A Reddit user learned that her parents had been hiding from her for several years the sale of her grandmother's jewelry, which they promised to give to her daughter. The girl was very upset by their deception, and she said that now she could not forgive her mother and father.
As a child, the storyteller loved to visit her grandmother. Together, they often looked at the jewelry from the box. Most of all, the author of the post liked the gold bracelet with red stones.
“I believed that my grandmother was a magic queen and that the bracelet definitely had special power,” she said.
When the heroine was eight years old, her grandmother died. The girl's parents sold the jewelry, but the storyteller convinced them to give her the bracelet. His mother and father considered him inexpensive jewelry and agreed.
A couple of years later, they looked at old family photographs and saw a "magic bracelet" in the photograph of a young grandmother. It turned out that the decoration was very expensive. The parents considered it unsafe to give such a thing to the child and took the bracelet. The storyteller's mother and father promised to give it back when she turned 18, and then pushed back the sentence to 21 years.
A few days ago, the girl celebrated her 21st birthday and wanted to get her bracelet. However, it turned out that his parents sold it almost immediately after they found out its real value. With this money, they went to Disneyland. The author of the post clarified that her mother is a fan of Disney cartoons, so the trip gave her much more pleasure than her daughter. The girl added that the younger brother, who was then three years old, was not taken on the trip.
The heroine of the story admitted that she was not ready to forgive her parents.
“The bracelet was the only memory associated with my grandmother. Now he's gone,”she complained.
In the comments on Reddit, many supported the girl. “Don't say you’ll never forgive them, but you have every right to be upset. Experience the loss of as much time as you need,”said annedroiid.
Users also agreed that the parents did a terrible thing and that she doesn't have to forgive them: “As my therapist says, accept the situation and move on,” added tangled_ivy. At the same time, some users sided with their parents and drew the narrator's attention to the fact that they spent the money received from the sale of the bracelet on entertainment for their daughter.
