My Mother Replaced Me with My Stepsister in Family Photos, But Grandmother's Will Had the Last Word
My mother systematically erased me from our family photos, replacing me with my perfect stepsister while I was away at college. "It's just for the holiday cards," she claimed with a dismissive wave. Two years later at my grandmother's funeral, the family portrait displayed beside her casket showed my stepsister wearing my dress, standing in my place. When Grandmother's will was read the following week, everyone discovered she'd left her estate to her "true granddaughter" - and the look on my mother's face when the lawyer clarified it wasn't my stepsister was worth every manipulated photograph.
