My kind grandparents suddenly stopped visiting us.
When I asked my parents why, they just said, “It’s better this way!” I went to my grandparents’ house, but they wouldn’t open the door. A month later, the police came, and I was terrified when they arrested my mom.
It turned out my mom had opened credit cards in my grandmother’s name and built up a huge debt. My grandparents begged her for months to stop, but she refused to pay it back. They finally had to cut her off and involve the police.
I knew my mom had trouble with spending, but this was too much. What really broke my heart was that my grandmother didn’t want to talk to me anymore.
