How to deal with anger over unfair split of assets


Flag as Inappropriate

My father recently informed me that he was putting his home in my brother and sisters names only. There are seven living siblings. They both live with the man rent free. They will pay the taxes and monthly living exspenses only if my fathers social security checks won't stretch. I feel that they are taking advantage of my father by living in his home rent free. I am also angry that he would leave all his assets to only the two of them. I helped care for my mother who recently died of cancer for the last two years of her life. I paid for her funeral exspenses except for $800.00 that didn't come from either of them. I work full time, attend college online and have a family of my own. I did all of this while going to my parents home twice a day to give medications and help her with her daily bathing needs. I am angry at all of them and hurt beyond words. I would greatly apperciate any advice.

Hi LL,

(((HUGS))) I'm so very sorry that you are going through so much pain and anguish over this. It does seem inherently unfair! Have you had a heart-to-heart with your father about this, about it's not that you're looking for recompense for caring for your mom, but just that you would like some acknowledgment that you're his child, too?

Please do let us know how you are doing - we're here to listen. :)

If they are living with your father rent free why are they not caring for him.  Step out of the picture and feel no guilt for doing so.  If they do not pick up the slack his anger will turn on them too.  You must take care of yourself or you can take care of no one else.
