[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s really the most you can do if your adult child doesn’t want to have a relationship with you.[/quote]

[b]So your adult child doesn't want anything to do with you and to get back at them you cut them off[/b]?

That for sure will remove any doubts why they stopped wanting to have a relationship with you.  Very mature of you![/quote]

This is strange logic. If an adult child doesn't want anything to do with their parent, that should also include wanting nothing to do with the parent's wealth/inheritance. You can't have it both ways. If you cut off your parents, put your entire back into it.[/quote]

but usually it’s a much bigger gray area. I am the PP who wrote about how my dad cut me out of his will. At the time he did that, I wasn’t totally estranged or cut off (which was why I was perplexed about it). as best as I can tell it was just (yet another) episode of him using whatever nuclear option was available to try to gain control, as well as a very dysfunctional relationship to money. because there was actually no significant money to leave me anyway.

so his act of cutting me out of his will was what created the definitive estrangement. it wasn’t me. [/quote]
