Oh sure, everything is so much more complicated than just the money. Buts it’s also about seeing that document that says she’s not getting any money.

When one child has a loving, supportive side hustling partner, and one child has a deadbeat dad, what do you do? Some children need more support than others. Equity and equality are not the same things. Most parents I know do not treat their children equally, because that’s impossible and robotic. She has been giving one sister more love and support, and getting more from that sister in return. They moved to be closer to you and you say you stopped asking her for any of her help. It sounds like there’s been a lot of back and forth and that you have been a part of that.

Despite your opinions, my opinions, anyones opinions, mom is allowed to do what she wants with her estate.

Pretend mom has no money to give, are you still not sure you “can be around her,” after all that was said? I mean you went from “we all leaned on each other” and it was the best of times, to you not caring about them…to being pissed she isn’t giving your any inheritance. Therapy is a good idea for you.
