[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not hearing back from stepfamily about [/quote] things that have sentimental value. They live about two thousand miles away. I visited last fall before my dad passed away. We were all polite to each other then. My dad was in his eighties and had spent through his retirement money. My dh and I helped him several times when he asked for help since he and his wife had only SSI. His wife passed away less than a year before he passed away. When the stepfamily asked for help with his final expenses, we sent a check for a good share of the cost. I did not go back again for the small graveside  service but let them know they should be able to use his last SSI check to help cover costs. He was too sick to spend his last check. They said they would sell his car, not worth much, to also help cover his final costs. Later when I asked for photos and a few sentimental things I heard nothing back. [/quote]

How long were he and your step mother married?

It's very odd (and sad!) that his step kids gave him a funeral that YOU, his own child, couldn't be bothered to attend...but you were kind enough to "let them know they should be able to use his last SSI check to help cover costs."

And now you are asking them to take the time to sort through and find "sentimental" items for you?   I'd ignore you too.[/quote]

I agree.[/quote]
