After Cara’s mother passed away, her sister claimed that Cara didn’t deserve an equal share of the family home, arguing that she hadn’t been as devoted. The situation intensified when Cara visited the house, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about her next steps. In search of guidance, she turned to an online community for advice.

 

My sister, who is 38 and single, cared for our sick mother for 12 years while I was busy raising my four kids. Now that Mom has… passed, I want to sell the family home and split the proceeds 50/50. However, my sister insists, “You don’t deserve a penny! You weren’t a devoted daughter!”

I tried to ignore her, but when I arrived at the house, I found the locks had been changed. I could see a shadow through the window, but I froze when I realized the house was nearly empty.

I forced my way inside and was shocked to find my sister packing the last of her belongings. “What are you doing?” I asked. She simply smiled and replied, “Oh, didn’t I tell you? I sold the house.”
