Am I in the wrong for helping my grandmother with her finances? I’ve been handling my homebound grandma’s bills and errands for nearly a year, using my own money initially and reimbursing myself from her account, with her permission. I always sent her updates, and she checked them against her bank statements. However, after getting pregnant and helping her move to a new apartment, I got behind on the updates.
Recently, she told me she wants someone else to manage her finances, and I heard her drunk neighbor accusing me of taking advantage of her. I was furious because I’ve been completely honest. I turned over all her financials and gave her back her card. Now she’s accusing me of making unauthorized transactions. I’m concerned this might lead to an investigation. I’ve kept records, but I’m pregnant and don’t need this stress. I even found that I’ve actually spent more out of pocket than I’ve reimbursed myself.
Now she’s telling people I stole from her. What should I do?
