Truth of life: whom to trust?

I can understand this, really even if i am not yet married myself. But then the experience of my family speaks for itself in this case. My Mother got cheated on by my father and whatever my dad and mom shared in the bank was, well zeroed. My father withdrew everything and nothing was left for my mom, and basically for us, his family. I guess this is why blood still is thicker than water, and even though you are a family when you married someone, you still should not really trust your partners 100 percent as we know there is still that ounce of possibility that they will fail us at some point. As for the sons, and daughters... i guess naturally parents would want to secure the future of their sons and daughters, especially if they know someting about their partner that their childrens were not made aware of.

That's the mystery of life, we can never tell who will be trusted. Maybe, the hubby of that woman has a dispute concern about the money matters. We can not scrutinize them or judge the people concern, since there are some reasons why.

It's partly trust and love. Anyone can re-marry again, but a child will remain a child no matter what. No matter how much I love my partner and trusted him my life- I am sure he will understand if I will transfer all my assets to my daughter and other kids. The fact that my partner can re-marry again and maybe the next woman won't take my kids as hers is a mother's greatest fear. So, it is the best thing to give the assets to kids/children than to the husband.

I'm sure the mother had reasons why she gave her money to her son instead of her husband. The only reason I could think of is that the son is still young and has so much ahead of him, compared to the father who's also nearing his peak. Chances are, he'll only be giving the money to someone, which will end up to the son again. I think both the mother and the father have agreed to give the money to the son so that he can make use of it as early as possible.

Well, I think the reason behind it is the dying parent would want to give security for the future of her children. It is not about not trusting the husband. It is just like giving their kids what she has saved up for their future. I remember my mom saying me one time, "if anything happens, this is where I have left the so and so."

maybe they thought their partner would remarry so they dont want their kids to be left out with nothing.a lot of things happening that when the partner remarry the second wife or husband takes over everything and leave nothing to the original kids.so maybe thats their fear.
