I confronted dad and he told me it was a nice gesture and he wanted me to let her keep them. He said I won't wear them so what's the harm. I got mad and told him

    My mom did when I (17m) was 6. She left me a box of her things. It was a hand made box with my name on it and there was a letter tied to it for me to read when I was old enough. She also added the box and everything inside it to her will. So everything in it was 100% meant to be mine and only for me, not for my dad or anyone

    My dad has a daughter who's 8. His relationship with her mom broke down and he has full custody of her so it means we all live together.

    they're mom's and I'm mom's only kid. Dad told me that didn't matter and I said it does, I said his daughter is not my mom's child and she's not who I wanted to have them in the future. He told me I should consider it an act of accepting my half sister and that I don't make enough of an effort to do that. I told him that's not

    I've been pred ever since and I made my half sister give them back. She resisted and she cried which ped dad off but I never want her to have them. Dad told me the anger isn't fair and I should look at the bigger picture and understand he still loves mom and he wanted my half sister to have something from

    Dad told me my anger isn't right and I should reconsider my stance. He said being so angry about it says I don't care about him or my half sister. AITA?

    rapidly losing respect for your selfish untrustworthy pathetic excuse of a father. Half sister has a living mother. When she drops de d, the kid can have whatever she wants from that woman. Until then, you're going to protect and

    executor fiduciary responsibility. So take everything back and be responsible for your own safekeeping the items. Ask a relative on your mother's side to open a bank safety deposit box for you and store them there.
