Tonight was supposed to be just a cozy eveningβme, my adopted daughter, pizza, and her math homework at our tiny kitchen table. Out of nowhere, she slams her notebook down and hits me with the wildest accusation: "Did you take money from my savings to pay your bills?" My jaw hit the floor. Iβve always tried to be upfront about our finances, but her glare cut right through me. I scrambled to pull up every bank statement, but she just crossed her arms and stared like I was some kind of thief. How did we get here? Am I being too controlling about money, or is she just scared Iβll mess up? Iβm so lost. How do you rebuild trust when money gets between you and someone you love? Seriously, what would you do if you were in my shoes? π€ππ€·ββοΈ #FamilyFinance #TrustIssues #ParentingStruggles #RomanticRelationships
