[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they sound like somewhat bitter financial people. they  value money too much kind of thing.

I'm confused the way you describe your trust fund. you make it sound like it's a pool of money that you, your brother, and this other relative can "access" (if you want to?).  Is it yours or not? Do you control it? How do these things work?[/quote]

Apologies. There are trustees who determine what we can take out funds for based on some stipulations. Like college for future kids, down payment on a house, medical bills, etc. [/quote]

got it. you don't need to apologize, I'm the one who's unfamiliar. do you ever get full control? like, hypothetically speaking, is there a point where you could blow it all in a weekend in Vegas if you were so inclined?[/quote]

Ha, nope. Never. He was too smart to let us blow all this money that way.

The more I think about it the more emotional I feel about it. My real dad hasn’t been in the picture since I was a child and my mom passed a few years ago. My stepdad was a man of few words but it’s clear that everything he worked for was for my brother and me. I wish I had brought him in closer when I was a newly wed. He must have been lonely. This is what’s making my ILs comments sting more, I suppose. [/quote]
