[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 540347"] My younger (mid-40s) sister turned her back completely on her/my parents about a dozen years ago and has encouraged her two sons (one is the difficult child mentioned in my details below) to do the same. Phone calls & voicemails on birthdays and Xmas were never answered or returned. It has been very hurtful for my mother but my father basically accepted it (unhappily) years ago and washed his hands of her. It's much harder to do that with grandchildren, but they've had to make their peace with that too. Some adult children are just heartless ****s, frankly. It's a sad fact of life, but there it is. I don't blame you at all for removing him from your will--why answer ostracism and contempt with generosity? Best to just focus your attention on the remaining children and grandchildren. Life is too short to waste time or resources on people who've turned their backs on you. [/QUOTE]
