[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since he's still married, you'd essentially be supporting his wife and perhaps step-kids. Is this what you want to do?

I'd consider if he was single and desperate, even if he was not there for you. But with his own long-time family they're essentially all with their hands out now... no. They see you as a cash cow, nothing more. And as someone said in an earlier post, if you give them anything, they'll keep asking and asking and yes, after your father dies, it'll be the stepmom and her kids. They're poor so they have infinite needs. [/quote]

The step kids are grown adults, one a couple years younger and one older. They both are financially stable and have their own families-but are local to my father and stepmom. So essentially when my father does pass away I know they are going to ask me to cover all of those expenses. But after that I will absolutely not be supporting my step mom as she has her two own children for that. It’s just a grey area now since, he is my father and I am his only biological child.
