@user-ki7mf7iz2f, I agree with you that there are good reasons for distancing yourself from family, such as the example you gave, but what many people don't realize is....that there are children who have given up on their families for reasons that aren't good reasons. They just decided to abandon their families, and yes that DOES happen. I've heard story after story of it happening to even good parents in the past few years. If the parents were so bad, for one thing, why would all their other children not abandon them too, and yet they don't. It's usually just that one child who decides to behave that way.

[@carojames6776]

[@bp6877]

My perspective differs: First, we know nothing regarding the caller's culpability; other commenters have surmised this may be a narcissistic personality trying to control others; it takes two to tango, as my Dad like to say. Second, model the behavior you want to see in the world: Be compassionate, be gracious: You still remain her parent regardless. So, you've cut her off. To what end? What have you actually achieved? Imagine the daughter's reaction when mom passes, and she sees that her mother remembered her anyways, despite everything. Why leave your daughter with spite? Is that the behavior you want to be remember for?

[@xkangaroo9738]

Money going to someone who actually deserves it, that's what's achieved. Instead of the money going to an entitled brat who was brainwashed by the media and chose wokeness over their own parents.

[@skibum914]

We have the same situation with my sister...she has cut out my father, mother and my older brother. It's very sad and is a loss for all of us. My brother and I have been paying for my mother's expenses for years now with our sister doing nothing financially or emotionally. She turned out to be a narcissist who benefited from our parents, older brother babysitting, my brother doing renovations of her home at reduced costs, loaning of money, etc...once all of that was fulfilled for her, she than turned against everyone. We have closed the loop with all wills cutting her out.

[@truelife974]

We aren't responsible for our parents financially in reality, and if we're in a position to help them that's a huge blessing. Especially if we are responsible for families of our own. The thought of that alone is enough to plunge someone into a deep depression. Life is not an exact thing and maybe all of this is too much for her to deal with. I know that I'm far more fiscally responsible than my older sister, but that's just how it is. It's just not how she's wired, and I had to realize and accept that. It's best to keep an open mind and heart because you never know what the future will bring.

[@mskimrn9636]

If the daughter wants nothing to do with parents- the parents should respect that and give her inheritance to the other child who is there. I have a sister who did this to my parents, it was so awful on my parents.

[@katen1228]

That’s sort of what I have done, left my daughter out of my will, left both my sons in and included my wonderful bonus daughter in my will ( because they may not be my daughter, they treat me like a bonus mom. Even if it is sad to lose a child, I am Blessed to have 2 bonus daughters.

[@mariahoulihan9483]

the trouble with that is that sometimes the inheriting sibling feels huge guilt. It happened to my friends Mother. Her Grannie died and left a lot of money to my friends daughter as the other daughter and her were estranged. The estranged daughter has said a lot of things and refused to assist her mother. she was the one who lived near her. Fine. so the other daughter was left it all. However, she is a soft and nice lady and felt this wasn't fair.. so she gave her sister half of the money. Six months later, the other daughter was diagnosed as seriously ill. with Mad Cow Disease.. I cannot recall the medical term now. her sons, my friends cousins, go the inheritance which the family were ok with as their Mother sadly died in hospital after a terrible time.

[@iamanomas]

Even more what is needed is an understanding of the around-the-world panic that was created by this originally unknown serious killer virus of millions of people, elderly or not, predisposed or not, immunologically compromised or not, obese or not or even young and healthy - they all, literally died before their time was due! Couple that with an already present and growing paranoia of modern science and distrust of vaccines already prevalent in society, mostly in the United States of America, you have the ingredients of tremendous conflict within the nation let alone families. This is PTSD on a national level and the uneven response caused by the already divisive politics in the US exacerbated the crisis and delayed the recovery of the public’s health and the economy. Everyone, everywhere needs to look at the broader future potential consequences of the next global pandemic and then, perhaps , we could get on the same page in terms of a plan to prevent catastrophe. IMO, don’t write your daughter off yet. She is your flesh and blood. Thoughts and analysis of this major event in all of our lives have not settled yet.

It's rare for me to disagree with Dave, but on this I disagree heartily. Firstly, why is the mother calling Dave about a matter as serious and heart wrenching as this? She needs to be speaking to someone who has the time to listen to all the 'ins and outs' of the background, and then ground the mother toward forgiveness of her daughter. And that takes time. Second, The story of the Prodigal Son is one of my absolute favourites in the Bible. The Father (Our Father in Heaven) never stopped looking out for His son, ever. He rejoiced with utter delight when His son came back. It was irrelevant to the Father that His child was all bedraggled and dirty and poverty stricken. The Father loved His child and did everything to show His son that all was forgiven, that no resentment was harboured and He had never given up His love for his child. His child was loved by Him no matter what. I hope the mother acts with kindness and forgiveness towards her daughter.

That was the first and last time I would watch this show; the audacity (and stupidity) of the guy to say that you can't ask somebody to grow a brain yet do not ask the caller, at all, if there was any issues beforehand leaves me totally dumbfounded! I'd love to hear the daughter's side of story. As a daughter who had to cut my very narcissist mother and her golden child, my little sister (I just talk with my dad) for my health and security, I am sure there is SO much more to the story. As soon as I finally cut her off she started to act like a victim, sent me suicide threats and when other families members are visiting, she acts and give news from me as if we're still speaking (funny enough my cousins, uncles and aunts know that I don't speak with her anymore). I told her that the only condition I would come back is if we go to family therapy together, can finally address her issues and apologizes to me. But of course, she found all creative reasons to not do that. I don't expect myself to be in her will, my sanity and integrity is far much important than that.

[@jbagnall943]

I have a similar situation with one of my adult children. I have struggled for several years, dealing with the rejection and grief. It came to the point of almost killing me from chronic emotional stress. I know my daughter loves me, and her hatred of me is a byproduct of a serious mental illness for which she is receiving treatment. To me, disinheriting her seemed to be punitive; and, in her mind, could support her misbelief that I loved her less than her sibling. I have chosen to forgive her completely, and the effect on me has been profoundly therapeutic. I wish you luck with your relationships.

This is the first call I disagree on. I don't pretend things didn't go overboard. The matter was made to be political when it was not. But I don't know how someone could even imagine that social distancing and masks would not slow down (not stop) any viruses that travel through air?! It literally makes no sense! We still use masks in our clinic for patients with cold symptoms and I have never been able to avoid becoming sick as much as since the pandemic, having to work with contageous patients on a daily basis, as since they have to simply wear a mask while in our office. It's such a tiny gesture of respect to us as healthcare workers and older people we treat that have weak immunse systems that wait in the same area!

[@MattH-zy9gp]

@@JustLIkerapunzel I can understand wearing masks in doctor's offices where most of the people in there are sick one way or another. That makes sense.

Over15 years we have not spoken to him because that is what he wants. He and his wife have finally divorced...I think. He also has done the same thing to his siblings. Last time we did speak I asked him to at least talk to his father...nothing. Another son has been doing drugs. We adopted at 18 to help him get his life going. He trashed my loft a "pipe" and bottles full of pee. He would start doing better than the lies and drugs started again. He also has 3 children up in Maine and 3 near me in Indiana. He just became a grandfather and has no idea, its all everyone elses fault. At first I cried for both. Then I got angry and now...Now we are done, I honestly do not care and if I saw them I would turn and walk away. We have been married for 48 years. Both will be left out of our wills.

I guarantee you mom played a big role in this daughter becoming the adult that she is. Trauma can come from anything and when it’s chronic as a kid and unresolved/unrecognized by parents, that eventually turns in to undeniable resentment for the parents as adults.

[@champagne4bfast]

This is ugly and Dave participated. I was an only child (for 40 years) to a vile man who said and did vile things to me through childhood and adulthood. It left a hole in me that makes every minute that I parent painful and intentional ie, loving and parenting does not come naturally but I work at it daily and anxiously. 19 years ago he brought me to a meeting where he set up a scholarship fund for my (then) newborn. Context: he’s extremely wealthy based on wealth he built while not paying a penny child support and my mother struggled to feed me and keep lights on until she moved in with family in my teens. When I was 40 (and he 63) he had another child (with a girl from a foreign country who didn’t speak English and was 21 ish). So now I’m 50 and have a 10 year old brother. Fast forward to today: that scholarship has matured, he thinks it entitles him to access to my 19 year old, I told him that it doesn’t and he’s livid and I have not heard from him since. If he had control of that money, he would not have given it to her…I know this for a fact. He uses money to control without me ever asking him for money (I have more money in my checking account then the total of this scholarship - he put the bare minimum into this fund when he was already a multimillionaire and single with one child at the time). I have gone on to get a degree and advanced degree. I started a business from the ground up and run it alone. I’ve never done drugs…ever the upstanding citizen. I never deserved this man or his treatment. I promise you…if he had called this show he would have painted a picture that would illicit the same response from Dave. He could say that I refuse to follow his religious path and he could say that I refuse to let him see my children alone to “guide them” in Christianity. He would sound like a sweet old guy but he is not. Money makes some people controlling and evil. Just disagreeing about a mask mandate didn’t end the relationship. What I heard was that the daughter was fearful, many of us were, and the parents were disrespectful and intolerant. I traveled for business during covid to where my mother lives. She picked me up and we kept masks on, I showed her around the Airbnb and we kept masks on, then a week later she drove me back to the airport and we kept masks on. The end. My daughter’s birthday was the following week and I didn’t want to get stuck elsewhere with a positive covid test even if I didn’t really care much about covid at that point. My mother respects me and didn’t bat an eye. Dave’s political bias made him miss the core of the issue. These parents imploded the relationship with a child because they wanted to hug said child. That hug sounds like acid if they still think they were correct to not have respect for their adult child’s assessment of the risks to their family. I got covid twice and it wasn’t a big deal (the endlessness of the coughing was not a good time but it was a relatively short 3 or 4 days) BUT it stopped the lives of everyone in my household whether they had symptoms or not because I extended respect to friends and school friends around us by following the mandates.

[@sleepingdogslie]

I have to disagree with you Dave, but then I do believe in masking up. Maybe the daughter or someone in her family was high-risk with some type of autoimmune issue, I think there's more to the story and I don't think the answer is so easily decided. And I also think there's more to it than just the money. By being removed from the will the mom needs to feel comfortable with her daughter knowing that she (the daughter) was never forgiven. I was actually left in a will when I fully expected to be removed - my mother and I had a relationship it was just very distant, with little to no emotional connection. It changed my perspective on my mother and gave me a little peace of mind that at least she didn't dislike me totally.

I think you should always leave equal amounts to all your kids regardless of where they are in your favorite child ranking. Regardless of how horrible or selfish they may be, you raised them. Do you want the last way they remember you to be a middle finger from the grave? You might be leaving them in an awful state of mutual jealousy and resentment that causes most of your money to end up in their lawyer's pockets. I'm doing significantly better than my siblings to the point that my net worth probably exceeds that of my other siblings and parents combined. So I told my parents that they should leave their estate to the other kids, one of whom has been a problem his whole life. My mom refused, saying she loves all her kids equally regardless of what they became, and that if I wanted to give my inheritance to the others to help them out, that's up to me. That's why my mom is awesome.

[@jenniferlee7167]

Dave has no idea what this parent may have done to her daughter. Was she abusive to her daughter? There are TWO sides to every story and you do not have enough information.

[@jonnaborosky8836]

There's no force on the face of the earth stronger than the prayers of a mother. Her mother can still pray for her daughter...and God can soften her heart. I lost my best friend when I changed religions. I hurt every single day for 10 years. It finally dawned on me that what I gained in spiritual life and a whole new world if friends. I felt at peace over losing my best friend. That's the day she called me. The conversation went back to the exact same words where I was hung up on 10 years previously. I asked her to hear me out. She did, and wanted to come to church with me. She did and then wanted to convert to my new religion. Do I know that outcome was because I prayed for her every day during those 10 years...no. I'm not sure. I believe in the power of prayer, because I've seen it work in completely miraculous ways. In this case, I can't say there's a causative correlation in my example. What I do know is that prayer CAN ONLY help...in whatever way God sees fit. We also need to be patient. It might take a long time for a person's heart to be softened. God will be working on it in the way He knows is the best for everyone. Patience, prayer, persistence and love will win out. No matter what, she's still your daughter. It's only been a year Be patient with her. If she inherits her portion from her parents, who were loving to her through the end, that may soften her heart. Dave, you're wrong. People change. It's WAY too soon to make these changes. That daughter is removed now, but that's not necessarily permanent. In my family, there were various times and ways we were unkind and unloving to each other. Some lasted WAY too long and were WAY too miserable. You always think it could happen to someone else, but not to your family. The thing that ended all that was the death of my brother. He always got along with everyone. So, everyone hurt the same when he died. People who had been "banned," people who hadn't spoken in years...all had to come together, see each other and talk to each other. It brought our family back together when it didn't look like anything would. What grieves me was that we had to lose my brother for that to happen. Spiritual life is SO much more important than emotional life...including grief. It's hard, but love overcomes it. When the prodigal's son returned, his father restored him to his former status as his father's son. He didn't judge him, berate him, resent him...nothing like that. He flung open his arms and made a great and expensive feast because his lost son was found. He didn't deprive his son of any of his earthly goods. I'm sure the father was in great grief all the time his son was gone, but he didn't stop hoping and praying for what was best for his son...and it happened. Be patient, prayerful and loving. Being in grief is not as bad a making a move to further alienate a daughter who's alienated herself. Be merciful, and be the steady, moving parents she needs. An inheritance doesn't say you agreed with all her actions, or weren't hurt by ber actions. An inheritance honors the fact that you bore her, raised her, and loved her through thick and thin. You loved her when she was right and when she was wrong. You loved her because she exists. You love her when she's bad or good, just as you did when she was young. Tell the Lord that it hurts you that she won't communicate with you. She must be very hurt, too, to have gone to such extremes. We may never know why...or, if you're patient and prayerful you may find out. In any case, God bless all of you.
