[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friend isn't wrong about what her step-sister is doing but[b] the fact that she cares about this at 62 years old is crazy[/b].  It isn't her money, she needs to just let it go.

And before someone bashes me, I am a ACOD, my father is remarried and I have a step-sibling and a half-sibling on my father's side.  I expect to inherit exactly $0.00 from him and that is fine with me.  [/quote]

To be fair, it's a new situation. It's not like she is upset that the stepsister got her college paid for and she didn't.

But yeah I agree, I mean, [b]as long as she isn't going to be on the hook for financially supporting her father,[/b] this isn't really her battle. I'm sure it's painful and she needs support but she needs some perspective.

(And I'm also an ACOD)[/quote]

The more money that goes out the door to the stepsister, the more likely she *is* going to be on the hook for it-- and maybe for supporting the stepmother too.  And the stepsister doesn't seem to be able to support herself, so what's she gonna do when the cash runs out?[/quote]
