[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was in the same boat. Dying husband, spoiled rotten stepkids, who never called, never bothered to ask how their dad was doing. And they were no teenagers. The first thing I made sure was that there was never any contact between them and my daughter. Her halfsister is a junkie. Her halfbrother is constantly blaming anyone but himself, can't hold a job or a marriage.

So stand your ground. Keep losers away from your child.[/quote]
So, divorced parents, dying father, step mom, new half sibling, and messed up even adult children? I guess divorce really has no impact on children.[/quote]

Ugh, so we're all assuming that her deceased father was father of the year.

Guess, what, my father was dying and I didn't visit him until right before he died because he was horrible and abused my sister as a child  And I wasn't nice to my stepmom because she wasn't nice to me.  But, if I found out I had a sibling, I would likely reach out especially since my abusive father was out of the picture.

We don't the story at all, maybe the girl is awful, maybe she isn't, but she isn't harassing you by asking you how you are on social media.  Ignore he if you want, but there is nothing legal to be done and be sure you're ready to explain to your son why you didn't let him see his sister.  [/quote]
Nobody said father is a saint in any scenario. So, what you are saying is that if you had a half sibling you might want to have some relationships when you are an adult? Same things OP's step DD is doing. Grew up, matured, and might want to see her brother. OP doesn't' have to do anything. But, clearly she posted here and is realizing that her decision is eating her away. She might answer and find out that step DD is still immature or wants money, possible, or she might never reach out and never find out what she wanted. And it will eat away at her like it is now. So, what is a better option long term for OP and her emotional well being? The way I see if, in both scenarios answering is a win for OP, even if she is upset be finding out that her step DD is still a monster.[/quote]
