[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 593922, member: 1514"] You know how I feel. You can substitute me for L...lol. I think changing your location has helped you see things a whole lot more clearly. Im very glad that you are slowly working on working things out with M. That is going to be a long process and you need to take it slowly after all the pain you have been through with him too. It does sound like he is trying at least. I havent been in your shoes but I sorta feel like my parents rotated me badly. I have told you what my mom attempted to do but I fully believe that my father should have done more for me than he did. I thought he would have to be honest. I was expecting him to have had insurance policies for me and my boys. It really doesnt make sense for a man who was so financially sound to have done so little except to have put a small CD in both of our names. And he wasnt poor. He had a fairly significant estate. Im not talking millions but his house was completely paid for and his current wife was worth close to a quarter million because her mother had left that much money to her when she died and she paid for nothing during the marriage unless she wanted to do something for her kids. My father paid all the household bills. I really had expected him to take out life insurance at least through his work for me and my boys. It makes no sense that he wouldnt have left something for his grandsons...or even leave a will. Thats something that has really bothered me for a long time. I was told there was no will and I cant prove otherwise because he never told me there was. I just assumed there was considering he was married for a second time and there were now grandchildren, step children and great grandchildren in the picture. Personally I think my step-mother may have lied to me and that has made it hard for me to keep in contact with her since my father's death. [/QUOTE]
