inheritance from her grandparents: 'It's not just about the money. She's lied for years'
One of the most important parts of being a parent is taking responsibility for setting your kids up to have the best and most secure future that they possibly can. A part of this is making sure that they are stable financially. This does not necessarily mean giving them money all the time, but it does entail modelling good financial sense and keeping things they are owed, like inheritance, safe while they are not old enough to claim it.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of parents in this world who act like the worst enemies of their children when it comes to anything related to money. They let greed or desperation get the better of them and spend any cash that should be put aside for their kids. It is no surprise that this can breed feelings of resentment and betrayal when a child realizes what has happened. It can ruin a cordial relationship.
