[quote=Anonymous]I have been estranged from my family for nearly 15 years for various reasons.  Staunch Catholic family, very conservative.  Me - liberal, gay, pro-choice.  Always picked on by her siblings, always admonished by her parents.  I slowly cut off communication when I moved to college.  Last year my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and reached out through mutual acquaintances "to make amends."  Much to my siblings' chagrin, we met, we talked, we were both at peace.  He seemed pleased with me, he really liked the fact that I made something of myself and that I was in a stable relationship compared to his other children.  He passed away a few months ago and no, none of them bothered to tell me about his funeral.

Fast forward - apparently he left me some money.  His lawyer reached out to me.  My siblings are obviously not pleased and want to contest the will. I don't particularly care about the money, I am well off financially but part of me says "hey, why not?" Maybe I'll buy a piece of art to remind me of the day I made amends with my father.
