My In-Laws Want My Husband’s Money—Now I Need to Protect My Kids

24

My mother-in-law’s been telling everyone that I’m hoarding money while the rest of the family suffers. Some relatives have stopped speaking to me altogether.

Now I find myself wondering: what’s next?

Could they take legal action?

Will they keep pushing, or keep using my kids to guilt me? Will this ever stop?

All I want is to protect what my husband left behind for our children.

But sometimes I wonder—does that make me the bad guy?
