When my Mother died a year ago yesterday, I had some contact with estranged family members. I'll play the deranged part. My older brother, whom I hadn't spoke with in more than a decade, was the executor and he lived in B.C. He closed all that needed to be and took the money and ran. Well, no, he rode! Nice new Beemer motorcycle and a couple more "high-end" hand guns! Before we could get this to court, he died Sept 30th(61yrs). So, my oldest brother and I got some family mementos but not much else. Brother who died had already scooped the cash and the good stuff(over the years)!
His widow can.......I'm too polite! His first wife(my real sister-in-law)and my niece from that marriage(also in B.C.)contacted me when they found out he had terminal cancer and about 1 month to live. I hadn't really talked with them much either because of what my brother had done to me. You have to remember that for 40+ years my brother was my lifelong hero! He gave up on all stimulants about 15 years ago, found God and turned evil! I know his second wife put things in his head that were "out and out" lies, but contained just enough of the truth to make them believable, to him anyhow!

Starting to ramble.....sorry!

They want back in my life and I'm not sure!
