(39,150 posts)LaydeeBug. I am so glad you wrested Guardianship from your very greedy-sounding siblings, and I am glad your dad knew you won before he passed. Money can be an awful thing. When my husband's dad died, the wicked witch he had married 6 months after my husband's (Chuck) mom died cheated Chuck out of his share of the estate. Even worse, within 3 days of his death, the Wicked Witch gave away all of Chuck's dad's belongings to some kid who was going to seminary school. He was also the nephew of a wealthy widower & a big shot at the church the Wicked Witch attended. Despicable. When Chuck protested, saying that they were his dad's things & there some items he wanted, the Wicked Witch--right in front of Chuck, his sister, and me--casually remarked, "Well, you were adopted. It's not like you were his real son." Chuck's sister said NOTHING, but I went postal on that POS. That was 17 years ago & Chuck has spoken to his sister twice. She wanted the money, which she got, but she lost her brother. Both times they've spoken, his sister initiated contact. After that betrayal, Chuck never wanted to speak to her again, and he esentially didn't.
Please accept this virtual hug and, again, my deepest condolences. You are a wonderful daughter & a wonderful person.
