DEAR ABBY: My mother passed away six years ago. She was a manipulative woman who had alienated all family members except my adult son. She promised him a sizable amount of money when she passed, but didn’t follow through. As the fiduciary of my parents’ estate, I followed their trust directives as written, with no exceptions.
My son received a nice check, but not as large as he had expected. He was upset and blamed me for “taking” his money. Then he declared that we would never see our grandsons again unless he received what his grandmother had promised. He refused to understand the concept of a trustee’s fiduciary duty and has ghosted us, even though I have tried reaching out to him several times.
