Well, had the family been a little less vindictive and had they helped perpetuate so many hideous accusations and outright lies, he probably would have allowed them to be there...

No, they made their bed back when the settlement was received and they wanted their share.

That being said, Terri didn't deserve to be used in a tug-o-war by her family or by Michael.

The breakdown of family values in this country is sad.

As I understand it, after tearfully testifying that he needed the money for her rehabilitation, the husband did not spend the awarded funds for rehab. That's when the parents stepped in wanting to control/divert monies for services that may have given her a better quality of life.

There is a smokey back room for you to unload crap about her family. Use it.

I just can not believe you. If I get banned over this so be it. You are being an insensitive ghoul. Please, for the love of decency and respect for those who are grieving, restrain yourself. Most will think better of you for it.

I believe that the only "share" they wanted of the settlement was for Michael to pay them back some money that was owed to them for medical costs for Terri's care that they had paid prior to the medical cost settlement. Nothing more. He refused even after he had plenty of money to do so.

Chad, I still can't believe you're holding this guy up as some/any kind of husband...he's not. Would your wife consider you a husband under these same circumstances? Would you?
