complicated dynamics<\/a>\u2026there\u2019s just no getting around it!<\/p>\nAnd the woman who wrote this story is really going through it.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s conflicted about sharing an inheritance she received from her late husband because the people who are asking for a cut are struggling in life.<\/p>\n
Read on and get all the details below.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy (32F) husband passed away earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Our children (6F, 3M) and I inherited his entire estate, which in total is worth almost a million dollars. When he was in high school, my husband had a child (16F) with his girlfriend at that time.<\/p>\n
He broke up with his girlfriend once he found out she was pregnant, saying he wasn\u2019t ready to be a father yet.<\/p>\n
He visited her maybe once every few years when he was alive.<\/p>\n
These people have it rough\u2026<\/p>\n
My stepdaughter and her mother are very poor.<\/p>\n
They have struggled financially ever since my husband\u2019s passing as they no longer receive child support.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re struggling to pay rent and risk getting evicted.<\/p>\n
My stepdaughter reached out to me begging for her share of the inheritance.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s only honoring her late husband\u2019s wishes.<\/p>\n
I feel bad for her, but my husband clearly stated in his will that he wanted to leave his estate to me and my children only.<\/p>\n
I barely even know my stepdaughter, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s my responsibility to take care of her.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s furious with me, calling me a heartless gold digger and saying that giving her money was the least I could do to make up for years of neglect.<\/p>\n
AITA?\u201d<\/p>\n
