Lol and all it took for a better relationship and not to be huffy or pissed of was for her to give you money. Not sure the follow up paints you in the best light really. Should have left us hanging.OP here! As a previous poster said, I was coming across huffy and I agree. I was really pissed off I’m honest. Yes, my mum did need the money for retirement and it was hers to do with what she wanted, but she has since figured out that she can live quite comfortably on her state pension and has since discovered (not sure how she didn’t know before) that she has a work pension. So when her and her husband retire, with his pensions and hers they’re almost as well off as they are now and don’t have a mortgage to pay off.
I had the most upfront, honest conversation with her recently regarding money and she ended up gifting me a small amount, for which I’m extremely grateful. I don’t feel huffy or pissed off with her anymore and we have a better relationship now
There was a lot more to our conversations than what I’m willing to put on a forum. So whether it paints me in a good light or not I couldn’t care less.Lol and all it took for a better relationship and not to be huffy or pissed of was for her to give you money.

You sound horrible and very immature. You've stopped huffing with her now she's handed over some money. I hope she sees through you and your grabby behaviour and spends the money before you go begging for money again when her will is read out.OP here!

I hope your doing ok them conversations will always begin about something in particular but are often through other issues too and once one aspect is spoken about the others don’t seem to hold such a tight grip anymore. Well done for speaking because when relationships are tricky that isn’t easy. Take careAs I said above, there was a lot more to our conversations than I’m willing to post online.
Our relationship problems go a lot deeper than money and we’ve started to sort them out. She’s also entered counselling for her own issues and I’m really proud of her.
If I hadn’t spoken to her about the money, amongst other things, then it’s very unlikely we would have have been able to start addressing important aspects of our relationship.
My estranged dad died and I wasn’t told about it. When I found out via social media, I reached out to his wife to offer my condolences and to speak to her and I was ignored. Obviously my dad and I had a strange relationship but I do feel like she thought I was trying to claim his estate and that’s why she ignored meMy father died a few years ago, I've just been awarded his life insurance, I am technically his only child but I have 5 siblings through my mum and I have split the money between all of us. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't?!
Wow! He expected you two to be left with nothing?After my father died by brother had an argument with the solicitor. He claimed by being the eldest he should have everything despite the solicitor telling him that wasn't to be the case. He even tried going to the Police saying he was being cheated out of money. That was 23 years ago and he still doesn't speak to me or my younger brother. We don't miss him.
