[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is op.  Ok.  I will talk to my family about this.  I truly do not want to see them.

[b]My aunt has long held the position that this is none of my business[/b], and that even if my uncle keeps the money, it doesn't matter, she has a lot of money and gives my mother what she needs, my uncle can keep the money if he wants it that much.  I disagree with the presumption that we should let people walk all over us because they really want to.  DH sort of agrees, in a "why bother making drama, it's old family history stuff" sort of way.  So it will basically be me against everyone.  I don't care, though.  I am done watching my mother getting stepped on and used.[/quote]

It is absolutely your business!  Your mom lives with YOU and is financially destitute. If your aunt shuts off the financial and "emotional" aid, you and DH are on the hook for all of it. The proceeds from the land sale could definitely ease the financial pressure of your mother's current and future expenses.  If your DH thinks it is worth it to kiss up to your aunt and extended family while your uncle treats her like crap, you might have to compromise your integrity and peace of mind for the sake of your marriage. I would hope not but you and DH must discuss what both of you are willing to do. He might be fine doing the occasional long schlep and not mind being their sightseeing guide while you make other plans.  Sorry, OP.[/quote]
