[QUOTE="frustratedmum, post: 648350, member: 18775"] My attorney told me if my daughter turns her life around I could change the will. I do agree with MidwestMom, I think leaving what is there in a trust with an attorney is a good idea. I had talked to my attorney about a potential trust too but my oldest daughter who is top of her class in college right now I know it would be too much for her to be a trustee for my 19 year old who has taken wrong path in life. Our guts know the truth even if we don't want to admit the truth. I realized over the last few weeks that the loss of a child this way is like death; the grieving process like they died - difference is that they are alive and they are doing things that aren't okay they are dangerous to the rest of the family especially us as parents. For me I have reached a point that I need to cut my daughter out of my life complete the grieving process and move on. I need to keep my oldest child and youngest child protected it was a hard decision but when you know that one child will steal for drug use that child needs to go not a healthy situation for any family. Also a hard decision, one that has taken me years. [/QUOTE]
