[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] Really? I’d think that the most you can do is an inventory of your own behavior — and try to sort things out with your kid. Kids are born ready to love. As a parent, I’d want to understand how that got disrupted, and do my best to repair the situation if I could. My last thought would be about how I could make them suffer after I’m dead. If your goal is to try to control them by telling them your plan while you’re still alive — then it’s pretty clear, to me, at least — why an adult child would be “stand-offish”. If this is your goal, I’ll guess that you have others in place in the event that you need any sort of care or advocacy as you get older. Also, as others have said, if you plan to punish the children of your stand-offish adult child, that would be cruel. [/quote]
