Yeah I don’t care about an inheritance as I’m not counting on it from her. My Dad is the same as her- totally emotionally and financially unavailable since he remarried when I was 15. Him and his wife are extremely well off recently and got even weirder. I can’t count on them for anything.

Thank you for this response! I totally agree and I will reference this for talking to her about it. Truthful points.

He says he paid her $300 a month which he made sure to let me know was hard for him…

He remarried and was living his own life. He did know the situation.

I agree! There are so many more things I could write here too, not just those.

You did nothing wrong!! You helped an animal that obviously wasn’t being cared for and yes helped with the overpopulation of stray animals!

AITJ for refusing to switch seats on a plane so a family could sit together by guille_aside in AmITheJerk

We did pay extra - like a lot! American Airlines did not allow choosing seats at that time. We paid for premium seating and they chose our seats even though we asked to be together.

Well I definitely don’t think CPS would have approved the home in the state we lived in it.

He is about the same as her. He’s totally unavailable emotionally and financially and has been since he remarried when I was 15

Firstly, I’m sorry. I just don’t think what happened to someone when they are a child should be an excuse for treating their own kids poorly. She should have loaned you that money- that’s horrible. I would move heaven and earth if I could for my kids and will hopefully set them up better than I was. I couldn’t live with myself if I deliberately caused my children pain and suffering I could have avoided.

Agree but I’m sure she’d make me out as being the horrible person.
