My Son Called Dad's Coins "Worthless". Karma Made His Bank Account Match.

A 73-year-old mother, betrayed by her son—and the silence she chose.
After the sudden death of her husband David, Carol Donovan found herself drowning in grief within the home they had shared for 47 years. But before she could even begin to mourn, her son Ben and his wife Megan arrived—not with comfort, but with plans to sell her house "for her own good."
Powerless to resist, Carol watched as Ben dismissed his late father's coin collection—painstakingly assembled over four decades—as "heavy junk metal." He sold it to a scrap dealer for a mere $3,000. The $450,000 from the house sale? Ben took it all to "invest," leaving his mother with just $10,000 and a cramped studio apartment.
But Carol knew something. Something her son had no idea about. And she chose to say nothing—to simply watch and wait.
