Parents Withhold Daughter’s College Fund

Sometimes, family members can go beyond their boundaries and do unimaginable things. The worst part is that we rarely get to tell anyone else about family issues because we try to keep the dirty laundry inside.

But for a family member to involve the law to solve a problem only means things have gone out of control, and one or both parties cannot see how wrong they are. 

Parents Withhold Daughter’s College Fund

For the sake of this story, we’ll call the girl Susan. Susan’s great-aunt set up savings accounts for all her female relatives. In her culture, they do not value education for women

Out With Old Culture

Her great-aunt married a British man and moved to America, where she had a wonderful life. She funded the education of as many of her nieces and grandnieces as possible, which sounds incredible.

Most parents feel entitled to their children’s money from a young age. Sometimes, it’s playful, and they laugh over it with their kids when they ask for the money. But there’s nothing funny when the money is an enormous sum deposited for educational purposes.

Missing Funds 

Somehow, Susan’s parents accessed the accounts set up for her and her sister, and guess what they used it for? Her brother’s wedding! That sounds so wrong and is a total disrespect to her great-aunt.

The Lawsuit Susan is currently suing them for the case of the missing funds. But her entire family is against her. They think she’s terrible for “airing private family business in public” and for putting money ahead of family. But family shouldn’t lie or steal from you, should they?
