I Refused to Share My Son’s Inheritance — Am I a “Bad Mother”?

Money often becomes a reason of conflict in families, and the tension can be even greater in blended households.

Harper found herself in a challenging situation when her eldest son, from a previous marriage, was set to inherit a substantial sum from his late father.

She decided to share her story and seek advice on how to navigate this sensitive issue.

This is Harper’s letter:

My ex passed away and left our 15-year-old son $300k, which I’ll manage until he’s 18.

I also have another son, 12, from my second marriage, and my husband wants to use some of that money for our other son’s education.

I refused. He said, “What kind of mother are you?

You protect the rich kid and turn your back on the poor kid!” I stayed silent.
