[quote=Anonymous]My divorced mom remarried in my late twenties.  Her husband was much more financially stable than she was when they married (my mom insisted on staying in our childhood home, which she could not afford, so she spent all her money on mortgage and home ownership costs).

My stepdad was a good man but he had a pretty fraught relationship to his two sons.  He was gone a lot during their childhood, they had to move constantly for his work and he married my mom less than a year after their mother died from cancer.

He left all his assets to my mom, including sentimental things.  My mom is now insisting that my stepbrothers don’t deserve any of the sentimental stuff or that they can just wait until after she dies because they 1) don’t call or visit her and 2) she has “more memories” of their dad using these items because she actually lived with him for 5 straight years, which they never really did, due to all his work travel.

I am just the bystander but even hearing only my mom’s self-interested version, she sounds incredibly cruel and selfish.  That said, she is still grieving her husband.  I don’t know whether to even try to be honest with her about how much I disagree with her approach.[/quote]
