[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP. Please detach the money people receive from the affection your Grandmother had for each of you. They are separate.

I know it's hard to understand. My family had a quarter century inheritance lawsuit and multiple accusations of theft from my Grandfather's will. Apparently certain of my relatives didn't like that I inherited more than my younger cousins, because they were not born when he died. My aunt took jewelry that my Grandmother wanted me to have, because her kid didn't get as much from the will, or for whatever reason, no idea.

With time, things will become less painful. [/quote]Thank you. I’m actually finding that with time, I’m growing MORE resentful. My cousin already inherited a house when her father passed away and is quite set financially.  My friends keep telling me it’s probably because she knew I could hold my own, and didn’t “need” help, that she didn’t leave money to me. As if I would have squandered it or something. [b]It would have been a blessing.[/b] [/quote]

But its not reality and it never was, so you can't think about what ifs.

Your grandmother wrote her will according to her perceptions of need, not after an analysis of "closesness", which is relative anyway. [/quote]
