My children only visited me for money. I felt like a cash machine more than their mother.
I (68f) I have four adult children. For years, they barely summoned what they did not need something. Usually money. Nothing on my birthday.
They did not visit me when I underwent surgery. One text. But suddenly, when someone is late for rent or needs a loan “until Friday only”, they remember that I am.
With the exception of Jack (32 meters). My younger. Every Sunday visits, checks me during the storms, helps all parts of the house, and never asks for ten cents. He even remembered the anniversary with his late father. Bring the flowers, while others did not send a text.
So I made a decision. During a family dinner, I said: “All inheritance will be divided evenly between you, except for Jack. He will not get the same amount. He will receive much more, and I give him this house as well.”
Marissa (40 Fahrenheit), I offer me, pale. I stumbled, “What? That’s it?” She was clearly trying to treat shock.
I took a deep breath, allowing the tension to be constructed before the follow -up. I said that Jack was the only one who showed me any real care, and will receive the largest part of it, while each of them gets $ 10,000.
silence. Then there was screaming. Then storm.
Jack was stunned. He said he was not doing it, but he pressed my hands too.
I think I made the right decision, but it will be painful for everyone.
