My new wife wanted me to spend my late wife’s kids’ money on her daughters, but I had a better idea.
After my wife Edith died, she left a trust fund for our daughters’ future. I remarried Gaby, who has two daughters, and treated them kindly. But Gaby demanded I use Edith’s money for her girls, insisting we’re one family. I refused—Edith’s legacy was for our daughters’ college and life, not to be redistributed. Gaby accused me of favoring my kids, but I stood firm, setting up a separate fund for her daughters using our shared income instead. She was furious, calling it
unfair, and our marriage grew tense with cold silences and arguments. Months later, watching all four girls play, Gaby still resented my decision, but I held my ground. Edith’s wishes were non-negotiable, and I’d never let Gaby control me. Protecting my daughters’ future and honoring their mother’s memory was my priority, even if it strained our marriage. Inspired by true events, this story is fictionalized with altered names and details for privacy and creativity.
