Basically my sister has pretty much bled my parents dry for the whole of her adult life.
She has been very irresponsible with money over the years. More rcently she has got much more sensible and has not got the level of debt she had.
She has depended on them emotionally too, whenever i was over with my parents she would phone at least twice a day.
My mum died last year and in the end my dad sold their home and becuase of various problems with the flat he was buyiong, he has moved in with my sister and her DH and DS.
Now the flat he was buying has probably fallen through and he is thinking about moving in with them long term.
If he does so, then they are talking about all of them buying a house together....and so all of his money will go in the new house. He keeps aplogising and syaing that i obviously won't get an inheritance then..

I don't really mind, i feel blessed that i have been able to stand on my own two feet in the world and have been lucky enough to be able to train to do a great job, my sister has had various diffuculties with school etc and has pretty poorly paid jobs.

but there is alittle bit of me that just thinks- FFS, she has had the lot off them. She really has taken so much money over the years, they did equity release to stop her from going under some years ago... she is so rubbish with money.
i hate3 myself for being angry.
it isn't my money anyway and never was, but she will end up with the bloody lot- how could i force her to sell up after my dad dies and then give me money??
makes me sound like a bitch doesn't it.

Anyway, rant over, have changed my name as i don't like the way I feel

And now poor Miau is talking about being homeless soon. Makes me feel even more crap for being so materialistic.
So glad I changed my name {smile]

I'd be pissed off too. Has your dad not thought of leaving you his share of the house in his will? Then your sister would have the choice of buying you out, or you could let her live there but still have the asset. Or you could sell and each come out of it with some money.

lol I did that earlier on another thread too!

Can't say I blame you for feeling the way you do, I think I'd feel the same! It's not exactly fair is it?
