My mother. \u201dShe wanted the money to study in her dream college, but her mother had other things in mind. She expected OP (Original Poster) to pay back whatever money she had spent on her through the years. Thus, when OP asked her mother to transfer the inheritance money to her account, she refused. She said the money belonged to her because of all she had done for her daughter. At first, her mother was confused, but she started yelling when OP revealed the total. OP confessed that her mother had always stolen money from her room. She had broken her safe and would cash in the funds OP would win by participating in different sports competitions. Feeling helpless, OP waited a few days before talking to her mother again. Meanwhile, she calculated how much money her mother owed her.

\u201dAfter adding all the money, OP realized her mother had stolen almost 125,000 from her in the past. She owed OP 250,000, including the money OP inherited from her grandfather.

She explained: \u201cShe started yelling that all of that was hers, since she had spent more than that on my medical bills. \u201dThe girl remained patient and asked her mother why she wasn\u2019t doing this with her siblings.

Before talking to her mother, OP had copied everything into a file on her computer because she knew how her mother would react. She recalled: \u201cWhen she took my notebook and papers to destroy, I just added on what the notebook, folder, and papers had cost to the total. \u201dThe following day, OP sent an email to her mother, asking her to pay or she would take the legal route.
