Replies to '04/21 The Dr. Phil House: House of Greed, Part 2'

This story has hit home with me. My grandfather died lat year and all anyone seems to think about is who my grandmother will leave her belongings to. As far as I am concerned she can burn it all and be well within her rights. My grandparents have helped out their children too much and, at least two of the girls, now have a huge sense of entitlement.

My oldest aunt has been given two homes that had to be destroyed because she did not take care of them. She forever walks around saying that shes the oldest and therefore should get whatever she wants. Her current boyfriend called my grandfather dad and my grandmother mom. They both despised it and felt very uncomfortable that he was doing so. In fact after my grandpas funeral he declared that dad wanted him to have all his tools.

My other aunt is an alcoholic and seems to enjoy calling people while she is drunk and saying nasty things. Unfortunately, because my sister is buying one of my grandparents houses, before my grandfather died, she is a primary target. When in town I have also received phone calls from her. At Christmas she could not even call my grandmother and wish her a Merry Christmas. When my grandma called her for us to bring over stuff all she could do is ask what other items she gets. She seems to forget that these objects belong to my grandmother and it is up to her to do with them as she pleases.

Lisa sounds just like my aunts. She really has no business even knowing what is in her mothers will. She says that she has earned her inheritance. Earning an inheritance would infer that she has done something to get it. Is it demanding that property gets divided how she wants it? Perhaps she earned it by being nasty to her sister. No, no I get it; it is when she is so proud of her husband for being rude to her mother.

Quite frankly I find it hard to believe Lisa because it seems that she is prone to exaggerating situations. For example, she says over and over that her mother cut off her precious children from emergency help with the fence but even when Sonyas husband said that they left an opening for them she did not dispute it. As far as her daughter declaring that she was left out of the will and it is all Sonyas doing that she is hurt. I would argue that with the things that Lisa says at home about her own mother are much more destructive. I can almost hear it now.If your grandmother loved you she would give me whatever I happen to want from her today. Come on doctor Phil stand up for the children here. You can bet that whatever Lisa says to you she has said things at least twice as nasty to or around her children.
