    Font - A week ago my mom and dad sat me down and told me that I had a half sister named Jennifer. My mom explained to me when she was in university she got pregnant and gave the child up because she wanted to pursue her studies and she was certain at the time she never wanted children. My mom said Jennifer contacted her and since my grandma left her nothing she wanted me to give some of my inheritance to Jennifer. I refused because l'm married and have a baby. I have a lot of plans for that mone

    Font - HLouise97 · 6h Partassipant [2] Nta legally jennifer isn't her child anymore and is not entitled to inheritance from your family. She's entitled to inheritance from her adoptive family.

    Font - 29031925 · 6h Partassipant [1] 1 Award NTA That money is not your mother's to give. She has no right to tell you what to do with it. On the flip side, though, your mother is probably having an emotional crisis over having been contacted and is now feeling a tremendous amount of guilt. Try to be sympathetic to her even though she's acting irrationally. G Reply 4 273 3 ...

    Font - deadstar420 •6h Absolutely NTA, why would you be on the hook for that?? I'm guessing your grandmother left money to your parents as well right? Why don't they give her some money? Also did Jennifer come asking for money or does your mom think this will absolve her of some (unnecessary) guilt she feels from giving up her child. Definitely NTA. 6 Reply 1 138 3 ...

    Font - EDIT- Just found out the reason my mom isnt giving money is because my parents share accounts and my dad doesn't want to give my half sibling a cent. My dad doesn't like how my mom hid that Jennifer contacted her from my dad. Jennifer told my mom she's penniless and has an Only fans and that it's my moms fault she's like that. My grandma did know about Jennifer. My mom got some inheritance, but her and my father are both doctors and make a lot of money. 7.1k 3 774 |↑, Share
