"His WIFE'S passing?" There would not have been a "wife" if there had not been parents. Just tell me where in the Ten Commandments it says, "Thou Shall Honor your Son-in-Law?" He has never shown the Shindler family any respect and I suspect that was even before her original collapse. He should have been home with his common law wife and illegitimate children instead of sitting by the death bed of a woman who he has not known for 15 years. Instead he wanted to again, be the focal point of an issue that he should have walked away from many years ago, especially after engaging in a relationship with another woman. A person who lives a self-absorbed life many times causes others to speculate about intentions and motives, causing Michael to be responsible for any accusations cast his way.
