'Uncle John was quite upset': Entitled Uncle discovers the inheritance from his mother was left to his 18-year-old nephew while the rest was donated to charity

There is nothing like inheritance to break a family apart. In theory, when we lose an older relative in the family, such as a matriarch, everyone gathers together to collectively grieve, reminisce, and share their feelings. Ideally, this is an important step in the healing process as all family members have the opportunity to properly say their goodbyes. Unfortunately, not every gathering following the loss of a loved one ends up being that successful.

In this instance, we have a matriarch who felt ever so slightly differently about one of her sons compared to the rest of the family, and when you read the full details, you'll understand why. By the end of her life, the elderly woman confided in her 18-year-old grandson, who shared this story online, that she would be leaving him some money. What she also revealed was that Uncle John's portion of the inheritance was being redirected elsewhere. The author kept this a secret until the very end, and let's just say that Uncle John was not too happy to discover that he was purposely left out. That has to sting, but it certainly wasn't the 18-year-old's fault! He was right to stay out of that fray!

It's worth acknowledging that Uncle John was the black sheep of the family, and it sounds like maybe he should have seen this coming. After all, he didn't have a close relationship with his mother by the end, and his behavior following the loss of her made it seem like he was only resurfacing to find out about where the money was going. That's how you know grandma made the right decision!
