[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in this situation. My father left more to one child than the others, and I was in the group that got less. All of us are roughly equally well off. No one is rich but we are all comfortable.

It stung being given half of what the favored sibling got. In my case, it really and truly was not about the money. When you find this out, you are grieving the loss of a loved one, and the inequity gets intertwined with the grief. When you're grieving you're not thinking rationally. It's a very emotional time, and inequity hurts. It takes you back to when you were a kid and so and so got treated better as the favorite.

Once I got past the intense grieving, the distribution hasn't bothered me. It's just not worth worrying about and there's nothing I can do about it so I don't even give it any thought anymore. [/quote]

Do you have any sense of why your father did this?  Sounds so painful.  [/quote]

yes, PP.  i would like to hear your story if you feel like you can share.  i suspect i will be in the same boat one day based on how i've been treated in comparison with my siblings.  i am preparing myself for the feelings you describe because relationships mean more than money, so i know i must find peace.   however, the pain of being the "unfavored" kid is hard to stomach.  how did you work through the reminder of these painful memories?[/quote]
