10. The Money I Had Sent Was Not Used the Way I Believed

After the first shock passed, I began asking practical questions.
I wanted to know what had happened to the money I had sent over the years.
Daniel said that most of it had been used for the household.
But I knew there were things he wasn’t telling me.
I asked about the farmland.
I asked about the savings.
I asked about the money I had sent specifically for the children’s education.
Grace became defensive.
“Why are you questioning everything now? We have been taking care of the family.”
I looked at her.
“Taking care of the family? I was the one paying for the family.”
I asked to see the documents relating to the property.
Daniel said some papers were kept in a drawer in his room.
I asked for the bank statements and records of the land purchases.
He hesitated.
That hesitation told me more than his words.
I had trusted him to manage the money responsibly.
Now I needed to establish exactly what belonged to me, what belonged to him, and what had happened to the savings I had worked so hard to build.
I decided that I would not make any financial decisions until I had reviewed the documents and received proper legal advice.
