Re: The big one and the west coast...... Elle
Actually the inheritance isn't the main source of our wealth. It was the icing on the cake. We both had IRAs and a joint saving account that equaled more than I inherited from her. RR thinks it should be split 3 ways, each kid getting an equal amount. His daughters, both college educated and married to professional men don't need it. My son on the other hand could use it as he chooses to stay in Queens where rents and utilities and carfare suck them dry. He finished a trade school called Brooklyn Automotive but never went to college. Such a waste as he was tested above average IQ and no learning disabilities. For all intents and purposes my son has left the family. He's gone on with his life as if none of us existed. He's an angry bitter man but I can only guess why. I did all I could for him over the years. You well know the sacrifices parents make for their kids. This mentality or whatever you call it runs in my family on both sides, as I mentioned in the past. I guess I feel like old Ponya and maybe I shouldn't. I have to give it more thought. I feel I would be rewarding him for ignoring us, not visiting, not calling. I'm not the type to try and hang onto those who don't care to be hung onto.
