Back story, my parents are 13 years apart. My Dad had 5 kids with his first wife. I'm my Mom's only child and my Dad's last. Back in the day visitation isn't like it is now but, the one and only time his children came to visit, their BM made my Mom out to be horrible because she bought the late teen daughters curling irons.LOL. My Mom was completely disengaged. Them living 26 hours away helped.
I only met one half sister, she was awesome

when my Dad retired he told my Mom he was going to visit his estranged children.(all over 40y.o) My Mom didn't want any part of it.Dad went and it went well.Only two of them were a bit stand offish.
He came back told my Mom he loved it there and wanted to move. She said no. I was married at the time. I had my own family.I told my Dad to do what make him happy.
He moved, my Mom stayed, she had a good career. They didn't divorce they had a private arrangement.My Mom passed in 07. I miss her!
I had a wonderful child hood! I have/had great relationships with them both. BUT, I have not seen my Dad in ten years. We talk weekly. Yes, we could have met up but we did not . life. LOL
Well, he is visiting my right now. It is so nice. Until, the green eyed monster in me awoke.
I'm upset because my Dad had informed me that he bought his son a $150,000 home. And everything else he does for his other kids.
I'm hurt! Thank God I'm financially okay but, damn when my hubby passed I could of used some help. I would of liked some help with my kids extra curriculars.
I know its childish but AAGHHH! I have six weeks with him and I will scream if I hear another how. I help my kids story.
