Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 TKT: It really isn't about the money, really. But what angers me the most is how my relatives on my Father's side screwed me over the $25,000 that was left to me by my Paternal grandmother when she died on Dec. 20, 2003. That is what really angers, upsets and saddens me the most. If I were a multi - millionaire I would make sure that every single one of my living relatives - even those I had never met would have their needs taken care of. Even if they were mean to me in life I would make sure that in death I would leave everybody a little something. To leave any relative out would be mean, cold, cruel and selfish and greedy. I don't want to be that mean lady who left her entire fortune to her dog, not leaving a penny to her own children (biological or fake children). Tara Kimberley Torme Hi Tara, A similar thing happened to my MIL, twice & also to one of Kim's providers. It seems like when money is involved, people become selfish & greedy & only see how they can use the money. I find that when money is involved, even siblings will fight over it, let alone other relatives. I'm almost glad that my parents had/have no money to leave us & as my brother is taking care of our mom, he will get the house that they're living in now & the rest of us are OK with that. I look at my sister in law who is always after money in some form, from others & at 50 is still not self sufficient. I think Sondra's advice is a good one, to look at nonbiological people that you meet who you can connect with, that will become your support system. If you can make those connections locally, so you have " live " people to talk to, hopefully that will be of help. At one point, I felt like " divorcing " my sister who wouldn't allow us to stay at her home b/c she was afraid Kim would break their belongings when Kim was at a stage when she had " behaviors " . I " forgave " them at a later point when I realized that just b/c they're " family " they don't understand or be supportive of what we go through. As a mom, I don't even begin to know what people on the spectrum really go through, but I appreciate all the input that I get from those on the spectrum that can express some of the experiences, which is very helpful to me. I hope it helps to be on this group, as I think being able to talk about your feelings helps. Marie -- Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
