[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's super weird. That said, your Dad is old. His wife will be doing everything. I'd probably have a frank conversation about the estate but I would also assume that by the time he dies, she'll convince him to give her everything so whats the point? As far as the kids - if we were geographically close I'd have interactions with them. They are innocent in the mess of people being selfish and stupid.[/quote]

This. She's going to get it all, so don't bother asking about the estate. It's gone. That's what the first marriage kids get (in addition to their parents' unhappy marriage and divorce and remarriage and losing a lot of the time they could have had with their father-- fun times). The second marriage kids get an intact family if they're lucky, an awkwardly old father who dies when they're still young, and the rest of the money if there is any. But in a lot of these situations the dad can't really afford more kids, he agrees to it because he knows Wife 2 (or is it 3) will leave him if he doesn't.

It isn't the kids' fault, and they'll likely be losing their father pretty young, so I'd keep the door open to a relationship with them if you can stand to be around their mother.
