[QUOTE="DDD, post: 540166, member: 35"] I have often found that "the will" becomes a common topic as parents age and their children move on to live their own lives. I have a brother who has bequeathed his estate to the University he attended rather than to his children/grands. I think it is a good idea to revisit the topic when there are no current feelings of illwill. Most of us have been imperfect parents and raised imperfect children. Sadly none of us can redo the past in hopes of having a happier present or future. We, in fact, have excluded one of our six children from our will. on the other hand it was not done to punish her or cause her emotional trauma. She, literally, has accessed and spent more than her share is likely to be and so her bioson will be receiving her 1/6th. This is not a secret in our family. There was no confrontation or revenge. I hope you and your husband can find some new shared pleasures during this stage of your life. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
