Dear Abby: Helping my kids pay bills after ex-wife’s death angers girlfriend
Dear Abby: When my ex-wife died recently, she left our two children (in their 20s and 30s) a home that was in her name. My son has a good job; my daughter works periodically as a model. Losing her devastated both of them. The home she left them is not only in bad shape but also needs repairs and zoning and permitting updates.
