When Grandma dies, she wants to leave everything to her drug-addicted daughter?

  • Posted on July 29, 2010 at 10:23 pm

This is my husband’s mother and grandmother we’re talking about. The mother has been addicted to crack for 20+ years. Seriously. She has stolen from her family (including Grandma), lied, prostituted, been in and out of jail, etc.
Grandma is in denial about her daughter’s recovery and always believes she’s doing “better.”
This has nothing to do with my husband wanting a “piece of the pie” when Grandma dies. He just doesn’t want to see his grandma’s house and all her belongings sold for crack – which his mother WILL do.
Is there anything he can do? Or does he have any say in this business?

Thanks.
His mother is 1200 miles away and Grandma lives here by us.
At this point, there is nothing that can be done about his mother – atleast not by him. She’s a grown woman – almost 50! She’s has had many opportunities to straighten her life out. She’s even been through an expensive rehab treatment. She’s been in jail…
Honestly, if his mother was sober, he would have no problem with it. He just hates the thought of all Grandma’s treasures being sold for crack and smoked up.

How can I encourage my 6 yr. old daughter to be respectful towards her Grandma?

My mother is very critical and can be down right rude. She is a recovering alcoholic and now she is abusing pain killers (oxycotin) and ordering Phentermine off the internet. I found her stash and come to find out she has used my sisters maiden name, my name, and my best friends name. I cant stand to be around her. We always end up in a arguement. But I owe a lot to her because she has helped me out a great deal. She buys my daughter clothes every season and my mom and dad took her to DisneyLand for spring break. I just dont understand why my daughter is so cold towards my mother. I know she wasnt hurt her in anyway. and I think it has to do with me. Its probably my fault because when my mom gets nasty I will stand up for myself. Another reason I believe is when my mom and dad watched my daughter while I worked she spent a lot of time with them and my mom would always say to my dad to basically get out of the house with my daughter and go do something. Can a 2 year old pick up on
