[quote=Anonymous]Usually the rule is give equal unless there are serious medical needs/special needs. However, if the adult children are totally fine with unequal due to life circumstances, etc and there is open discussion and input, I don't think it should be an issue.

My dysfunctional mother told me I would get more during the period of time she was angry with my Golden child sister and I insisted it be equal. My sister is litigious and difficult and while I don't plan to have a relationship with her, I don't want to be entangled in a lawsuit and hostility.

Fast forward to our aging mother losing it and being angry that I was pushing for a dementia evaluation and expressing concerns and my sisters convinces her not to get evaluations and to give her massive handouts and a larger inheritance.Mom presented it to me as punishment for being concerned about her health.

It won't impact our relationship because I don't plan to have one and I am not surprised this happened. It was hard to hear the sob story about why she deserves it when she blew through so much money making her ex husband's life a living hell, she had regular maid service (I never had a maid), she got fired from her job and decided to just get handouts from mom rather than find a new one. The best part is after years of me being there for mom, when she is in town and there is an emergency she tries to demand I handle it and blows up when I expect her to be a grown up and deal with it.[/quote]
