Taking care of Mom was tough enough without the added stress of tension with my sister, Jane. Items started disappearing, and I was sure Jane was to blame. But when the truth came out, it left me questioning everything I believed about my family.
Jane had always been reckless, but she was the golden child, forgiven for all her mistakes. She only visited Mom when it suited her, while I was left dealing with Mom’s illness and managing everything at home.
I hired a caregiver, but I couldn’t afford full-time help, so I took on the responsibility myself. Jane always claimed to be too busy to help, even though I knew she hadn’t been working.
One day, Mom called me in panic, saying her gold earrings were missing. As I stepped closer, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Jane was somehow involved.
