Dispicable! These 3 daughters are lower than scum. Read the complete article and you will see what I mean.
Okay Mom, Way to Go
Actions have consequences. These daughters failed to honor (respect) their mother... they deserve what they got.
And if anyone want’s to argue with me about it, I’ll tell them the story of the little red hen. (The story of the prodigal son is NOT applicable, because though he DID disrespect his father, he realized that he was wrong.)
Honor your father and your mother so that it may go well with you!
Good on the mom. I know I would never do this to mine.
All this for what $150,000 for three people?
Hmm, sounds familiar.
Anyway, I had to rib you on another thread about fishing.
for later reading
But you did not excerpt the part telling about how Mrs. Swanston’s daughters legally owned the house before all of that happened. She was only squatting in the house. She should have made other arrangements when her father-in-law died, leaving the house to her daughters.
And she reared them.
For instance, this mother's father in law, very purposely, because of a fallout, left the house to the mother's children instead of to his son, her husband, and her. So there was already a good bit of domestic friction in play well before this.
Granted trying to evict your mother is pretty low, but it was their house, they claim they needed the money and it may have been behavior learned over a lifetime of growing up under this mothers tutelage.
... Zipping up flame retardant suit.
IMO, after reading the whole piece, I find it probable, that the apathy was taught from one generation to the next.
My old job required that I would occasionally have to read wills. They were all pretty unremarkable, except for one- A father left his son one dollar, and his other son got everything else (except for the aforementioned $1...). I was curious about the specifics, but the will only stated something along the lines that the son had never shown him any affection.
