Roughly the same ages as my father and his 2nd wife when he remarried. He died 7 years later, so they had been together 10 years total. The "sweet" retired teacher 2nd wife got EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. No drama in our family, we were all very close with our dad, the 2nd wife was always nice. But again, she got EVERYTHING. Leading up to his death her family had helped orchestrate everything to go to her. Her sister was a lawyer, her brother was an accountant.

Yes, she helped him as he died on a terminal illness for 2 years. But is 2 years of in-home care worth over 3 million dollars? No, it is not. We were robbed by the 2nd wife.

You've been warned.[/quote]
Your father made his choice.[/quote]

What an awful thing to say!  Sounds like the second wife took advantage of the situation and PP got screwed.  [/quote]
But the dad willingly married her. That’s a fact. Was he dragged to the altar under duress?Why is the woman always blamed in these cases? A smart man would have made iron-clad provisions for his children.[/quote]

PP above is absolutely correct. It's such a slap-in-the-face that her father did that to PP and PP's siblings...but he made that choice regardless of who helped orchestrate it. [/quote]

But in this case, it sounds like the dad was sick and dying and second wife took advantage of him by orchestrating that everything be left to her.  Had they had a discussion about what should happen when he was healthy, and provisions had been made on what would happen if he was not in a good mental/physical state, this may not have happened.  Which is all the more reason that OP needs to have this conversation now, before the marriage license is signed.  [/quote]
