I wouldn't worry to much about it now. I was worried my GS was taking to long to start talking, once he started, he hasn't stopped. Excuse me now, I have to go fix him an omelet, he's hungry.

Does that piss you off?

Was he a good/present father to you?

That would annoy the hell out of me.

He's been great. Brothers are great. He makes it a point to still come out, help me with the house, get beers. I go there once a week for dinner.

But stepmom sucks. All step moms suck. I think he knows shes insane, but he's 67, what can you do?

True story: I bagged one of her bridesmaids on BOTH of her weddings (cause of course she got two wedding parties). I was 19 at the time. And she was SOOOO pissed.

How old is she?

Has your father shared his wishes for his estate with you? Who's his executor? Worry about "stepmom" trying to screw you over?

Do you have "full" siblings from his marriage to your mother? If so, how do they feel about things/stepmom?

(I'm facing somewhat similar circumstances, but no kids from "followup" relationship... don't trust the ***** at all. And if they did have kids (they won't), I sure as hell wouldn't consider them my "brother" or "sister".)

Thanks.

She just turned 40. My Dad has unfortunately given pretty much anything and everything to his new wife and kids. But honestly, I really don't care about the financials, I just want to make sure she doesn't drive him into the ground and that I can have the majority of his keepsakes.

Also, I still have my mom's inheritance and an uncle's inheritance that will go 100% to me (no other siblings from first marriage). Plus a Medmal that will finish up in a year. I don't need my dad's money, and I'm totally fine with my share going to my brother's.

The thing is, you can't take it out on the siblings, if you even end up with them. I'm a spiteful and cold person.. but even I can't let their wacko mom come between us.. because they will spend the majority of their life without a Dad.. my Dad.. and not much money (He's retired and stepmom just decided to get a big girl job as a teacher). Sadly, they will need me.
