"Your husband's inheritance? Let's start there. Unless your late father-in-law specifically left your husband money in his will or in a trust and his mother took it and spent it, it wasn't his inheritance. It was hers."
"Nowhere in your letter do you express any sympathy or empathy for what your mother-in-law has gone through. She was widowed young, finished raising her family, and decided to focus on that rather than continuing to work."
"My guess is that she's living just at or beyond her means, on her late husband's Social Security and maybe some disability insurance she had. It's hardly a lavish lifestyle, no matter how many Stanley cups you buy."
"She complains about her life because it's hard to be widowed, raise a family as a single parent, and manage finances on a limited income. It's a struggle that might not be visible from the outside."
