[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that oftentimes the child has an unpleasant relationship with one parent, but good with the other. Kind of like Tori Spelling situation. My dad built our family's wealth and died, leaving everything to mom. Mom has always been manipulative, difficult and envious of the relationship my dad and I had. In the end, I'd like to inherit something to remember my dad. I don't want anything of my mom's (not even jewelry, or should I say, especially not jewelry?). So, to be honest, I don't know what she'll do. I cannot ask her anything of my dad's, she'd never give me. [/quote]

Not OP, but I can relate to this. My dad had no idea she would not follow his wishes with money or that she would try to manipulate me with things like me wanting certain photos with dad. Keep in mind, she always made duplicate copies when getting photos developed or some object of dad's that is meaningless to her and not worth any money, but means something to me. I had to let go. My dad is wish me in spirit. I feel like I still have a relationship with him even though he is no longer living. That has been a gift. She can't take that away from me.[/quote]
