She Wants To Exclude Her Son From Both Her Life Insurance And Her Will Because He Disowned Her And They Have No Relationship

Have you ever lost touch with a family member who still expected you to show up for them and do them favors even though they hardly talk to you?
One woman has found herself in a whirlwind of drama with her son, who is angry with her for not giving him her veteran benefits and potentially taking him off her life insurance plan even though he never contacts her.
She’s 44-years-old and has three children, ages 25 to 17. She’s also been serving in the Army for 18 years.
Her relationship with her 23-year-old son hasn’t been in great shape, especially after he got mad at her for not transferring her GI BILL money to him.
“Those unfamiliar with the military, service members are able to transfer their education benefits to their spouse or children after serving a certain amount of time,” she explained.
“However, I accidentally exhausted my GI BILL.”
One of the reasons her GI BILL didn’t go to her children was because two of her children showed no interest in going to college, and her son always had poor grades. Then, once her son graduated from high school, he moved out of her house and cut off most of his contact with her.
“As a parent, I hope I am not the only one to say my son and I just did not get along and could never seem to connect as he got older, and [things] got worse the older he got,” she said.
“About two years of him going no-contact, he messaged me not to ask how we were doing or anything, but [went] straight to the point that it’s my fault that he no longer qualifies for grants due to our incomes combined, and [he asked] why I did not transfer my GI BILL to him.”

When she informed her son that she had exhausted her GI BILL, but he could speak to a recruiter, he told her she should’ve set aside a certain amount of money for his college tuition every month. Then, she told him she was entitled and didn’t owe him anything since he moved out and wouldn’t speak to her.
After that conversation, her son stopped speaking to her again. Then, a year later, he called her again to scold her and ask why she had exhausted her GI BILL and got angry with her for not having any college money for him.
“Before I joined the army, I was a single parent [after] having my first child at 17, living in poverty, [and] making less than 11,000 a year,” she recalled.
“I joined the Army at 25 [and] paying for college tuition out of pocket was never an option. I did the best I could as a parent, and I know I would never win ‘Mother of the Year.’ In both conversations, I did apologize for the mistakes I made along the way.”
At the end of their conversation, her son had an outburst and told her he did not view her as a mother and blocked all contact with her. Now, after her son has made it clear he wants nothing to do with her, she’s considering excluding him from her life insurance and will.
Would she be wrong to do that, or is that on her son?
