[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't know if you're OP sockpuppeting, or if you're projecting your own issues, but you seem to have your own weird mercenary agenda. There's zero reason for anyone to bring up who paid for whose college 20 years ago among the grandchildren. That's not their business and they shouldn't care or be dragged into it. And if some of the family gets more money than other members, too bad. You're not entitled. Your kids aren't entitled. You think you are, but you're not. And the kids would rather have connections with family than make some "statement" and take a "stand" because your nose is out of joint about the tab you're keeping. Letting go of unfair treatment regarding money within family doesn't mean you have no moral compass or backbone. It means you value people over money. And that's a good lesson to teach your kids.[/quote] I'm not "sockpuppeting". My "weird mercenary agenda" came from seeing someone attacked on an anonymous forum for having a perfectly valid position given the circumstances. It's the parents and the other siblings who value money over people. The OP and her husband demanded nothing. The greedy siblings demanded more than the parent wanted to give and (infinitely) more than the OP's family received. The grandparent obliged. They all think that's fine. She doesn't. Why is it so hard for you (all, unless you're "sockpuppeting" and maybe there's just one of you) to understand that it's her decision to not have crappy people in her life. Yes, she's not "entitled" to the money. But they're also not "entitled" to her happy company despite the way they've treated her/him. [/quote] This is just a one way trip to crazy town. Why ask for help, OP, and then not absorb anything that anyone says? I think most people reading this thread get the idea that you're one step away from hurting some people of just exploding with rage. It's really weird and unhinged. I don't know who this other person is who agrees with you (does she know you?) but that's weird too and it's not helping you at all.[/quote]
