Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Dido; my BP mother tries to use her will to gave power in our relationship. I don't know how many times I have told her I have no vested interested in your money or property. I tell her to do with it whatever makes her happy. If that includes me being in her will then I am fine with that; if not, I am fine with that. She seems to perceive this as me not loving her. I highly doubt I will be on her will. What happens to her money and estate is a real concern for my mother. She changed her will at least one a year. The thing is, I don't think she has much to leave behind. She wants me to believe that she is worth about a half million, but I suspect it is likely less that 50k. Being on her will seems to be a conditional thing and I do not agree to her conditions. She is getting old, it will be interesting how she managed retirement without help. I am willing to help her, but I know she will be too proud to ask or admit that she needs help. Her parents will not be here much longer and her husband and I will be all she has. > > > > Do you have a parent with BDP and is also obsessed with money meaning, they talk, eat, sleep, breath money. I have heard that whatever issues that went on with a person that has BDP in their lives early on, they have attached themselves to money as form of the only security they know. When their relationships are in turmoil with people, the comfort of having money makes them feel powerful and a bit arrogant. My BDP mother talks about money day and nite and in every discussion, relates everything back to money. Drives me and my family crazy because she is living with us for the moment. > > > > Can anyone relate? > > > > Chasi > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
