My husband died almost 4 years ago. We were married for 33 years; he was sick for 13. Before he died, John asked his son to look after his wife (me). His son was going to help me start a business, move me down closer to where they live, etc. He has dumped me. I didn't figure this out until a year after my John died. Is stuff like this normal when dealing with stepchildren? My mother always told me that John's son was a snake; she didn't much care for him.
