Based upon how manipulative her mother is, I wonder if it's not that her paternal family didn't want anything to do with her but her mother alienated them after her father's death and just told her they didn't want to know her.

[@areszeudion5153]

I kind of wanted to suggest op to contact her dad's lawyer and ask whether or not he knew her dad's family and perhaps asked them whether or not they can meet. I saw two reddit aita where parents alienate their children from their grandparents over petty/greedy reasons that ends with the grandparents finding out about their grandkids on deathbed. I know it might be hard like they might be biased and judging, but they're probably op's only 'sane' blood relatives. So to say, just open the door, expect nothing nor accept any that are offered.

@@mercuriallily this may sound harsh but still applies. Sounds like both people didn't do a proper screening of their chosen partner and their personalities/priorities on both sides before starting a family (if it's even biologically both of theirs). Sounds likely they were winging it and assuming any glaring issues they had in their relationship would be ignored for the sake of the kid/s (especially with the language being used in the comment, implying not being on the same page about raising children together in the first place).

[@james82257]

correction, 19 years cuz the kid took a gap year. It's amazing how pathetic that is and he was prob banking on ops money

[@mnomadvfx]

6 years I think. The story implies that the golddigging ex wife took all/most of his money save the house they are living in, and perhaps even paying for his share of the house cleaned him out. Even so it's not a good look when the step son just spent a gap year and apparently has no funds to show for it, and isn't willing to get a student loan.

[@BrightElk]

It’s hard seeing stories about kids being disenfranchised when their parents get remarried. It makes me feel like remarrying (with dependent children) is just a bad idea.

[@mnomadvfx]

It's not a bad idea so long as there are no other parents still in the picture, and as long as you are willing to treat those children like part of the family. In this case though it kinda seems like the step dad would have been on his own if he did so as the mother seems like she was treating her daughter as dead weight.

[@jonathandiaz3338]

op if you read this, your mother is dead, as a person ofc, consider her dead and move on, you dont own them anything, she only cares for herself, your dad truly did and is a shame that he passed away when you were young

[@DarkEinherjar]

I have a feeling that OP would be kicked out at the age of 18 regardless of whether or not she gave away the college fund. Maybe the only reason why that monster of a mother kept OP under her roof all that time, aside from legal obligation, was to get her claws on that money.

[@lauraodonoghue1348]

[@noobyman333]

Weekly shoutout on these kinda stories to remind people to pay attention to children when families blend. It's unfortunately quite common for one of the previous families kids or even both to get pushed out [ if the parents decide to have a new child together ]. This crap needs to be called out ASAP because even if it doesn't change the crappy attitude and lack of love, it can ensure the child(ren) get the required care and attention until they're able to leave.

[@BrightElk]

I’ve been paying attention because it happened to both my husband and I. Disenfranchised as children from a previous marriage when parents remarry. It has forever changed how I view blended families and tainted my view of remarrying with dependant children. I have only seen it go well once. All other attempts have blown up spectacularly. Needless to say if my husband and I do not work out I have decided not to bring home dates or remarry until my daughter is grown up and out of the home. She should not be forced to be subjected to a new person in her life when she is still too young and naive to speak up for herself and defend herself. I have also heard of way too much sexual violence against girls in these situations as well.

[@lizlemonline2951]

I’m always amazed by the partners who know their significant others will happily abandon their family after they pass. So they have to take such measures to make sure the money is t wasted or given away to someone else’s family. It reminds me of the mom who died and left everything to her child instead of her husband because she knew he’d give it all to his new wife and kids. And he surely tried. Tried to get his own child to give up house, trust fund, and all other personal items to give to his stepdaughters and wife. It’s crazy how quickly people switch up just so they don’t have to be alone.
