Dad refuses to give late son's college fund to his ex-wife's stepson, travels to Belgium to drink beer instead: 'My ex says I'm wasting thousands of dollars'

When somebody close to you passes away, there are so many little things you have to do that you never would've expected. It's not enough that you're majorly grieving the loss of someone that you love with all your heart, but you also have to cancel their credit cards, nix all of their subscriptions, and figure out what to do with their things. Funeral arrangements are a common stressor, but people don't talk enough about how hard it is to wrap up someone's life in ways that aren't explicitly in their wills.

There's nothing worse than losing a child, and a Canadian father recently went through that when his son was struck and killed by a drunk driver. His son was planning to go to McGill University next year, and he decided to use the money from his college fund to take a dream trip to Europe in his son's honor. His ex-wife had other ideas about how to use that money "better."
