My selfish father (is this the 4th story now?)

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I see the stress just start to flow off my back!

My father is wierd to put it plainly. In the last two years I lost my Opa & Oma who were his mom & dad. When both of them past I was not giving the chance to say my final good byes. You know go up to the coffin when everyone was seated and say good bye. Upset me dearly.

My father told me in April that I and the kids would get some money. Not alot but a little bit. Okay I didn't spend it before I got it so that is right. But he facebooked me and told me he was getting a 52 ford fairlane. Okay. so I asked him the next day about the car and where were the pictures? Fell through. Okay saturday he calls and says he is stopping over. Here he come and has picture of him new (old) 52 chevy. Says I could buy his scion because they were getting a new car. What is wrong with the scion... he doesn't like it but it would be good for me.

So I call his only brother because I have a better relationship with him then my own daddy. I told him the situation and Oma & Opa specifically wanted me my bro and cousin to each get a certain amount. My cousin was sent hers the day my uncle got the check. He called my dad a d-head. He says I should ask him.

I feel wrong about it.

That is a hard one. Gosh, I am not sure what I would do if I were in your situation. Maybe just nicely mention that your family could really use the money right now if there is an inheritance you are to have?

I don't have any advice. I know Mom wanted her insurance money divided among us kids when she died after the headstone was paid for. Instead Dad kept every penny to include not bothering to purchase a headstone for her.

Oh hun ... unfortunately that is a story you hear all too often ... money was legally intrusted to one individual with the belief that they would adhere to a family members wishes and divide it among certain people. However, when that one individual gets the money in their hands, they somehow can't pull out the decent person inside themselves and split it up.
Banking on the hope that the money isn't ALL gone yet, I'd try to talk to your Dad ... let him know that you guys are in a bind and that if there is money that was meant to go to your family, you'd like to see it.

Have to agree. Ask him. It's the only way to know.
