The office manager for my financial adviser had the main office cancel the check and told me to just tear it up if it ever comes. Then she did some research and said that the home office said they could transfer $2000 from my beneficiary IRA to my Roth IRA and then do a direct deposit to my bank from there. Said it would be in my account by tomorrow.

Mail came a bit early and the check arrived...

I've actually pretty much gotten over the hurt and insulted feeling. I'm still kind of mad but what the heck, I'd rather take the high road and not lower myself to fight over this. During one of my conversations with my wife it came to me that my step son said he did appreciate the things I have done for him and the family since they moved in. But it dawned on me that he may appreciate it but he doesn't value it because I don't make a living doing those things. I mean if I were an electrician or did construction and said I could install his oven and save him hiring someone I think he might have seen the value in that more than me just being a guy who is knowledgeable and volunteers to help.
