There was a update i forgot to include! - *****New Update Post: (8.5 months later)***** Hello everyone, It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, a lot has happened and truth be told I haven’t had the time to post an update here, but I finally have a quiet moment to give you an update. First, I want to thank everyone here for helping me at such a pivotal time in my life. After re-reading my original threads, I can’t believe how indecisive and weak I came off in them. The prospect of my marriage ending and dying alone really kind of shook me to my core, and thus made me come off that way. I started therapy and it made me realize that being single wasn’t the worst thing that could happen to me, in fact I’ve turned my loneliness into solitude and have taken the time to work on myself. And if that last sentence didn’t tip you off, then let me be the first to tell you that I’m single now. Me and Andrea are legally separated and currently in divorce mediation. Unfortunately Andrea is still very much in denial and is trying everything she can to get me back, including delaying the divorce as much as possible so that we can work on our marriage. She claims that she’s begun seeing a therapist who’s helped her see the problem she has and has gotten her on the path to recovery. I don’t know if I buy it, but I told her it’s a good thing if it’s true. She has also apologized to my parents, hers and her late husband’s parents for what she’s done and offered to pay back the money, they’ve all forgiven her, but are keeping her at an arms length. She’s been desperate to reconnect with Cassie, but Cassie has kept her word and decided to never speak to her mother again, or at least until she’s ready to. Andreas wealthy friends she was so desperate to impress have been around our house offering their help. They may be nosy busy bodies, but they were very nice to me and Cassie in the immediate aftermath of Andrea’s betrayal. They offered everything from a shoulder to cry on, to baked goods to spa dates. I only ever really took them up on the baked goods because I will never turn down homemade lemon bars and oatmeal raisin cookies. Cassie did take them up on spa dates, so there’s that. One woman in particular, Susan has been around more often than the others. While I feel like the other friends were prying for information, she seemed more genuine and just there to help me and Cassie heal. She cooked meals for us, helped around the house and just spent a lot of quality time with me in particular. We didn’t ask, want or need her to do any of this for us, but she did it out of the kindness of her heart and I really appreciate it. We’ve gotten a lot closer in such a short time, and I truly consider her a friend. It’s actually amazing I could get along with someone who’s so much younger than me(14 years) usually I have a hard time connecting with younger people, even if they’re adults. But now we get to the most important part of this update: Cassie. As a cheer up Christmas gift I took her and one of her friends to Montreal last month to see her favorite artist Billie Eilish at this festival. She loved it, and Montreal is such a beautiful city to visit. All in all, she took the loss of her college fund pretty well. Cassie is a very hard working person, and she put her nose to the grindstone trying to find a scholarship. Unfortunately she missed the cutoff for most of the scholarships she could have qualified for, but the school of her choice is giving her a very generous financial aid package. In addition, she qualified for some local grants so she got her entire first year covered. And yes, Cassie did thankfully get into her school of choice, in fact she had many acceptance letters and full ride offers but she had her heart set on her school of choice. In fact, I dropped her off last week I’m extremely proud of her and I know she’ll do well. I’m an empty nester now all alone in this big house, and the silence is deafening, but Susan has been around to keep me company and I’ve taken up bike riding as a hobby. So all in all, things are okay, not great, but certainly better than before. And with that, I think I can put this saga to bed, the divorce will hopefully be finalized in the next few months and I can finally move on with my life. But the most important thing is that Cassie is fulfilling her dreams and potential and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Story 1: I would tell the dad to keep his inheritance for the son he raised. He used that against OP once, and I would never let him have the opportunity to do it again. So what he apologized? His pride is why he never contacted the son he STEADILY did wrong. This man lacks any follow through, integrity, etc. If he had raised his son properly, then this wouldn't have happened.

[@kumikor3392]

Story 2: I love that OP defended her, and is willing to sacrifice his retirement for his daughter. I can see why Cassie loves him more than her mom. He believes in her. He should still divorce.

Well yeah of course they aren't he raised him , lived with him all his life of course he'd love him more then op

[@Arkryal]

I agree. OP's dad failed as a father, but not for the reasons you suggest. One son (OP) can stand on his own, the other (Justin) is weak, and wouldn't survive the day without his parent's money to throw around. A Father's job is to prepare their kids for the world, the good and the bad. He only succeeded in OP's case by staying away. Had they been raised as equals, there would be two useless, weak children. OP may appreciate any inheritance, but he doesn't need it. He'll live a good life with or without it. Anything Justin gets, he'll blow through in a year or less, he'll end up broke, and absolutely helpless to re-establish himself without his parent's money or nepotism. But I have a sneaking suspicion the father knows this. Why else would he force a relationship between them? He knows OP will ultimately need to take care of his brother, manage his finances, bail him out of trouble. He has two sons, one responsible, the other... not so much. I think he was hoping OP might form a bond with his brother and perhaps become the custodian of his trust-fund one day. I know a lot of wealthy people, and this is often how it plays out. The most responsible child inherits their share and the rest is left to a legal trust to be paid out at fixed intervals so the irresponsible children don't blow through it too quickly. But someone needs to manage it, pay taxes on their home, make sure they don't get scammed into a bad investment, etc. The trust could be overseen by a simple legal framework, but appointing a family member as custodian gives a lot more flexibility. With large inheritances, this is almost standard practice, but he needs to know OP truly has his brother's best interests at heart before making that decision. Returning to the U.S. might even be a part of that plan, as the U.S. has a more favorable system for that, but they all need to be naturalized citizens. OP's dad might not be father of the year, but I don't get the sense he's an idiot either. You don't become wealthy or maintain inherited wealth for very long if you don't know how to use the system to your advantage, and these moves are all predictable from a financial and inheritance standpoint. His actions may not have been in the best interests of familial harmony, but viewed from a more pragmatic stance, it's very calculated. There's another agenda here.

It depends on your school. With the more expensive ones, you're basically paying for the name and prestige that comes with it. This gets you better job offers afterwards, so depending on your field it's entirely worth it. I have a friend who paid something like $60k a year for a 4-year study. She had to take loans out for it, but then was able to pay back those loans in just 2 years since getting a job, as she got into a very well paying position due to the school she went to.

I do admit, that I personally feel it is a bit weird that he decided he is a pushover if he does not divorce her rather than at least trying to help her through therapy, I can only assume there were many more issues previously that he did not mention in his posts and this was rather the straw that broke the camels back. If this was the first major issue he had with her though, I don't see why you can't try a bit harder to make things work if you love her, then again, she tried some shady shit after she was caught, I would have more sympathy if she did not try and avoid accountability and even attempting to have him take accountability for her actions in her stead after she got caught.

I really don't understand story one and why the original poster cares if her dad disinherited her from his inheritance like I get why the original poster is doing it because however much money the dad is going to hand over from his inheritance understandably is probably going to be life-changing but yet the fact that the original poster literally states that she wants nothing to do with her dad and she knows he's a piece of crap I don't understand why she just let him back into her life so easily just because him and her had one emotional moment between each other but she couldn't see that he was still that same person going forward when she asked for his stepson to be living in her house and her life literally becoming a living hell going forward just because of the inheritance I know for a fact if I was in that situation I would try to put up with a two just to like get the money out of it but that's going to be for such a long time so at the same time I feel like fuck I might just get out of there and just be like screw this I'm not going to deal with this shit even if I get disowned by the dad and don't get to have it as inheritance

[@twistedumbrella7537]

Story one seemed made up to me for some reason.

[@jemase7931]

Stepbrother or half-brother?

[@artemislove2941]

story two feels fake because how can she have been taking it for over the years but he never saw any withdrawals???

[@jonasbrumley8184]

how much are your colleges charging you that you need $200000 to avoid debt

[@totitelevisionshow]

well she wants to go to an Ivy League.. so

[@P.e.d.r.oficial]

Is not step is half brother

[@satyadeepcreation6549]

It means the same though.

[@jackchop1576]

So, OP's wife in story 1 got sexually harassed by Justin's drunk friend when he trashed the house but she is demanding he pretends to like the brother for what? I'm getting gold digger vibes from her.

[@jwo122]

well he apparently has no significant money so can't really say she's a gold digger but it does appear like she's concerned about the inheritance, which most people would be to varying levels.

[@kumikor3392]

Or she's like most wives who don't want to be responsible for their spouse breaking contact with family. She knows how much OPs dad means to him, and so she was ready to ignore harassment for him. Good thing OP is a better man than his father because he didn't allow that for his wife

[@ritugupta2864]

Hiiii❤

[@thuglaza4728]

So dad is a deadbeat who somehow gets to play the victim?

[@draumpje]

Collegefund evaporating Hell no, i would not be taking the fall for that … no way I would be selling anything and everything bought with the money and is viable to be sold. All the sell your shit apps here i come

[@marybeasley9136]

Why do you call your half brother your stepbrother you share a dad so that makes him your half brother not your stepbrother

Lol, I will say tho it kinda feels like he's jumping the gun and this looks like a problem that could be fixed together. Maybe it's just me being naive, but the divorce seems kinda extreme.

[@smellacath3962]

3:35 Was on the OP's side and shook my head when he said he wasted food, but when he said the waitress WANTED a tip, I saw OP as the alien here. You don't demand or ask for a tip, you should get one if the person feels like giving one. A tip is a nice charitable gesture, not an expectation.

[@laylachristina5605]

You still don't make FUN of the waitress for wanting a tip, not okay.

[@Wishphoenix1]

If that brat was acting as entitled for the waitress as he was for OP, she deserved a HUGE tip!

[@tsm688]

yeah no. the way north america works, you don't tip them, they're not getting paid at all.
