[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is you step mom Jewish? I hate to pin this all on his wife, but over and over I’ve seen the dynamic of a new wife not caring about her husbands kids or grandkids. And causing the man to give less or show up less than he would normally. And if she’s not Jewish this might play into it even more.

Of course, a real man doesn’t let his wife control his family relations, so it’s his fault anyways. [/quote]

This. No respectable man of means, whose own parents gave his child 1,800 in the 90s, gives cufflinks to his grandchild for his bar mitzvah unless it is new-wife driven. Especially if she isn't Jewish. That said, I don't know how you possibly address that without further making new wife really put the brakes on more interaction. [b]Separately, on't expect any inheritance[/b]. [/quote]

You shouldn't expect it anyway. No one owes you their money.[/quote]

I get that. But, to me, it's always a shame when the new wife takes away the original family kids' inheritance. [/quote]

There's no inheritance if your relative doesn't leave it to you. It's their choice to let someone take their money, just like it would be their choice to let you take it. They don't want you to have it.[/quote]
