[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, does your stepmom's family live close to them? Do you and your siblings have to travel to see them?

Something I have noticed when a parents says these things is that it can be a version of, See how hard these step kids try to spend time with me?

Combine that with a second wife who tries super hard to make sure her kids are in his good graces and it's a bad mix.

If you want a relationship with him then you have to work to have it. He's a boomer guy who thinks the women do all the work for making the relationships work.

If you don't want to do the work (and not get any inheritance) then so be it. But you can bet your sweet patoot that those step kids are working their patoots off to get in the will. [/quote]

My brother and I live in DC, sister lives in California. And yes, his wife's kids both live within 30 minutes of my dad and his wife.

God you have me a little worried now. My dad is conservative and I don't think he would leave my grandparents' money to them because my grandparents had it outlined in their irrevocable trust who the money is supposed to go to. However, I'm pretty sure my dad has left all the money to his wife when he dies and then it is supposed to go to us. But she could do whatever she wants with it when she gets it. I'm not sure how that works. I try not to ask or think too much about it because it makes me sick and I don't want to be too focused on it. I wasn't supposed to see a document but he accidentally included it in a stack of papers he gave me once. It was from his bank and he signed some paperwork saying that his wife is the first beneficiary and we (me and my 3 siblings) are second. Her kids are not mentioned.[/quote]

I think this means wife gets his $$ if he dies first. She will forget you exist from that day on. Ask me how I know (stepDD and friend was a stepdaughter whose Dads died first). [/quote]
