Jenna, 19, grew up believing her mom abandoned her at birth. She was raised by her grandmother, who always told her that her mom didn’t want her. Her father was mostly absent, busy with his other family. When Jenna’s grandmother passed away, she left Jenna her house and savings. Soon after, Jenna’s stepsiblings flooded her phone with angry messages, demanding she split the inheritance.
One day, Jenna’s father came over. Instead of asking for money, he confessed that her mom didn’t leave because she didn’t want Jenna. According to him, her grandmother pressured her mom into stepping away, saying she couldn’t raise a baby alone and that it would ruin her future. Now, her dad and his family claim Grandma was manipulative and insist Jenna should “make things right” by sharing everything.
This revelation devastated Jenna. She felt betrayed, unsure who to trust. If her mom didn’t want to leave, why hadn’t she tried to contact her all these years? Why was her dad telling her this now, right after Grandma’s death? Jenna questioned whether he was being truthful or just manipulating her to gain control of the inheritance.
Despite the confusion, Jenna has every right to keep what her grandmother left her. The will clearly showed Grandma’s wishes, and her stepsiblings’ feelings of entitlement don’t change that. Jenna must protect her future, be cautious about who she trusts, and take her time before making any decisions about her family and the legacy left behind.
