[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come from the most screwed up family. My grandfather, every time he would get into a fight with anyone, would threaten to cut out their portion of the will. Then they’d make up and pretend it didn’t happen. He passed away and my mom inherited a big chunk. Now she is doing the same thing. At the slightest argument she’ll say something like “don’t expect anything from me when I die.” I would rather not inherit anything than hear about it for the next couple of decades. Does anyone else have family like this and how would you handle it?[/quote] Yes, this is pretty common -- it's just garden variety control. Folks who have a lot of money can use it to (attempt to) control their kids. If they didn't have money, they wouldn't use money for control, but would most certainly engage in a myriad other ways. My mother was constantly screaming "I'll cut you off!!!" Ugh. I finally said "Who cares?" She never did. [/quote]
