[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 469116, member: 11791"] Ktlc - The most important advice I can give you, is do NOT do anything about this in a hurry. The situation for your husband is complex. He is grieving.... first, for his father - on some level. No matter what he was or wasn't as a person, unless there has been a really healthy long-term relationship, when a parent dies, the child loses the "dream" of possibly changing the relationship. And the loss of the dream is harder than the loss of the person. He is also grieving for the loss of the dream of "family". This is also huge. In many ways, he has been betrayed by family - and that hurts very deep, and heals very very slowly if at all. He needs time - and someone (other than you) to talk to... therapist, clergy, somebody who understands the grief process. Do whatever you have to with the lawyer, to buy time. [/QUOTE]
