You were blessed to have had good parents and a loving grandmother. I agree with you that it's a disgrace to those who worked so hard to keep you all together but there is often NOTHING one person can do when others insist on going in another direction.

Btw, your last line was the best!
My Mom was a real PIP. She wanted me to take out a Life Insurance Policy at a Fortune 500 Company that she worked for and when she died I would be set in one move.

I refused and told her that she was asking me to bet on or profit from her NOTHING but Cashing in on her Heavenly Reward and that I wasn't interested. She was furious. I still said and told her I want NOTHING to do with her idea but thanked her for looking out for me. There is more than $$$Money$$$ to this life and I can be bought but not by betting on a terrible event like losing a parent! We NOTHING but made up and were thicker than thieves when she did die many years later.
