[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel for you and your father, OP. The problem is that your father may consider it money well spent if your cousin gives him a little attention in his old age. Does it make your father happy? I know it's hard to watch. My grandmother gave all her money away to sycophantic money-grabbers when her 7 children were practically starving and would have appreciated her help. Then said grandmother had to rely on her children years later when the money ran out and her supposed friends ditched her. Well, we kept her in style. That's forgiveness for you. [/quote] YES. You understand. Thank you for putting words to what I wasn't expressing well. It does make him very happy. That is why I cannot say anything. If I confront my cousin and the share with the rest of the family what is going on, the feuding and the rejection would break his heart. If he ended up in the hospital after that I would never forgive myself. If they were bankrupting him or something then of course I'd have to stop this, but because he was so frugal and made a good living he has saved well for retirement. So while I can't do anything about this, I can at least blow off steam and vent here! I don't understand how they justify this, but at least they bring him joy.[/quote]
