My trans daughter wants my grandmother’s ring, but I’m worried she’s going to take it to Mordor and throw it in the fires of Mount Doom. AITA?
I (M111) have a daughter (MtF50) who by all accounts is entitled to this ring, but the ring has corrupted me by playing on my desire, greed and ambition while slowly wearing down my willpower. The ring has also increased my paranoia and sense of isolation. So now I’m worried my trans daughter is going to destroy the ring in the great fires of Mount Doom.
My mother (FDead) hated gays. Do not call her a homophobe, she was an amazing mother. Anyway, her will had a “Miss me with that gay shit” clause, so I actually don’t even have to give my trans daughter the ring.
My trans daughter has made several overtures about traveling to Mordor to destroy the ring. She keeps saying things like “You know that ring is the source of Sauron’s power, right?” and “It’s crazy how that ring can only be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom wherefrom it was wrought” and “I hear Mordor has many cute cafes, maybe I’ll stop in one when I’m there destroying the one ring.”
I asked my brother what I should do and he said I should give him the precious ring because he wants it and needs it and must haves it. So that was obviously no help.
Everyone in the shire is blowing up my phone and I’m not sure what to do.
