[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 505586, member: 3305"] Hi Alabamagirl, Another here that agree's with Exhausted. About the Will...husband and I have agreed to leave equal shares to our children, regardless of their "situations". husband's mother (who was an alcoholic and big time enabler to husband's difficult child sister) died and left Everything to husband's sister. husband's sister was an addict who would not/could not hold down a job and she was "raising" her son alone. I say "raising" because at one point difficult child sister dropped off her son at our doorstep and drove away while her son knocked on our door and said, "Aunt T will you let me stay with you". While difficult child sister drove away and no doubt party-ed all the while. I had told difficult child sister that I no longer was going to be "used" by her UNLESS husband and I were to adopt her son (which we actually considered at one point). Anyway...poor husband felt like his mother had Punished Him for being a Success! Can't tell you the division it created after husband's mother's death. husband really resents his sister for being such a difficult child...and his mother for falling for it. He had overcome So SO much and done so well in life that he ended up with nothing from his mother...well, except the many boxes of her memorabilia etc since certainly couldn't be trusted in husband's difficult child sister's hands. So...Because of that personal story we decided that regardless of success or failure by our children that we would distribute any wealth equally. LMS [/QUOTE]
