[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t a complicated inheritance situation, OP.  You didn’t inherit. Nor were you expecting to inherit.  Nor were you entitled to inherit.  It’s actually kind of gross that had you not known about the ONE cousin (and you don’t actually know anything about the situation) you would’ve been perfectly content and missing your grandmother, but now you’re talking yourself into a worldview in which she “owed” you for your affection.[/quote]

I think almost anyone in OP’s place would feel hurt by this. It’s actually kind of weird if someone had this happen to them and didn’t feel hurt, even if they don’t need the money. It’s about the feelings and thought process that went into leaving $75,000 to just 1/15 cousins and a random, not sentimental piece of jewelry to the other 14/15 cousins. That is hurtful no matter your financial situation. [b]It’s like saying you value the relationship with one grandchild more than the others.[/b] [/quote]

No, that is not what the situation is saying.

Also, the word "weird" is subjective and means nothing. [/quote]

Then why give one grandchild a large amount of money and give the others no money at all? What do you think the reason is?[/quote]
