My father's second wife, my step-mother, passed away in 2012 at the age of only 59 due to a fast-moving cancer. My father died in 2018; due to the fact that my step-mother's death had left him widowed, his Social Security benefits reverted to my mother.
But according to reports from my brother J., my mother has been nothing short of gleeful about this turn of events. Due to her overspending, she's depleted much of the $2 million or so left to her by her second husband, so she can use the money -- but isn't exactly in dire straits. But she has reacted to this windfall as an opportunity to "spike the ball" in a celebratory way, essentially taking the position that she "won."
