Name changed for this as it's very embarrassing. 95 year old grandfather wants to marry 40 year old and change his will to leave 50% of everything he owns to the woman. He is very wealthy but unbelievably stingy. He made my mum and her siblings suffer to the level of almost starvation as children while he has several flats, houses, million pound businesses etc. there was also a lot of domestic violence involved.
they mended their relationship as adults (I don't know why) but the stinginess continues.
And then he suddenly comes up with this idea to marry this woman because he complains that he is lonely and he has no one to take care of him. It's not true because my mum is always there for him after all he did. he is very strong and healthy, still able to work.
I don't know what to expect from this thread. My poor mum is heartbroken and the financial element is secondary. She felt unloved her whole life with a father who would abuse them and my grandmother and now she is seeing him being loving, kind and generous with a random stranger.
Everyone who knows her thinks she is an angel and I hate seeing her suffer.
