[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 656511, member: 18516"] Yes, you can be blindsided with betrayal. I had this happen with my sister. She had lived with our dad for 10 years after our mom passed away. She was there mainly to "be there" for him as he did not require any care, he was very capable and had a housekeeper to come in to clean. She lived there rent free and was able to attend school and work part time. I was very close with my sister, we talked everyday even though we lived in different states. I was also very close with my dad and he shared with me over the years his concerns about sister and how she liked to spend money. He had helped her out financially a few different times. Before he passed away he had updated his will to put everything into a trust for me and my sisters with an equal split. A few months before he passed I had a conversation with my sister about what her plans were when our dad was gone. She told me that she would probably move to the state where her daughter lives. She knew the day would come. A few days after my dad passed she called me in a panic, crying, telling me she was now homeless and that she felt me and the other sisters should give her our dad's house. In all the years she had never expressed any concern about this and to tell me only months before that she had a plan to move, I was dumbfounded. We did not give her the house as that was not our dad's wishes and from there on out she became very distant. I truly felt betrayed by her as I specifically asked her what her plans were. I was concerned about her and where she was going to go. Of course I'm sure she felt betrayed by me because I didn't agree with her and convince the other sisters to go along. It's taken years to work through my feelings but I have. We will never be close like we once were but after processing everything I don't think we were as close as I thought or she would have been more open with me. Life lessons................ [/QUOTE]
