Quote From: possumone AS I watched this program I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. This Mother she should look in the mirror and say to herself she is the problem in this relationship, and Lisa needs to take some part in it. The Mother is doing a disservice to both daughters, the youngest wanted to have an older sister but her Mother has discouraged this, The daughters should get together and be sisters even if Mom doesn't like it. Also the grandchildren are suffering and that makes me sad. After my Mother and Father died my family got cross legged with one another and split the family, I stayed neutral and both sides got upset with me. This family will be completely split when the Mother dies and I wonder if this in the legacy she wants to leave. She is acting like a juvenile. There will be nothing but heartache for the rest of the family.
Money does odd things to people doesn't it?
My grandmother was living with my mother during the last several months of her life. When she died, Mom, who was an only child, said that Grandma did not have as much money as she let on, AND she changed the will from my sister, my step brother and myself, split equally a certain amount of money, with Mom getting the House and it's contents.
Grandma changed her will just before she died, to read that MOM got everything and it was Grandma's wish to share with us kids. My sister went ballistic, and wanted what Grandma had promised. Mom gave my brother and I each some money, but my sister wanted 4 times that amount!
She called me, and told me she had evidence that the will had been changed when Grandma was under heavy medication. I doubted that. Sis wanted me to help her sue my Mom. I said NO. I care more about the relationship I have with Mom then money, even though I could have used some (and sis was well off). As a result, I enjoy a nice, comfortable relationship with my Mom, and we have not seen nor hear from my sister in almost 9 years.....so be it....money over family.
This family, I bet, will stay estranged from one another. Right or wrong, their blood runs green
