My Mom Cut Me Out Of Her Will
There are always two sides to every story. We may not know the harsh truth if we don’t ask direct and honest questions from primary sources.
Part V
My name is Laura, and I live in Burlington, Vt. The area Senator Bernie Sanders has represented for about three dozen years.
I heard a little truth from JB. I’m sure Grandma’s estate is mine, and I will make it bigger than she left. I don’t know why she willed her estate to me, but I will ask her direct questions when I visit her next week. Maybe our conversation will give me the window into why my mom cut me out of her will. I plan to spend a few days with her before returning to Vermont.
My mom cut me out of her will, and when I heard it, I was so disappointed. Why? Because her action made me revisit my painful childhood experience — failed adoption and how she and her husband treated me.
