This 18-year-old inherited a house but their mom is stealing their money

I just saw a post from an 18-year-old who inherited their dad's house and all his possessions. My heart just sank reading it. The parents divorced a long time ago which meant the mom had no legal claim to any of the inheritance. For some reason the mom has acted like she owns everything. This kid is trying to figure out how to be an adult but their own mother is making it impossible. The mom has access to all of their money and is using it to pay off her own credit cards. The post said she has spent almost thirteen thousand dollars of the kid's inheritance just on herself. She also refuses to teach them anything about how to manage the house or pay bills. She even threatens to leave them if they try to gain any independence. This young person is absolutely terrified their mother is going to somehow take claim over their house and car. They need real professional advice on how to get out of this situation safely. This is completely unacceptable. I am hoping there are some legal experts or people who have been through this who can offer serious guidance. #Inheritance #FinancialAbuse #FamilyProblems #LegalAdvice #HelpNeeded #Adulting #RedFlags #FamilyRelationships #Family

Corporate life just makes me so ugly and bleh inside

38, female, just had a startling realization about corporate life. After taking a year off work – a year spent truly living after completing some successful projects at a very well-known company – I'm now about a year back into a new corporate job, and the difference in how I look is jarring. Today, Google Photos showed me 'this time last year' – a pic of me at a farmers market, absolutely glowing. Clear skin, big smile, a twinkle in my eyes. Then I looked in the mirror: dull skin, drained eyes, a smile so forced I almost laughed. The contrast is heartbreaking. I hate knowing what it feels like to truly live, to feel vibrant. Corporate life just seriously sucks your soul away. I feel so incredibly bleh, and I detest it. But bills don't pay themselves. I can't just quit again, and it's a total bummer. I just wish life didn't have to be this constant trade-off. That's all, just a tired rant. #CorporateLife #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealth #Adulting #MillennialStruggles #SoulSuckingJob #SelfCare #CorporateLife #WorkingHard

Is This Really the Rest of My Life? 😅

Some days, sitting at my desk in this endless sea of cubicles, I wonder if this is it. I’ve only been at this job for a year, but the thought of doing this routine for decades makes my head spin. It’s not that my job is terrible—my coworkers are fine, the work is manageable—but the monotony is suffocating. When I finally get home, I’m supposed to squeeze in cooking, cleaning, and somehow stay healthy? By the time I blink, it’s Sunday night and I feel like I barely existed outside of work. The weekends vanish faster than my motivation on Monday mornings. Is this what adulthood is supposed to feel like—a never-ending loop? Honestly, I’m reaching out because I’m stuck. How do you deal with this feeling? Do you just accept it, fight it, or is there some secret I’m missing? I’d love to hear how others cope, because right now, it feels like I’m drowning in the daily grind. 😩 #WorkLifeStruggles #CareerQuestions #Adulting #JobCareer
