Escaping My Mother's Afterlife

Summary

Driven to suicide by her, I thought my death would finally bring her remorse.

Instead, I watched her pay a fortune to an occult medium:

"Medium, exactly how many Spirit Dollars do I need to burn every day to stop her from overspending down there?"

"Is there a way to make her 'check in' every day, just like when she was alive? If she behaves, I'll burn more money."

In that moment, I actually felt a wave of relief—

Thank God I was dead. I was finally free from her control.

But the medium's chilling voice instantly shattered my illusion:

"Yes.

"There actually is a way."
