JUST A FOLLOW-UP FOR THOSE READING THIS:
It seems that my problem (and it could also be yours) is PRIVILEGE RGHTS. When I first mounted my Veracrypt Directory, I was logged in as ROOT so the owner and group for the directory was ROOT. So I deleted the 1st directory I made and this time I created a new one while logged in as USER.
I am able to access my Veracrypt directory now but I'm not closing this just yet till I'm sure (after a week) that it wont go bonkers on me again.
To be clear, so far the solution for this was simply PRIVILEGE RIGHTS. SSH to your Raspberry Pi and check who is the owner of the directory Veracrypt will me using and which group it belongs to.
I do hope this helps someone.
