[quote=Anonymous]The responses here are very telling in terms of who has dealt with parental estrangement/abandonment and who has not.  For those of you saying it's unreasonable for the bio kids to be upset and that they had every chance to mend their relationship with their father, it's rarely that simple.  There is often many years of wrongs involved and the parent/child dynamic is not an equal one - even once the kids are adults. That is to say, it's not necessarily on the kids to reconcile with a parent in all situations.  It is not as black and white as many posters here seem to think.  Those of us who have personally dealt with it know that it's really messy and there's lot of hurt to go around.

We don't know the circumstances here or whether there is a reason the bio kids expected an inheritance.  OP owes them nothing, but I am not going to cast judgment on their reasons for thinking or hoping that they would inherit something.  I do not condone their behavior toward OP either, and there's no reason they should be taking this out on her.
