She’s Furious That Her Mother Is Trying To Take Away Her Inheritance And Give Even More Money To Her Multimillionaire Brothers Just Because She’s A Girl
This woman’s father sadly died last year. She has two older brothers, and their family owns a restaurant business.
She and her brothers contributed to the restaurant and made many sacrifices. However, because of their culture, she isn’t treated equally to her brothers because she’s a woman.
She wasn’t included as an official restaurant owner, and her brothers earned significantly more than she did.
“I was an idiot and wasted 30 years being a sucker, seeing my brothers become multimillionaires while I was not even offered health insurance,” she said.
Four years ago, she resigned. Her parents wrote their wills, and all of their businesses and properties would be given to her brothers, aside from their $900,000 home, which they’d give to her.
She was content and grateful they wanted her to inherit their house. But after her father passed away, the situation changed.
Her mother is in good health and will probably live for 15 more years. The family home was too massive for her mom to keep up with alone, so she planned to sell it.
Unfortunately, her mother didn’t tell her before making this decision. Her mom confided in her brothers about the idea, though.
After her mother sells the family home, she plans to purchase a small studio apartment for $150,000. Her brother owns the property her mom will be purchasing.

After learning about this plan, she wondered what would happen to her inheritance, so she confronted her mother to hear her thoughts.
She assumed that her mom would sell the family home, live in the studio apartment, and continue living off the money from the sale of the house.
“I figured she would leave the proceeds to me when she passed. (There is no way she’ll burn through $900,000, not anywhere near it because she’ll have basically no bills),” she explained.
Her mother said she planned to give her $100,000 and divide the rest of the money from the home sale among her 9 grandchildren (six of her mom’s grandkids are her brothers’ children, so these children have grown up with millionaire fathers).
“I was not only hurt but livid. Out of a $900,000 house, you only want to give me $100,000??? We had a big argument because she doesn’t see how unfair that is,” she shared.
During the fight, she reminded her mom that this wasn’t what was originally written in her or her father’s wills.
In her view, she’s been a wonderful, grateful, and kind daughter. She worked hard to help the family business. Her ex-husband has regularly told her she’s the “least greedy” person he knows.
