A couple should always have a private discussion about whether or not to have children. When additional family members become involved, things may get messy. Take this example. A mother cannot handle the notion of having no grandchildren, so she refuses to leave her daughter any inheritance.<\/p>\n
I informed her she wasn\u2019t getting my inheritance.<\/p>\n
The mother says, \u201cMy daughter married last year, and I\u2019ve been quietly hoping for a grandchild ever since.\u201d One day, she informed me, \u2018Mom, I\u2019m infertile. I was stunned. \u2018You will not receive my inheritance,\u2019 I war:ned her.<\/p>\n
They recently adopted a girl. My daughter inquired if that counted, and I answered, \u2018No, she\u2019s not biologically yours. To my horror, a week later, they arrived at my home with adoption papers and a lawyer.<\/p>\n
For illustrative purpose only
\nThings became very complex.<\/p>\n
She goes on, \u201cMy daughter\u2019s eyes were red from sobbing, but her voice was firm as she stated, \u2018You made it clear that blood is all that counts to you. So we made a decision.\u2019 Then her husband stepped up, clutching their adoptive daughter close, and handed me a document.<\/p>\n
It was a petition to formally terminate my rights as a grandmother. My daughter said, \u2018If she isn\u2019t your family, neither are we.\u2019 She slammed the door closed. I could not believe it. I lost my daughter. \u201cI\u2019m not sure what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
