47. Life Insurance: Is My Mom Trying To Kill Me?

 " During March, 2020, I was 19. My college in California closed down and I moved back in with my parents until I was able to go back. While living with them again. Tension grew high between me and my mom. And a few months into living there, I discovered I was being charged for a life insurance policy through my credit union and a hefty one too. When I called to cancel slash figure out how I was being charged for something I never signed up for in the first place. They informed me that I had filled out a mail document requesting the most premium $350,000 life insurance policy. knowing I did not sign anything of the sorts. I asked for a copy of the document, I opened the document up to see the $350,000 box checked and the sole beneficiary listed was my mom's name, written clearly in her handwriting. What was even more gut-wrenching is that I immediately recognized the signature she forged. It was one of my earliest first learned cursive signatures. I used to sign drawings I'd make for her and used it on all of my schoolwork. Back in the day, I'll always have to wonder if my mom was going to murder me and collect that life insurance policy. It's greatly affected my ability to trust anyone, and I find myself many days racking my brain trying to understand her motives, although I'll never understand how a mother could do something like this to her daughter."
