Dad Never Wanted Daughters
My dad never wanted girls. After four daughters—me, Hannah, then Rachel, Lily, and Ava—he grew bitter. Instead of caring for us, he dropped each of us at Grandma Louise’s house, saying we “didn’t count.” Mom didn’t fight back; she seemed too broken to care. We grew up surrounded by Grandma’s love, but without our parents.
The Forgotten Sisters
When I was nine, I discovered they had a son, Benjamin. Dad lit up with joy for him—the son he always wanted. From that moment, we were forgotten. Our place didn’t matter anymore.
The Inheritance Changes Everything
Years later, at 17, a lawyer contacted us about Grandpa Henry’s fortune. Grandpa was dying. Hearing about the inheritance, Dad suddenly wanted us back. They took us home, pretending it was to reconnect. But their real goal was clear—they wanted the money.
Benjamin treated us like servants. Dad barked orders constantly. The house felt cold and unwelcoming.
Finding Help and Justice
I finally escaped to Henry, Grandpa, who welcomed me with tears. He immediately called Grandma and promised to fix the years of neglect. With the help of Henry’s lawyer niece, we proved Dad had abandoned us.
The court awarded custody to Grandma. Grandpa left everything to us girls. Dad, Mom, and Benjamin got nothing.
A Bitter End and New Beginnings
Dad raged and then disappeared. Grandpa spent his last years showering us with the love we missed. Before he passed, he whispered, “I’m glad I did something right in the end.”
