Search Results: how can i forgive

My father died early without a will, and his estate was split between my sister and I. She got an extra $45,000 for being 17.5 when he died, because minors here automatically get that amount first out of everything in probate. Then, we split whatever is left after that.

I took my portion and bought his house from the estate. Part of that went to my sister as well. So, I think she ended up with about $80k cash, and I walked away with the house. I believe about $27k that I put down for the deposit was my total inheritance. The house wasn't worth much after paying off the mortgage, and it needed repairs.

Later, my dad's parents died and didn't leave me anything. So, I guess the 3k loan my grandmother forgave before she died counts. If I'd known, I wouldn't have paid back the other 2k the month before, and it would have been 5k. It's a bit annoying because my grandparents kept promising an inheritance and left nothing to me and everything to my uncle. They could have just never made empty promises... I wouldn't have expected anything if they didn't bring it up multiple times. Just feels like lies and betrayal.

My great grandfather left my brother and I $50k in elementary school, but my uncle stole it and spent it since he was in charge of the estate.

I don't expect anyone else to leave anything. Maybe a rug I requested from my in-laws and family pictures from my Nana. If they do then great surprise, if not then no biggie. So, I suppose about $30k total that I actually got.
