  • Mojisola I'm actually quite upset by what you have said... I did keep in touch with my gran the best I could but you don't actually know where I was, what I was doing, what was happening in my life at the time and whether I was healthy or not... it's best to think before you speak sometimes. If you don't know the whole situation.

    I never expected my gran to leave me anything, my whole point of posting here is that I felt someone had pretended to be a family member and claimed it, which is worrying as it really should have gone to mum.

    It's all very well if you want to give advice but making personal comments about family stuff is not really fair, if you don't know the background.

    If we didn't speak before we knew the whole situation, you wouldn't have got any replies.

    We don't know the whole situation now. All we can do is offer ideas and suggestions.
  • That wasn't an idea or a suggestion, and totally unhelpful.

    Please leave me alone.

    Part of the value of this forum is that it prompts users to think about their own lives and their own excuses for doing things or not doing things.

    It may have been unhelpful for you because it may not have been applicable to your own situation for reasons you may not wish to go into on a public forum. But it is potentially helpful to someone else's situation and remains a good point in a general discussion (which most of these threads turn into).
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Also if it is not applicable to you, then you have no need to get upset.

  • I guess that's fair enough, but I do miss my gran and it's an upsetting situation and made me cry :( you have to be thoughtful when it's about people that are missed... she made me feel like I had been nasty to my gran :(
