[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 73583, member: 3647"] MWM, I too am so sorry for your pain. After reading "wanttohelp's" post, I thought about it, and it pains me to think that so many families stop talking over love and money. My EX's brother died in 99. He was 23 years old. He left behind his fiancee and a 1 year old son, who was my Godson. Just to set up the story a little: he was the youngest of 5 kids, all boys, so the baby of the family. His death was a freak accident. He had just gotten his CDL and crashed his semi into a guardrail. Died instantly. Needless to say, the family was devastated. None moreso than mother in law. It was not so long after he died that the fiancee started seeing someone else. mother in law was fuming. She felt that it was disrespectful to her son's memory. She was only 22, and while I agree that it was pretty disrespectful, she too was pretty young. And never on her own before. SO when the entire family stopped talking to her, and I still did, mother in law stopped talking to me and my EX (whom I was still married to at the time). She viewed us as traitors. If we planted flowers at the gravesite, she would yank them out. She went to court to try and get her son's social security benefits, that were being sent to the fiancee for their child, sent to them because they did not like how she was spending it. She did not talk to us for three years. She missed the birth of Tink. She did not start seeing her until DEX and I split up (because then they DEX and mother in law could get together and pretend that it was all me). As time went by, I stopped talking to the fiancee as well, because I was voicing my displeasure at her jumping from guy to guy, and she did not want to hear it. I have not seen my Godson in ages. I have forgiven mother in law and the fiancee. I have forgiven DEX too. He was the hardest, I keep having to see him. So I hope I didn't bore you. I was just marveling at how often families get messed up over money and love. Tis a shame. [/QUOTE]
