[quote=Anonymous]I was raised by a single mom. She got married when I was in my late twenties and already married. My relationship with her husband was cordial but not close. However, our two teenage DCs spent a lot of time with my mom and her husband (they live a few states away).  Her  husband recently passed away. He had two adult children about my age, no grandchildren. I met one of them once and never met the other. He divorced their mother when the younger one finished high school. I never knew the story of the divorce, only heard snippets from my mom (who always acknowledged she only knew one side of the story) - that he was the sole provider pretty much the whole time, that his wife did not treat him well, that he stayed for the sake of the kids but that when he finally left the kids took their mother's side and basically wanted nothing to do with him after the divorce. All I can say is that for over 20 years he and my mom were together they were happy and he treated her very well.

Anyway, I have just found out that he left half his money to my mom and half of it in trust to my kids (high six figures each). We are not poor, but this would certainly give my kids a better start in life and more choices. I have been getting lots of angry calls and emails from his kids. I kind of get their point of view but I want to get them to get lost. Should I?[/quote]
