The mother-in-law’s resentment
The mother of the deceased did not accept the legal resolution. She was convinced that her son, if he had been able, would have left her an important part of his patrimony. She felt that she had been stripped of something that she considered hers by right of blood, even if the legislation did not prove her right.
Civil conversations quickly gave way to constant complaints, accusations and reproaches. The mother-in-law insisted that her daughter-in-law had appropriated everything that, in her view, belonged to the family. The relationship between the two women deteriorated to a point of no return.
