re: Has anyone else experienced a gold digger and/or homewrecker destroying their family

wife died because she "loves" him and not because he is a golden parachute and worth many millions of dollars from real estate, stocks, bonds, etc.

frick that. Give him my number and he'll wanna marry me when I'm done with him

I'm not a billionaire so no.

People lose their fricking minds when it comes to being “owed” an inheritance.

So Whats the alternative?

Just say, “Aw frick it. Let my grandfathers new gold digging wife have all of the money. frick my mother (or father), they don’t deserve any of his money. This gold digging bitch deserves it all.”

Go frick yourself dude. Inheritance is not some new concept that people should be ashamed of expecting to receive if you come from a family of means.

It’s literally why some people are so driven, so they can make their descendants lives better.

he is 77

probably picked up some idea about how inheritance and divorce work in his 77 years of building wealth. Unless he isn’t of sound mind, he gets to make his own choices regardless of who gets an undeserved windfall when he dies.

Maybe she's jealous of Gayle Benson.

My dad clearly hated his fam. Mom died and a year later he married a woman who was 40+ years younger than him and younger that all us kids. Fast forward, he died and she got 2 farms, 2 businesses, and a lake home.
We kids got zippo. Not even a mention in the will.

The one farm had been in the fam for well over 100 years.

That’s just terrible and unfortunate. Sorry to hear this.

But apparently most of the fricking assholes in this thread think that that’s perfectly fine.

But I’m sure they’d be fine with it if it happened to them.

Funny how kids and grandkids that were raised by someone or received the benefit of reasonably well-off grandparents think they should get the money

i am not by any means estranged from my parents. I love them, but we've had some pretty large fracture points over the last few years and it's gotten worse. Had one this last weekend and I still called him yesterday for his birthday and had a pleasant exchange..


My older sister is a 4'10 250 lb communist lesbian and stays home, works for them, and sucks off the family teat. I fully expect them to leave her everything.

I've tried to live my life in such a way that if I don't get one cent from them after they pass, it won't affect me at all and I will think no less of them.

not your money, it was your DAD'S money to spend how he felt.

Wrong. That Century Farm was not his to let get away from the family. It was his grandparents or great grandparents. He didn't earn it, he inherited it.

Other assets, fine, do what you want, but legacy assets like the family farm do not fall into that category.

This happened to my wife's family. Her father inherited a farm that his family was on so long the fort his ancestors built to keep from being killed by the Indians is a museum next door to the house my wife grew up in.

He didn't earn the farm, and it was slated legally to go to his kids when he died. He divorced and ended up marrying a woman that didn't even own a car. She was literally penniless.

She convinced him to sell and move out of state and just so happened moved to a state where the surviving spouse gets 100% of the assets. He died and she got everything. She died about a year later and her kids wouldn't even split the proceeds (around 1 mil) with my wife and her brothers.

Those kids, whose mother was penniless 4 years prior, split a million dollars and cut out the kids who were supposed to inherit the value originally.

Everything works out in the end somehow. I still believe that

There is no way he was alive over 100 years ago to establish the farm.

In my family tree there are 3 Century Farms. I know exactly how they work.

Leveraged? Possible, but not likely given his other assets, another farm, two additional businesses. I can make some assumptions given the facts at hand.
