At this point we do not know the truth in both sides but we do know he left a hot mess for his step daughter and grandkids to deal with. That’s says a lot about his character. He could have at least talked to the OP about his plan when he drew up his will. 
What a jerky thing to do. [/quote]

Exactly. So many men like op’s stepdad remarried and comprehend abandon their first set of kids. My dad did the same.

Op admits she doesn’t know what happened in their marriage.

Watch.. let’s see if someone does that to one of her grandchildren and see how it feels.

Everything always come back full circle.[/quote]

DCUM’s insistence on siding with disinherited people is so odd. [/quote]
Completely agree. After years and years on DCUM, I see a similar pattern in all threads about inheritance and stepfamily issues: a significant percentage of posters will project their own circumstances into the thread with little to no regard of the facts of the OP’s situation. It’s obviously the case that divorce causes lasting pain for many kids, and based on what I see on DCUM, many of the children of divorce have failed to work through their issues and get to a healthy place. This type of poster will always bring an emotional response, side with whomever in the OP’s story is most like who they consider to be the wrong people in their own lives (making up facts as needed), and seem to be incapable of rationally analyzing or responding to the OP’s question.

My two cents on OP’s situation is that she owes absolutely nothing in the way of a response to her stepdad’s bio kids, and agree with PPs who noted that anything she says in an effort to be nice could be used against her if these harassing jerks contest the will. I find it quite odd that people in their 40s who have had no relationship with their dad for 20+ years (regardless of who is most to blame) and didn’t attend or acknowledge his funeral would expect an inheritance. Finally, I agree with those who have noted that no one should feel entitled to receive an inheritance from another person, even a loved one. It’s lovely when it happens, but it’s a terrible thing to live your life with any expectation of receiving one.
