Dear Adviceanators: A few years ago my mom passed away. My sister who is in her fifties received my moms house of 130,000.and most of her money (about 80,000 dollars) I got a lum sum as well but not nearly as much as my sister. The problem is this my sister is a master manipulator. She worked very hard on my mom behind my back saying things like if I would give the house away If I got it. (both of our names were always on the house my mom told me) She also told my mom she needed more money than me because she need to fix up the house. I never new my name was taken off till after she died. You have to understand my sister is a lpn nurse who used to make 20.00 an hour. Before my moms house she lived in a trailer with hole in the walls. She always had the ability to make a good living instead she only worked 2 days a week just to get by. What bother more than anything is that she abused my mother physcially and mentally and my mom enabled this bum by buying her cars and giving her money and now my mother has just enabled her after she died as well. I get so angry at this whole situation still to this day. Espcially if I ride by my moms house and see her sitting there like she worked so hard all her life to get all these things. I do have to say that GOD had truly blessed me in my journey of not getting that house. I just feel she got away with what she did. Oh and also she plans to get one of those reverse mortages to live off of. Any advice?
im really sorry i think you know by now that since its in your mother's will then you can change anything. shes a nasty person. if it was me i wouldnt talk to her. she hurt your mother and shes going to hurt you. a death can either make or break a family and i think your in position to choose which choice you want to take. she sounds pretty heartless and useless but dont loose hope because one day the world will turn a full circle and you will get what u deserve..im sorry about your mothers death and about your sisters cruilty i wish there was something better to say [ sia's advice column | Ask sia A Question ]

You should talk to your sister as much as it may kill you, if you are a little low on cash, ask her to help you out. If you need to stay at the house for a few weeks, ask if she would be kind enough to let you drop by, if your sister got all of the belongings in the house and jewlery, ask her to share some with you. It would be what your mom wanted, despite what was on the will, your mother unfortunately had a weak moment where as you said she was manipulated. Try to keep an open communication with your sister, and stay calm, try not to lash out at each other. Everything will be okay, dont worry :-)

I think your mom knows what she has done now but she cant change it considering she is gone. Your just going to have to be the bigger person and turn the other cheek. Karma always gets her revenge so don't worry eventually your sister will get whats coming to her. You should be proud that you work hard for what you get and at least you still got some money. The people who do nothing advance in life and the people who work advance after death. Just stay strong and be happy for the things you have, it could be way worse.
