[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The adult child already knows that all you can do is manipulate with money, and they don't want any of that. It would be a relief if you cut them out, then they don't have to deal with your stupid stuff once you finally die. Read the threads about people dying with house full of stuff that nobody wants. And no, it's highly unlikely you have anything valuable, people like you never do. [/quote]

This is true. When I found out from siblings that my dad had cut me out of his will, it was kind of a relief (after the initial hurt wore off). Get out of jail free card to never have to deal with any of his care or stuff or nonsense. Like I happily spent the money and vacation time I would have spent to visit him when he was sick to take my kid to Disney instead. The funny thing is that he actually will leave just debts and no estate, so the whole “cutting people out of the will” was just a way to exercise control (part of a long pattern of such attempted contol.)[/quote]
So when you believed you would get inheritance you visited, but when you found out you are not inheriting you no longer visit? [/quote]

I’m a NP, but I didn’t read it that way. It’s more like her father let her know where she stood in their relationship and it was a relief for her to be able to move on, knowing without question that she wasn’t harming any possibility of a relationship because he didn’t want one. It’s not about the money. [/quote]
