When someone receives an inheritance substantial, it is common for them to decide to help their closest relatives financially. However, this is not always the case. This is the case of an 18-year-old girl who, after receiving an inheritance from her grandparents of 840,000 euros and two houses, has decided not to share it with her mother or stepfather, alleging years of emotional abuse and family exclusion.
The protagonist, a young American, according to the Italian magazine Il Fatto Quotidianoshared her story on the social network Reddit, where she explained that her 38-year-old mother married a 50-year-old man who already had three children. Together, they had two more, forming a new family in which she claims to have never been accepted.

“I have never been treated well at home,” he explained. Over time, the family situation became more complicated. After the stepfather’s arrest, the family was forced to move to a smaller apartment and live barely. “We had money to eat and pay for the basics, but nothing more.”
His family asked him to sell the houses to give them money
The young woman inherited a sum of approximately 840,000 euros and two homes from her grandparents, news that took her mother and stepfather by surprise, who asked her to sell the houses to help them buy a home.
The heiress not only rejected the proposal, but made her position clear, “I will give you money for food, but I will not distribute the inheritance.”
As he explained, it is not about revenge, but rather a firm decision based on years of contempt and unfair treatment by his parents. She believes that they have no right to benefit from something they did not help build and that now is her chance to focus on herself.
He will invest his inheritance in having a better future
Far from spending the money on luxuries, the young woman explained that she plans to use the inheritance to pay for her university studies and start a personal project: a bar that allows cats to enter.
Although her decision has generated a debate about family responsibility in inheritance contexts, she maintains her position. He has assured that he will help his parents only with the basics, but that he does not plan to share what he considers his opportunity to start an independent life.
An idea that received messages of support from users on the social network. “For years you were the goal of your family, now is the time to think only of yourself,” they commented.
