Family can be complicated and messy, especially when there is money involved. But thoughts of inheritance can have an impact on everyone, even our grandkids. One of our readers reached out and shared how her decision made her regret everything.
This is Dana’s story.

My son asked me why, and I said, “My granddaughter is my blood. She deserves my whole legacy.” I know it sounds wrong, but she was the miracle baby. The one who would continue our bloodline, and I wanted her to have everything she would need to succeed in life.
But a couple of days later, I got a horrible call that made me regret every decision I made. My son and his wife had lost the baby, and due to the tragic event they wouldn’t be able to have any more children. On that call, my son asked me if I was happy now.

He is refusing to talk to me or to let me get anywhere near his fa
