My name is Ryan, and I am 19 years old. I have encountered events that sound like the plot of a convoluted film, where karma is in full swing. If you are reading this, thank you for sharing my experiences with me.
My mother, Melissa, left me an inheritance of £25,000 to use for my education or something important in the future. But when I finally came of age, I found out that this inheritance had been stolen.
She died when I was 9, and during my grief, my father met Tracy. I hoped she would make him happy, but soon realised that this was only the beginning of a nightmare.
At first, Tracy seemed kind to me. She was supportive, cooked treats, and tried to gain my trust, but soon everything changed. She started throwing away my mother’s things and demanding that my father ‘move on.’ Then her son Connor came into our lives and acted like he owned the place.
After my father passed away, Tracy became my guardian, but she clearly did not care about me. I was pushed into a corner; I wore worn-out clothes, was often left out of dinner, and the humanity that once existed in our family vanished.
Every day was a struggle for me until I turned 18, when I thought I would receive my inheritance. On my birthday, Tracy threw a fake party, but there was no mention of the money. I decided to ask about the trust fund, but her answer shocked me: ‘The money is gone.’
Her words shocked me. I learned that she had spent the money to cover household expenses and, it seemed, for Connor’s needs, who was showing off his new car. I didn’t know what to do; anger filled me. I decided to contact my mother’s solicitor, and imagine my surprise when he informed me that the money had been withdrawn legally, but without my knowledge.
I found a job so that I could start earning my own money and not depend on Tracy. Soon it became known that Connor had been in an accident in the very car that the money had been spent on and was seriously injured.
Although there was a chance for retribution, many suffered: Tracy was threatened with a lawsuit and would ultimately have to pay for her wrongdoing. In court, it was revealed that she had misused the money and now had to cover all the medical expenses of those injured in the accident, as well as return my £25,000.
Key takeaway: No amount of money can bring happiness when your conscience is not clear. In the end, Tracy left the house, and I stayed to work on my future, while her evil deeds served as a karmic lesson for her.
