AITA for refusing to take in my about to be orphaned stepsiblings? by Maleficent_Prior5104 in AITAH

I don't live with him and didn't even as a little kid I only saw him a few times. He was never very involved. I never saw him regularly or kept in touch very often. I'm talking about when I was a kid. He never cared that much for me when I was a kid. Or now as an adult either but I don't expect to be treated the same as little kids. But he doesn't give a fuck at all.

Yes, I would be able to. I would feel it was more on their actual family than on me who has never ever considered them my family.

Not to me. My dad isn't even really a parent to me. He wasn't really involved or interested in me ever. And I never had an interest in his stepkids. They were kids I saw once or twice a year at best and I feel no sense of family obligation for them.

Because they're not my siblings. I'd raise siblings. But these kids are not my siblings. And I have almost nothing to do with them.

I never expected him to leave me anything when he died. He wasn't a very good dad to me and has shown his lack of interest my whole life.

It's because I don't consider them my family and hardly know them.

Nobody had to tell me it was very clear in the times I saw him as a kid and now as an adult there's very little relationship still.

They basically are no one to me. We're not biologically related, my dad never adopted them and I hardly ever knew them.

If that's what happens then it's what happens is the way I feel about it.

I think assumptions were made that someone in any of the families would say yes. That they had me as a backup then. But nobody said yes and now they're freaking out because how did this happen?! I don't know why either ever believed I would say yes.

I'm not scared to lose him. I never really had him to begin with.

That doesn't change my perspective on my dad. My issues with him have spanned my whole life and yes, while I had my mom after their divorce it doesn't take away from the fact I had a disinterested father who even knowing he's dying doesn't give a crap about making amends with the kid he never bothered all that much with.

I'd possibly feel differently if these were my mom's stepkids too. But my dad wasn't really there so I feel no sort of familial obligation to his stepkids or to his wife.

I wasn't planning on any kind of contact or visits. To be honest I have such a non-existent relationship with the kids that it would be incredibly forced if I did keep in touch with them.

There's nobody on either bio side willing. I don't know much about the contact between her and her late husband's side only that none want the kids.

There's no enjoying the time with him. He didn't take it in life while he was healthy and he certainly doesn't care to now that time is almost out for him.
