Dear Abby: My son thinks I took his money and hasn’t spoken to me since

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." 🚴‍♂️

You can't turn back time, but you can use what has happened so far to make better decisions about the future. If some wounds run too deep and relationships are beyond repair, then sometimes it's just best to focus on healing yourself rather than trying to mend damaged family ties.
 
🤔 I totally get why the son is upset, but his reaction is completely over the top 🙄. He was already estranged from the family, and now he thinks his sister is "stealing" from him? That's just unfair 😒. The thing is, she did follow through on her mom's original promise to give him a bigger share... I think the real issue here is that he never made good on the emotional side of things 🤷‍♀️.

I do feel bad for his sister, though - being left feeling guilty and isolated is no joke 😔. But in the end, some people are just gonna hurt others, and we gotta prioritize the well-being of those who got taken advantage of 💖. I agree with Abby that forgiving doesn't mean rewarding bad behavior, but maybe finding a way to still care for him without hurting the rest of the family is worth exploring 🤝.
 
Ugh, this is just heartbreaking 🤕. I mean, you'd think after losing their mom, they'd want to come together, but nope... the greed and resentment are still there, festering away like an open wound 🤢. It's crazy how one person's betrayal can affect so many others in a family. And poor sis, she's feeling guilty and isolated just because she was trying to do what was best for everyone else 🙄. I think the lawyer Abby Van Buren is spot on about forgiving from the heart, but not rewarding bad behavior... sometimes you gotta put your foot down and protect the people who get hurt 😒. It's sad that some family dynamics can be so toxic 💔.
 
🤕 Family drama is just so messy! I mean, I get why the son was upset, but come on, he went from zero to crazy in like 2 seconds 🚀. His sis did what she thought was right, and now she's feeling guilty? That's not fair to her at all 😔. I think it's a great idea for her to talk to a lawyer about leaving his share of the inheritance to their grandkids tho 👧🏻. Maybe that way they can move on from this toxic situation 🙅‍♀️ and focus on rebuilding relationships with people who actually care 💕.
