Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Welcome! I'm sure your mother was hoping to bring you to your knees by writing you out of the will -- when, really, it's your ticket out of having to have anything to do with them anymore! It'll backfire! If she tries to suck you back in, you can now say " No -- I respect your wishes to write me out of your life (will, same thing), so I'm giving you your space. " or words to that effect. I'd cheerfully use her own actions against her. You're free! Isn't it sad that she can't try to cultivate a real relationship with you and she must know it, otherwise she wouldn't try to blackmail you with yanking your inheritance. Whatever it is, your freedom from tyranny is worth it. Again -- welcome! -Kyla > > I just found out about this site after reading " Walking on > Eggshells " .

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 When all other forms of intimidation fail, BPs always use money. It feels good to be impervious to all their evil tactics. > > > > I just found out about this site after reading " Walking on > > Eggshells " .
