I'm not guilty of any of the 4 scenarios, but the last one just happened to me. I'm only trying to put things in perspective...

hmm... i guessed 1 or 2 was something that happened to you personally... hope the other 2 aren't questions you are posing to gauge what level of retaliation is justified!

Your first example happened to my Uncle, his sister was left out of the will of the Aunts that raised them.

When he offered to give her what ever she wanted out of the house, she sued him for 1/2 of the estate [after taking him up on the offer]

This happened 15 years ago and he is still [censored] off about it.

The house was located in Highland Park and the land sold for 250K back then. [notice I said land, the house was bulldozed down by the new owner]

The quick story is that she was always a bad apple, there parents died when they were young and there two Aunts raised them. When the last Aunt got sick, she never once came to see her or helped with her care.

The courts ruled in the sisters favor because my Uncle did not fight and the Aunt was in his care when she wrote up the will [the judge said he might had been influenced in her aged condition]

So in the long run, the Judge gave her 1/2 of everything at the time of the suit, she had already taken a lot of things of value, it seems the 2 Aunts never through anything away and collected a lot of stuff that was worth a lot of money.

Sorry to hear about your father. His death is probably hard enough to handle without having this problem. It is ultimately your decision whether your sibling's actions are forgivable. Hopefully they at least followed your father's wishes in where his ashes were interred/spread.

You could go to the place where your father's remains are located and have your own private ceremony. Hopefully, this may provide some closure for you.

By the way, of the four options in the poll, the fourth seemed the least egregious, but still not something one would expect from a supposedly loving family member.

Again, sorry for the loss of your father.

Jeff,

I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

I think I would also be upset, but for me it would be something to be mad about, but forgiveable. The rest however, the first is something that I cannot even imagine and would have a hard time with. The second and third are killing offenses.
