[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your SIL family doesn't give a shit about the kid. They want they money that was left him for college. The battle isn't about you being poor (you're not) its about you getting access to money that they want. [/quote]

I think this is a terribly ungenerous view. Like someone said upthread, these people just lost their daughter in what I assume was an accident, since it took OP's brother too. They are grieving and that makes people do terrible things sometimes. I highly doubt they're trying to be hurtful or taking on the burden of raising a 2 year old for his college fund. They are scrabbling for any tie to their daughter. I feel sorry for everyone in this situation, I can't even imagine how hard it is all around. These are probably normally very decent people who are grief stricken at the loss of their daughter and fearful that they will lose any relationship with their grandson if he is raised by the other side of the family.

OP, if you are designated in the will as who they choose to raise their child, it's unlikely the grandparents will be able to seriously challenge that, especially since you sound stable and have the baby's best interests at heart. But I do think maintaining compassion even when they make things difficult will do you a world of good. They will come out of this fog one day. [/quote]
