My Grandma Threatened To Disown Me & Mom If We Don't Share My Lottery Winning With My Cousins.

[@Raggmopp-xl7yf]

Their biggest mistake was telling grandma about winning the lottery. Second mistake was not getting new phones and cutting all contact with these toxic people.

[@LadyWolvie82]

They would have found out on their own, as some newspapers tend to publish who won the lottery.

[@pianolady10]

They should have just “disappeared “ and gone no contact. Never tell people when you get money.

I agree. The only thing is when you win the lottery they put you on tv. But there are ways around that I believe.

I’ve already told my mom that if I ever win the lotto, I’ll buy her a new car (like a Ford Escape or something) and that will be the only way she’d know because I will never say it outright

Their mistake was telling them about them winning the lotery

[@savannahhague4989]

I’d put most of that money in a secret account, use a small part of it to invest in a good set of business stocks, and then slowly back away from these people so they’d have more than enough time to think about what harm they caused.

[@tonyblake7569]

It sounds fake to me. I can believe all the bad stuff, but winning the lottery and the lawsuit sounds like what op wishes would happen. And obviously they'd have to know op won it so they can regret how they treated them.

[@robingibson6561]

that's true, but in the end when Grandma sued everyone found out that OP's Mom owned half the house. So in this instance it worked out in OP's favor.

OP has a great friend in Cassy. She gave her good advice twice.

Why her mother did not get away from that toxic atmosphere is crazy. They lived in a garage and payed rent. They could have afforded to get a room somewhere else for the same or less money. Should have gone and went NC when dad died.

The part about the OP's mother becoming part owner of the house because there was no will when the grandfather died is also true in my state. One of my uncles died without leaving a will. That meant that the estate was divided according to state law, with the children getting part, and my aunt, the widow, getting part. It worked out fine because they were all reasonable and got along well.

But he wouldn't let me even put a mattress in the house. Had to sleep in front of the front door. Then lived outside and in the cab of my truck. I left one day. Never talked to him again.

First rule of a major lottery win (if allowed by the company as for some, publicity is a requirement) is tell no one, except your bank and a trustworthy accountant. Maye a spouse if they can be trusted. Then take time in deciding what to do with it and set a 50% aside in a decent financial account, to earn interest etc and as a backup. People around you including loved ones can change and not for the better.

Her description of winning the lottery was so bogus. Her friend had not checked her winning ticket yet, but somehow knew later she had won?

Anyway ...all my cousins are felons who have multiple kids by multiple people, my aunt is dying from a disease that harms the immune system due to her drug addiction and lack of having her own mind, and i graduated college with a degree, working in a nice position in a court house (degrees in criminal justice), own place and extremely blessed.

My own mother did the same thing to me.. she treated my children in a horrific manner. She got my brother to see me the way she does. I have not had a relationship with him in over 20 years it took me years later to find out about narcissism, and wonderful friend to explain that sometimes part of Alzheimer’s or dementia it will wrap into that. I truly believe that she had some huge underlining issues that made her this way… although I was never a teenage mom I was married, but had lost my home my husband too much younger women and had to go across United States to return home to start over.. never in 1 million years what I thought the horrific verbal abuse would’ve spread over to my children from my own mother, nor her behavior. As I am now happily married, and I guess live like that, maybe she thought I should’ve married into the first time, my husband is amazing. I’m 54, I own three horses and just learned how to barrel race that’s how I spend my days I live an amazing life ..Just know OP that you’re not alone. If anything, just know that she has taught to you the most amazing less than that you will ever learn in your whole life. The kind of woman that you never want to be. And also, she also teaches you the true meaning of love and forgiveness, and empathy for others, and what it really means. If OP ever sees this, Good luck to you and your amazing new life
