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

My Parents Gamble My Dreams Away... Literally 😡🎰

Every time I clock out of my retail job, I pray my paycheck will finally go toward my college fund. But nope—my parents are always "broke" and need it for "groceries." Next thing I know, they're off to the casino or blowing cash on useless stuff online. The final straw? My mom took seven months of my hard-earned savings—said it was for a sick relative. Turns out, it was just another lie, another spin of the roulette wheel. Now, even with a scholarship, I had to drop out because they gambled away the rest. I try to save, but they guilt-trip me or demand every cent. I feel trapped, furious, and honestly, hopeless. How do I break free from this cycle without ending up on the street? Any advice would mean the world. 😩💔 #FamilyFinance #GamblingProblems #FinancialAbuse #CollegeStruggles #RomanticRelationships
