[quote=Anonymous]I feel petty even being upset by this but am frustrated.

My grandfather passed away within the last few years and left his estate mostly to his children. My mom will get an annual payment from it- I am not really sure how it works, and have no idea how much it is.

She told me earlier this summer that she was setting aside the same amount of money she was going to use to pay for one of my brother's college classes this summer and would give it to me after I went away with the family for a weekend (I felt awkward that she put that condition on it, I was going to go with them anyway).

So that weekend came and went and I never heard about the money again (over a month ago). I am also in (grad.) school and the money would be really helpful. I don't know why she would make that statement and then never reference it again. I've never asked for or expected any inheritance money (and I am fully financially independent and have been since college graduation). I got excited and hopeful about that money and now it seems it will never come. I don't know why she would say that if she wasn't going to follow through. And no there hasn't been a fight or anything.

Would you ask her about it?[/quote]
