I just... I can't believe it, because my grandmother, *my own grandmother*, is hiding lottery winnings in a hollowed-out book and it’s a *modest* amount, not even life-changing but enough to make a difference, and she’s doing it because she’s terrified my parents will stop giving her her weekly allowance if they find out, which is just... it’s so beyond belief, like are we really this rotten as people, to make an old woman feel like she has to *hide money* from her own kids just to keep getting what she’s already getting, what she *needs* to get by in this godforsaken little town where there’s nothing for her otherwise—and honestly, I’m just so angry, I don’t even know at who, but mostly I think at myself for even knowing and not knowing what to do, because it just feels so… pathetic.
