After my mom remarried, I sent her 30 thousand dollars every month for living expenses. I even arranged for the daughter of her new husband, Leo Grant, to work as my husband's assistant. One weekend, my mom came to see me wearing a sweater with nine holes in it. At first, I thought she was just being frugal. But when I checked her bank account, there was only 1.5 dollar left. I immediately asked her, "Mom, did someone scam you into buying supplements? Or did you put it into some kind of investment scheme?" She hesitated, refusing to answer. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, so I decided to call Leo's daughter, Sylvia Grant, to ask what was going on. Before I could, my mom grabbed my hand. "Don't call her. It's just… I'm getting old and useless. I can't keep up with all this splitting-everything stuff."
