Adult children accepting widow dating

Remember that we are the largest free online dating service, so you will never have to pay a dime to meet your soulmate.I have been on many of the Forums about widows/widowers.......skimmed thru to see if this was addressed.

Thankfully, adult children and stepparents do not have the same power battles that younger stepfamilies experience because the stepparent is not trying to get the children to pick up their socks or choose better friends.

The latest post at Abel Keogh’s Running Forward Widower Wednesday talks about pre-nups, wills and adult kids who can’t wrap their minds around the idea that their parents’ “wealth” belongs to their parents and not them. People who were fine with idea of remarriage but adamant that their late spouse’s hard-earned this or that would never, ever, ever benefit in any way, shape or form the next spouse or, goddess in heaven forbid, his/her worthless children. What happens, or is accumulated on earth, stays on earth.

A whole lot of assumption but basically stemming from the odd notion that what your late spouse might have left you in the form of life insurance, marital home or other valuables is somehow still his or hers. Furthermore, it becomes the property of someone else, who is now free to do whatever the hell they want with it. I have seldom witnessed someone inherit from a parent or grandparent and not piss the money away like trailer trash with a Power Ball jackpot. And because I was completely stunned that anyone would ask such a question at such a time, I told her. It wasn’t until much later – after mother-in-law absconded with money from the memorial that was meant to help cover the expense of it – that I realized the inquiry about life insurance was about calculating her cut.

But adult stepchildren and older stepparents still have many emotional issues to work through, feel threatened by each other, and struggle with how the new marriage will impact familiar family relationships. The New Couple When Daniel’s 35 year-old son told him that he “just wanted him to be happy” the widower assumed his son was giving him permission to remarry. What the son meant was, “I would hope that mom’s memory will keep you happy enough.” Daniel assumed he had his son’s blessing and got married.

His son’s withdraw from contact alerted him to the problem at hand.
