[quote=Anonymous]My mother lost close to 200k to a scammer, and then even though I took over things, I made some mistakes when I downsized her, leaving the estate clean out to a company that did not properly research/sell some of the art objects (later, I discovered some asian pieces they sold for 250$ resold at auction for 10k....). It still eats at me, though my greatest regret now is selling so many things from my grandparents, but i have to remind myself that its just money, its water under the bridge, and I did the best I could at the time, navigating my mother's health/dementia crisis from across the country, while also I had started anew job and had my own teen in crisis.

Hopefully the loss of 200k and my family heirlooms will make you feel better!

But seriously, I think that I need to forgive myself, I did the best I could, and I need to forgive my mom--she didn't understand what was happening. People make mistakes, and yours was a minor one, so chin up. Plus, I think about the folks who scored bargains at the estate sale--if you donate these items someone will be very happy! (I do not have such feelings toward the scammer of course). [/quote]
