Thumbs up What would you do if you were in that position?

A family is one thing beyond our control, no one chooses the family in which they are to be born in. So many kids especially nowadays are born out of wedlock due to early pregnancy and other an avoidable circumstances.But what happens when you born out of wedlock and your mum ends up getting married to a son of a billionaire.

Your whole life you grow up knowing the father to your step dad is your grandfather. He presumes the position and act like the grandfather every one would wish for.

One day you wake up to find that your mum and the millionaire son cannot stand each other and are on the verge of divorce. Your grandfather who you loved like a grandfather is quick to send you a letter of acknowledging you of your status with his family and during that short conversion he denounces you as a grandchild.

The person you have known as a grandfather and has taken care of you is a millionaire and yet you can barely afford health insurance how would you feel?

I would feel bad, naturally. "Betrayed" is the word that comes to mind. If the person has done nothing wrong to deserve the grandfather's anger, it hurts to be suddenly disowned like that, for no reason at all, by someone you loved. It does not even matter whether the grandpa a millionaire or not.

May I ask whether this is a true story?

That would be an upsetting situation in which to find yourself.

I'd also be curious to know if it happens to be based on a true predicament, and at the same time it reminds me of family relations that I know of, without the great riches involved.

Many people struggle to make the best lives they can without a great deal of money.

Geez what an unfortunate turn of events. I would be so depressed about this stuff and wish I wasn't born. It's not like it's the kid's fault so no one deserves to be treated like that. It's like being deprived on something of which he/she shouldn't.

Of course I will feel upset if I was on his shoes...

And I think it will put in my mind that everything what my grandfather did was only a show and not a real thing...

Yes, I have thought about that as well. If it was real love, it would not be affected. The grandfather would still love the kid, who did nothing wrong. So was it all fake from the start?

It would be still hard for the boy to be thinking about those stuffs. It shouldn't be his concern as a kid. A kid should be playing and enjoying his youth not like this.

Reira raises an interesting point about young children having to process unfortunate conditions like this.

I wonder if it would be easier or harder for a young child to let go of the attachment, than for an adolescent?

Accept what the "grandfather" is doing and find my own way in life, that is what I would do.

I know this is hard to a child, but to wish to have this grandfather back, would not help a child out.

Otherwise, if there was real love from the grandfather, he would not stop sharing the life with the child. So, I believe, he simply want to get out of a positin, where people might misuse him as a paying goose.

It definitely sounds like a harsh action taken by the grandfather in this case.

I think hopefully there would have been clues that he wasn't all that concerned about the grandchild in the past - I think that would make it perhaps easier to deal with.
