[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 681091, member: 1963"] Well, my family never had any money to fight over, at least not in the US. My mother's family were well-off bakers on one side, and rabbis and scholars on the other. They fled the old country with the clothes on their backs and not much more, but could afford to book a cabin on the ship that bought them to St. John's Newfoundland, then belonging to the British. My mother was born there and went to Britain with her family as a toddler. My father's side were serfs and scholars. They came to the US after being rejected by Britain. They came over in steerage. My husband's family had money, and yes, Stu was disinherited for marrying me. His father specifically. His mother loved me, but sadly died young. The last time I saw my "in-laws" was at my house 2 days after the memorial service. Stu was hurt by being disinherited, not because it meant he was missing out on a lot of money, but because of what it symbolized. As it turned out, it was moot, as Stu predeceased his father by a couple of years. My mother has gotten into this weird mode lately of saying she has to save money so she has something to leave to my sister and I, and her grandkids. Personally, I'd much rather she spend our inheritance down to the last dime, and have a blast doing so. If not, I would rather she cut me out of the will and leave her "estate" to my sister and the grandkids. [/QUOTE]
