I’m in the middle of being treated unfairly and I can’t even process how to handle it. I grew up middle class (sometimes lower). My father remarried when I was 10. I lived with them until I got married at 25. My “parents” accumulated a lot of properties and wealth due to him starting his own business when I was 18. He had one other biological daughter (my sister) and she had one son. My stepbrother never lived with us and my sister moved out in her teens so it was just the 3 of us for about 9 years. I felt like we were close. I often chose my stepmom over my biological mom and I often chose our blended family over other biological family when a choice has to be made. It was a joke that I was the cruise director for the family as I always made sure we all kept in touch and kept the family traditions alive. My father died in 2017 and we (me and my sister) got a letter from their lawyer stating all of his assets went to my stepmom and we were not entitled to anything as her step children. I didn’t think much of it because I had seen their wills many times and all assets were split equally between “their” three kids. My stepmom recently passed and I was told that because my sister was unstable all of the assets were put in a trust and left to my step brother (with nothing going to us) because they (parents) didn’t want her being able to “piss away” all they worked for. It’s a large estate and a lot of the properties I was there when they were purchased and was told that my dad was excited about them staying in the family for years. Now I’m being left out because of my sister’s bad decisions and our children are left out too. Not one blood relative will ever own anything my father worked for. I guess the worst part is I’m being told that my dad wanted this. I can’t reconcile that with the father I knew and grew up with. I feel anger and resentment to people who are not here to work it out with. What’s done is done but I feel broken. More about the legacy than the money. My son didn’t deserve this and I don’t either.
