My godfather was a huge part of my life growing up. But his alzheimers probably started not long after dp and I got together so dp has never really known the real him.
Sadly my godfather died recently, and left a sizeable chunk of his estate to my mum. My mum has decided to gift me 20k of this. I was left jewellery, but no cash. Am I wrong to view this money as mine rather than family money?
So as not to drip feed dp's parents died before we met and although the money he inherited from them was part of the deposit for our house it's protected by a deed of trust, which I'm more than happy about. It's also a lot more than my inheritance from godfather (via my mum).
But dp keeps making plans for what we'll do with the money and I just feel unreasonable for wanting to say it's mine and my decision. What do you think?
