It is tragic when a parent passes away leaving behind young children, but a good life insurance policy can help with the financial aspects of things.

What would you do if your mom passed and left money for you, but then your dad and his new wife wanted to spend it to give medical care to your half-sister?

That is the situation the boy in this story is dealing with and he is refusing to let them use the money.

Check it out.

AITA for being the reason my grandparents refuse to help my dad anymore and laughing when he and his wife complained about it?

My mom passed when I (16m) was 7.

She left me an inheritance that my dad was put in charge of.

The money was supposed to be for my future and nobody was supposed to touch it unless I really needed it.

It was pretty specific.

I read through it 5 months ago when everything went down.

My dad got married again when I was 10 and he has an 8 year old stepdaughter and now a 4 year old daughter with his wife “Louise”.

My half-sister was diagnosed with a rare condition when she was 2.

It was always clear something was wrong but they had a really hard time figuring out what it was.

Doctors would say she’d be fine when she was older.

It would be helpful to know the condition.

This condition isn’t life threatening, like she won’t pass from it, but it could potentially leave her permanently disabled in a bad way.

A few months ago they found out about this hard to get into treatment for it.

But it was expensive.

There was/is ways to get help paying for it but that takes longer.

So my dad decided he would use the inheritance mom left me to pay for it.

Dad already made up his mind.

He tried asking me but he was going to do it anyway and when I said no he told me as much.

Then he shamed me for saying no, for putting college before the health of my half sister.

Louise was in the room with us but she wasn’t talking before I said no.

She asked me how I could look at my half sister at the life she will have if we don’t do something and say no.

I told my dad I would never forgive him if he took the money.

After I read her will (grandparents had a copy) I brought up the fact it was only for my needs it could be spent before.

He told me mom was gone and he hoped she’d understand.

I told him I never would.

He told me I’d understand when I’m older.

I told him I hated him and I told Louise she better never speak to me again because I found it disgusting she’d encourage stealing from me and taking my mom’s money.

I told my grandparents what dad did.

There seems to be more to this story than is written.

They’re my mom’s parents but had stayed friendly with dad and there were times they would help him.

They shared stuff with him all the time and grandpa would look at dad’s car for free if anything was wrong.

That all stopped when I told them.

Dad couldn’t figure out why until he confronted them about it last week.

They told him he had some nerve stealing from me, taking their daughter’s money and spending it on his child.

My dad was mad they didn’t understand and support his decision.

He confronted me about it and complained about what I did.

He shouldn’t laugh, this is a difficult situation.

I laughed and told him I had warned him I would never forgive him for it.

He asked how I got to be so heartless and selfish.

I told him I would never forget what he did.

AITA?

There is not enough information here to say for sure who is in the wrong, but it sounds like a difficult situation regardless.

Let’s look at the comments and see what other people have to say.

Here is someone who says both sides are to blame.

This comment says that parents will do anything to save their kids.

This commenter says the dad was stealing.

Here is another person saying to consult with a lawyer.

This person points out that it was the son’s money, not the dads.

This is a terribly difficult situation for everyone involved.

Most people can definitely see both sides on this one.
