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

How do people remember all the house upkeep stuff?

I’ve been in my house for two years and I feel like I’m constantly behind on things I’m supposed to be doing. HVAC filters… is it monthly, every three months, or whenever you happen to think about it in the shower? Gutter cleaning. It's supposed to be twice a year but I only remember when the rain starts pouring over the sides. 😵😡 Water heater flush. Apparently that’s a real thing and not just a scam. Smoke detector batterie got a nice 3am alarm last month to remind me. 🙂 And last week I paid $300 to fix my dryer because no one told me you’re supposed to clean the lint from inside the vent once a year, not just the little filter in front. I’ve tried setting phone reminders but they get buried under work stuff. My old man always just knew when things needed doing. I’m starting to think there’s a whole maintenance instinct I somehow skipped. #HomeOwnership #DIY #LifeAdvice #HousekeepingHacks #Adulting #HelpNeeded #HouseHack

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
