Money can ruinfamilyrelationships, especially when a large sum is involved.
Sometimes, the rift between close kin can transcend generations, resulting in potentially irreparable damage.
That is the exact premise ofthis story.
The author isnt willing to make amends with their entire family until they receive theamount owed.
However, the problem appears to lie more with the father, who may have incorrectly allocated the money.
Vague wording on the will may also cause a stir, something Kotzer calls a ticking time bomb.
He gave an example of a woman who left antiques to her daughter, which caused a dispute.
What qualifies as an antique?
Does that include the womans Elvis Presley collection?
One word can destroy a family, Kotzer pointed out.
They believe their fathers ego may have robbed them of a more financially stable life.
Involving a neutral third party could be another good option.
The author claims to have consulted a lawyer but has had no success.
They could try talking within the family and not letting money ruin their relationship, which would be unfortunate.
What do you think, readers?
Was it too harsh of a decision to cut ties with the entire family because of a lost inheritance?
