    Backup of the post’s body: Hi Reddit, first time poster so sorry if it’s bad. I grew up with an addict mother, deceased father, and grandmother who wanted me to live a “normal life”. She gave me to a family she met through the church. Needless to say, we did not mesh well. Borderline abusive. But. Their love language was gift giving. Which I learned at a young age, was not my love language. Anyways, 10 years after no contact with this family, the mother reached out to my grandmother asking to give a “large amount of cash” to support me. Of course in a dog eat dog world, money is always a blessing. But something about pitty or bribery money doesn’t quite sit well with me? The mother messaged my grandma saying “I’d rather give it to her now opposed to when we pass” which leads me to assume I’ll be receiving will either way but I just don’t know how to navigate the situation with survival vs morals. Please any input is welcome
