As I said 'l love them, but! This year I have flown back 3 times at obvious cost ( not a problem, so far) I am the youngest of 4, our mum passed away 7 years ago and our (step) Dad very much respected and considered our Dad , Grandad, Great Grandad to us, our children and children's children. Dad has been in our lives for most of my life, 45 years. However, he is getting very awkward and downright hurtful to us all saying "you mean nothing" "you are not my family" ok, I understand we are not blood bonded. However, he has a nephew, niece, sister-in-law and a great niece in New Zealand who have suddenly come out of the "woodwork" since Mum died, flying over to see him fora few hours twice a year and basically saying they are his "blood relatives" We are all fine financially and expect nothing from our Dad as Mum entered the marriage with only love for him and 4 kids. Aibu in thinking they are being complete hard nosed what can we get freeloading greedy bastards? I am also knackered with having to put my diplomatic skills with the family to full use. Sorry for long post, could have been a bigger rant but finally got some space to myself at home( family home) with a glass of wine. Be gentle ladies
