tinktronik Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 My s/o's father began to call recently and stayed in touch ,its been nice and my s/o has been finally trying to get to know his dad ,we have made a few trips to see him began aking calls to him and sending cards ,just normal stuff.My s/o's mother died last summer after a long illness and recently my s/o's father disclosed that unknown to him his wife had made him an extremely wealthy man . He's always held that both of his sons "never met their potential" and seems to use it as a mantra no matter how accomplished they are . Any faults or mistakes they have made have over shadowed their accomplishments at every turn, to him. He called today to let my s/o know that he had decided to give all the money that his mother had set aside for him as inheritance away to charity because my s/o had never met his potential and didnt deserve it,that the money is in the M's but that he wasn't going to squander it on his sons .Why tell his son their was any money , that he might want to invest some of it with my s/o , he'd told him to let him know if they wanted they could do projects together .I just don't get this at all . Why even call to tell him that he's giving it all away b/c my s/o doesn't deserve it ? Link to post Share on other sites
norajane Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Because he wants to use the money to control his sons, that's why. If mother left the money to her sons in her will, your SO's father should not legally be able to touch it...the executor of her estate should have contacted the sons and distributed the money. If she left all her money to her husband, and he decides to give it to charity or whatever, that's his option. If he's holding it over their heads, he wants to use to control them to 'live up to their potential, or maybe to 'buy' their attention. Link to post Share on other sites
