Hi,
I have a Grandmother who is being financially abused by my maternal aunty and uncle.
They treat her like a walking ATM and borrowed thousands of dollars from her amounting to 90k until she has only 1.5k left in her bank! The elders have known about this wrongdoing but have chose to remain quiet as they are scared of my uncle. My grandma confided in all of the elders but none dared to speak up for her and confront my aunty and uncle.
They waited and shared gossip about my aunty and uncle’s elder mistreatment and financial abuse of my grandma to the young generation of the family. I became so angry because they even tried to ask my parents to ask me to lend them 9k after knowing my income. They wanted to borrow 9k from me to fund or sponsor their son’s wedding. I refused to lend them and after 1 year in 2024, my uncle still be sarcastic and said to my dad “woah she can spend on her cats but can’t even lend her own uncle 9k”. After I refused, they borrowed 4k from my grandma and then they paid after they get back the angpao wedding money. But my grandma said weeks later, my uncle came down to her house to ask for her card and she check weeks later that her 4k is no longer there.
They even went down to my parents house and remanded my mother to surrender her gold jewelry to which my mom said she does not have any.
