[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My opinion is that your father is a bad man and you are completely justified in your feelings. I am sorry you have such a POS for a father. I wish your mother stood up for you and herself more, or maybe was more manipulative, and gotten something out of him for your and herself. I hope you will inherit something from him. [/quote]

My mom is truly a wonderful person and she has enriched my life immeasurably!  Thank you so much for validating my feelings, you don’t know how much it means!  I’d be quite shocked if he left me anything; his newest wife isn’t young, but I assume everything will go to her and her family or to a charity.
I honestly was feeling like I was the worst for expecting anything from him and you’ve really helped me start to reframe my thinking.  Thank you so very much![/quote]

I am sure your mom is a great person! Unfortunately good people are bad at manipulating bad ones! 
Again, imo it is perfectly normal to expect that a parent puts their child first. I say this both as a daughter and a mother. 
I wish you the best! [/quote]
