Few things are as emotionally draining as dealing with a parent who behaves more like a child.
This became all too clear to one Redditor as he helped his mother clear out his late grandmother’s house. She eagerly claimed all the so-called “valuables”—coins, furs, silverware—convinced they’d bring her a hefty profit. Meanwhile, she dismissed the “old, ugly” furniture, letting her son take it as an afterthought.
But when she discovered it was worth far more than her prized haul, it set off years of guilt-tripping and resentment that couldn’t be undone.
