depressed about always having to be the bigger person because my brother has low self esteem, irresponsible and blames others. Our father gave my brother all his money because he "needs" it more. My dad bailed him for over 30 years, and my husband and I worked hard and saved so we are not wealthy but comfortable. I was dumbfounded when I found out he gave 90% of the estate to my brother and sister-in-law, and I am suppose to just understand. I don't, it was wrong. I'm tired of over looking my brother's irresponsiblity and lack of respect.
Disinherited

I hear you. I can share that I was a scapegoat in a very unhealthy family system. I had to get out completely. It is such a painful loss to have no family. I will be surprised if my narcissistic mother leaves me anything. Thank you, Dad (who died last year) for leaving me some security. He must have done that behind her back.
I'm so sorry you were treated this way.
I am new here, and so grateful to not be alone on this painful journey of betrayal from family. My mother passed away June 2025. My sister, 15 months younger and the only other heir ruthlessly tried to keep me away from my mother during the last months of her life. I have just learned that my sister has been working behind the scenes for the past two years to alter my mother’s will to remove me from any kind of inheritance. I don’t have words for how devastating and painful this is. I have mixed feelings as what to do about this? Money is the motive, and my mother did have Dementia…? The will reflects I was removed June of 2024 - one year before she passed away…
