Found out I was left out of secret family inheritance

[Teaortea]

I am married with two children. I live in the UK but grew up in a different country where my DM and DB still live.

A few years ago my aunt in my home country (DMs brother's wife) passed away. They had no children.

I found out 6 months ago that at the time my DM and DB (single, no kids) inherited £10,000 each and agreed between them not to tell me.
One one knows why my aunt left me out, possibly dementia? Or not being in the same country?

I felt sick when I found out, both at the fact that they'd conspired together to not tell me and that they didn't share any of the money, especially my DM didn't even send my DCs a little bonus or anything.

I'm not saying I am entitled to any of the money but I am feeling left out of the family and protective of my kids who seem to mean nothing to rhem.
There is a history of my DM treating me badly bordeinf on neglect and abuse when I was younger, favouring my DB but this seems so unbelievable, even for them!

My DH says it's unforgivable the way they've left me out, lied by omission and not even wanted to gift the kids.

Aibu to still feel upset and that they were the unreasonable ones? I have been LC since finding out.

Reposting since people seem not to have noticed these details.

Have I missed something about a Will in OP's posts or are people assuming there was one? In which case there may not have been a Will. OP may not have been entitled to anything either way but she's not wrong in feeling hurt. It's another kick from her family.

You keep saying it’s not about the money it’s about the fact they didn’t tell you that they inherited the money, then you keep saying that if you inherited money you would share it with them!!
so you do sound like you’re not happy because they didn’t share with you!!
Also, what would you have said if they did tell you that they had inherited money??

you’re contradicting yourself!!

So did you see the wills yet? It's crucial that you do to know if your aunt really DID leave the money to your mum or if your mum was named executor and charged with distributing funds and did it wrong because she's not good to you and favours the golden child.

I'm curious to know how much time OP saved by writing DM, DB, DC, etc...
I guess it saved me a lot of time cause I didn't bother reading the rest.

I suggest that you spend the time you saved finding another websites to browse because you're reeeeaaaallly not going to enjoy the rest of MN.

You are not going to find many posts posts you want to read on MN then.
