Dad Shipped Me and My Three Sisters off to Live with Grandma Because He ‘Wanted a Son’ – Years Later, I Finally Made Him Regret It
My father abandoned me and my three sisters because we weren’t boys. Grandma Louise raised us with love while Mom and Dad vanished, showing up only to flaunt Benjamin, their golden son.
Years later, when a lawyer contacted Grandma about our estranged grandfather’s estate, Dad discovered it and suddenly wanted us back — not for love, but for money.
We were forced into a house that wasn’t ours, treated like servants to Benjamin. Three weeks in, I ran away to Grandpa Henry, who had always cared.
He hired a family lawyer, and after months in court, custody went to Grandma. Henry rewrote his will, leaving everything to us — nothing for Mom, Dad, or Benjamin.
We were finally home. In his last years, Henry made up for lost time, teaching us, laughing with us, loving us.
I realized then: the family that abandoned us could never break us.
