So my father passed in October, and we had our 2nd child in November. I am taking care of my elderly mother, with no support from my local siblings because they are upset over her will and her power of attorney. I'm sitting here in the lawyers office hoping to get some good news from him over the estate, and with all that being said I just had to pick up a 3rd job because my wife will not be returning back to work at the end of the month. We decided as a family it was more important for her to be at home raising our children, and a little extra work never hurt me before. Put some prayers would help.

Prayers sent. Just got done with a similar situation myself, so stay strong!
 
I've been nearly exactly where you are now. It's tough, stay strong. Make some time for you and the wife.
 
You got 'em Russell. Things will work out I'm sure.
 
Prayers sent. Life really has some tough breaks for us as we pass through. Hoping things improve for your family situation.
 
Prayers for you and your family. God will provide a way.
 
kids, when at all possible, are better off at home with mom. This will work out. Everything else will fall into place as well.
 
You got'em, brother. If He leads you to it, He'll lead you thru it.
 
Knee mail out. Sorry to hear about your father.We just lost pops last October. It's tough. Congrats on the new trike motor.
 
Prayers for you. Lost my dad early in life. Me and my brother did the best we could for mom and always felt it wasn't enough but she always told everyone what great sons she had.
 
Update, we got some pretty good news from the lawyer yesterday, i need to go by the bank on Monday and to the clerk of court but it looks like we wont have any issues over the estate and settling his debts. That being said don't stop praying were not out of the woods yet, but I think we can see the tree line.
As for my wife being a stay at home mom, its truly what we want and it is what we both think is best for our family. We are praying that God's hands are over us in this time of decision making and that his protection is surrounding us. With my mom, she is really missing my father, and that is understandable after 49 years of marriage. We both think that he new his end was near because he talked about it a lot the last 6 months, but that still doesn't make it any easier. She has been having dreams about him and that upsets her, and even though I go out there every day to see her, its just not the same. So if you don't mind please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
 
Prayers up! Glad to hear there's been some good news.

You got them. Your mom appreciates your efforts more than you know. So does your wife, picking up extra work like that. Keep at it.
 
Praying for you and your family. Doing what you think is right is rarely easy. Doing the best you can is all you are called to do. Leave the results to Him. :)
(If we can be of any help, just ask.)
 
Being the good son is not always easy. But blessings to you for stepping up.
We are caring for my 79 year old mother. Not easy some times because she still has a clear head but doesn't accept that she can't live on her own anymore.

Be well. I hope all works out and your siblings come to their senses.
 
Well today was a good day we got one of the accounts completely settled and satisfied. But the sibling drama isnt over and it probably never will be because of how they feel. But I'm sure at some point in time their actions will haunt them, I'm still hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

Prayers to your family.
When my father died, my step mother had the nerve to tell my wife that we were all just waiting for her to die so we could get his estate. The really upset my wife. But we all understood that this woman was never playing with a full deck and that the outburst was part of her coping mechanism. We never held it against her and she soon apologized.
A friend of mine had a situation that might have been a similar to yours. Differences probably only in the magnitude of the estate. My friend was always close to his grandparents. He remained close not to ensure he was in the will but because he genuinely loved them. He had many cousins who only saw dollar signs. And they were all in for a rude awaking when the will was read.
In a way it was probably similar to will reading at the end of Grand Torino minus the language. :D

Be well. In the end, those with the less than pure motives get what is coming to them. Those with love in their hearts get unexpected blessings.

Thanks,I really appreciate it. I would be telling a lie if I said things have been easy. I am working 2 jobs so the wife can stay at home, along with taking care of my mom. But I find peace, hope, and strength in knowing that if he brings us to it he will being us through it.
 
Amen; with that attitude, the battle is halfway won, just stay the course. Good man, stay strong ! You'll look back at this and see His Hand all over this situation.
