[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you have different dads. Did mom Really pay for all of his private schooling? Or did his dad help while your dad was not willing to help? Did they really kick you out at 18, or did you just not wanna live there because you didn’t like your stepdad or something? [/quote]

Our dads made similar money.  Mom actually kicked me out at 13.  I asked to move back during high school and wasn’t able to.  Then again after 18, not allowed.  Mom and stepdad were divorced when I was in HS.

Mom and stepdad split costs.  I was estranged from dad after emancipation.[/quote]

Did you live with your father from 13 - 18?

If your mother kicked you out at 13 and would not let you move back in later before you were 18, and it appears she has not changed or shown remorse, why do you still have a relationship with her that makes her think you will take care of her.

How close do you live to her?

One thing about our society (unfortunately it still pervades) is that daughters are generally expected to be the ones caring for the parents over sons.  When I see sons taking more care, it is usually because the daughter moved away and the son is still near. [/quote]

I do not live nearby (3.5 hours away).  My brother still lives in the same city (DC) and will likely stay. [/quote]
