Stepdad demands daughter give part of her inheritance to 10 and 12-year-old half-siblings: 'My stepdad has been insisting I share the money'

There are few things that can split up a seemingly happy family faster than money issues.

Let's face it, lots of people don't just live paycheck to paycheck, they don't always have any upward mobility to look forward to. Working 40+ hours a week for your whole life is just the hand that many people are dealt. So when they come into a windfall of money, they know their life could transform instantly overnight. Instead of grinding away for a boss you hate, you could be reading a book on the beach in Miami, or investing in a swanky Corvette, or taking all your friends to a sports game with box seats. It's the kind of thing we all daydream about, but probably won't get the chance to achieve.

All this money represents something worth fighting for, but when the person you're squared up against is your sibling, half-sibling, or another family member, it can change the whole dynamic of your relationship. This person disagrees with her stepdad that she should give a bunch of her own inheritance money to her 10 and 12-year-old half-siblings. They're way too young to even know what to do with the money! And as this person notes, they already did get some inheritance money, just not quite as much. So why does Dad want that additional money so badly? Hmm…

I agree that it's a bit suspicious that the dad is pushing so hard for more money. It's almost like he took the siblings' cash and spent it already… but we can't say for certain. It's an interesting thing for him to do, though!

Perhaps bringing in some outside legal counsel could make things go more smoothly too, with fewer hurt feelings
