[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here to clarify.

The unemployed alcoholic is my sister. She is 48 and hasnt worked since she was 26. She is a loser. Her life is a wreck. She's 300 pounds and lives in a condo my mother bought. It's stuffed to the rafters with trash. She watches TV and posts on the internet all day. That is her life.

My brother and I both put ourselves through college and have decent jobs and stable lives. We are 'normal'.

Giving 4.5 million dollars to our sister is the same as throwing it from the top of a skyscraper.[/quote]

Calm down,OP. Don’t call your sister a loser, she may be struggling with something. She doesn’t need to be employed to have a life. Relax, I k kw it might be hard but who knows maybe she’ll put the money to good use.[/quote]

"May be"? From the hoarding alone, we can tell that she's probably on the autism spectrum with severe anxiety. Hoarding is closely related to anxiety and inability to triage, and current theories explain it as an off-shoot of autism.

This doesn't mean she "deserves" more money than her siblings. OP's mother made a poor choice. [/quote]

Exactly. Throwing money at the train wreck of a sister pretty much guarntees she will have no safe guards. If OP's mom wasn't a moron, she would have put the money in a trust and had the normal kids give her an allowance. Now, the money will be lost. The daughter goes bankrupt and becomes the problem for the brothers. That is, if they take her. I know I wouldn't ever talk to my sister again if she took 5 million dollars from our parents and gave me nothing.[/quote]
