Rosalind arrived expecting to defend Bethany, certain that I had unfairly punished my own daughter by refusing to keep giving her money. She barely looked at the folder I placed on the table before lecturing me about family obligations and reminding me that, at my age, money was something I could not take with me.

The total came to $52,800, all because Bethany had repeatedly claimed that she and Trevor were facing foreclosure. I asked Rosalind whether Bethany had told her where the money came from, including the money that had paid for Rosalind\u2019s trip to Fiji.
