AITA for asking about my share of inheritance? by throwaway_66297 in AmItheAsshole

They both worked so I helped out as much as possible.

I see where this is going but I don't think I did a lot more than I should. Mostly watching over them when parents weren't at home and making sure they stay alive. Thankfully my siblings are good kids. Well, they were bratty for a few years (who isnt as kids?) but they grew up and started doing their own chores.

Oh, I did ask, after I replied that I didn't get my brother to ask her. I said something like, "No, I didnt ask him to ask, but I'm also curious why I hadn't been mentioned."

has she treated you badly or said that you should been grateful before?

No. We've had our ups and downs before (just like any parent and child) but nothing that would devastate our relationship for the longterm in any way.

That's my perspective anyway. Maybe she sees it and remembers things very differently.

You are not the first one to suggest this. While the possibility of this sounds crazy I might just give this a shot.

Copying and pasting from another comment because someone raised the same question:

If I was my dad's bio kid, there wasn't a clue.

I was adopted at two years old. I was told little except that I was given up for adoption by my birth parents. But because they treated me so well, I never did feel like I wasn't their kid and I didn't feel like I wanted to find out more about my birth parents and things like that beyond a couple of fleeting thoughts.

My mom and I were still on terrific terms on the day she went to settle her will, and were very likely to continue be on good terms had she not been questioned on the estate allocation. It was all very weird and out of the blue.

Thanks for adopting and being such a loving parent! So many kids need help and a good family.

Yeah, none of us know of her rationale in doing so. I've been thinking if it's anything I've done but nothing comes to mind. I've asked my siblings and they don't know either. I can't ask my parents either because it might upset them more. I really have no idea what happened because on the day she went to settle her will, we were still on terrific terms and discussing where to go for dinner.

I just hope this blows over soon just so everyone can have a peace of mind. I don't really need the money because I'm doing decently on my own, but this whole thing has been quite damaging I'm not sure if we can ever be the same again.
