Why does family loss bring out the worst in people?

Have you experienced the arguments between siblings over cash and property?

Brothers and sisters we thought we were close to, suddenly turn into scavengers, have you experienced this?

Hi lucy, I have experienced this and it does stink unfortunately when it did happen to me. My brother got my mothers house, he has no kids. and it has a 3 bedroom and 2 bath and he only pays my grandmother 600 a month for it, be they own it now after she passed away. meanwhile i am living with my children in a two-bedroom apartment paying 800 a month... its unfair and just cruel. Unfortunately i learned how to cope with it, as there is nothing i can do to control that situation and just learned the value of working for things i have more. As my brother never had to go out and do that stuff, he does work and make really good money compared to me so that is another reason why i am upset. but hey, i learned to move on and be grateful for the things i do have. if you would like to talk more don't hesitate to message me love<3 have a great day. positive vibes coming your way!

Hi @magicalOcean594

Thank you so much for your reply<3

How awful for you {{{hugs}}} but I'm not at all surprised, this seems to be so common in this situation but tragic, because at a time like loss we should all be pulling together, not counting money!

Do you still talk with your brother?

i have honestly never seen it go well... in friends and even my family

every group seems to have people who it becomes what is in it for me types. It is a game changer and many times people will NOT get over what ever slight they felt about whatever even small things like trinkets. No one has spoken to each other since the death.

have sisters who decided they wanted a dresser from our mothers house after her death....... they literally threw clothes on floor and one took the frame that drawers fit in and other mad she was too late stole the drawers ......... i honestly never heard if they came to agreement or if both still have parts that make they other items useless.

Hi @toughTiger6481

It's so sad and mad!

It's like something in the brain flicks a switch and greed takes over, absolutely awful and many relationship never recover which is the saddest thing of all, I can testify to that!

It is very hard to get over that Mad.....

i do not look back but others outside ask hey what about family etc ....

it is as if i did not know them at all.... and it is OK to feel that way

it is ok to see behind the mask and not fall for excuses or rationalization for the greed and no one will ever br happy about it.

I love your thinking but.....

I haven't found it easy at all, even years later.

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts.
