Reading DM this morning (serves me right) and wondered what your thoughts were on the plight of Linda Bellongham's 2 adult sons contesting their late mother's will in favour of their step father.
They insist it's 'not about the money'. Er.. yes, that's exactly what it's about. Their mother knew she was dying for some time and had ample opportunity to consider her will. If she decided (allbut mistakenly) to put faith in her husband, that's surely a decision she consciously made.
I'm mentioning this as I'm wondering if a lot of the hostility experienced by step parents of teenage children (not all of course), stems from resentment and fear of losing out on their full inheritance when the time comes and paying for the life choices of their parent. Sorry I don't know how to link the article.
