[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not owed anything from dead relatives. You did not earn that money. Have grace. [/quote]
Well I mean neither did my cousin, but it had to be left to someone. It’s hurtful nonetheless, to know my grandfather didn’t see me as deserving. I wish I could ask him why. [/quote]

He could’ve left it to Donald Duck. And I still think you’re being irrational. It’s not yours to have.  [/quote]
NP, but you honestly can’t understand the hurt? [/quote]

I can understand initial hurt and disappointment, but then it’s time to move on. Her disappointment stems from what her perceptions/assumptions of what was going to happen.

OP says herself “ I work my butt off, and for what!” That tells me there’s more going on than just the grandfather’s inheritance. She has a chip on her shoulder. I hope she’s able to work through these issues, finding acceptance and happiness.[/quote]
I get that, but when we pass on and leave our estate to others, with it we have the choice to either improve our memories in the eyes of our loved ones, or tarnish them, as noted here. A blatant choice was made here, and a tarnished memory formed because of that choice. [/quote]

Totally agree.  OP, you grandfather did that to himself.  Tell your kids what he was really like - don't hold back! He made his choice of how he wants to be remembered. [/quote]

Can you imagine what this would teach OP’s kids? Money is everything kids. All value as a person can be reduced to cash money. If you approve of someone’s life choices the only way to show them is to pay them. [/quote]

Meh.  Hopefully the kids already know about money. [/quote]
