#they also made my younger brother the executor which is fine it's bc he'll be living in the same city as them i assume

had an extremely weird conversation with my dad yesterday that has me totally re-evaluating my place in that part of the family and how my dad and stepmom see me as part of the family

they just did their wills and it was revealed to me that i am going to get 20% of their estate, while my two siblings (from my dad and stepmom's marriage) will get 40% each, and the reasoning was like. "well you come from me and your mother, and they come from me and your stepmom, so we thought it was more fair that way than to just divide it in thirds" which is so like. lmao. i've known my stepmom since i was three years old and i consider her to be my second mom. my family is huge and blended and i don't consider my half-siblings or step-siblings to be anything other than my siblings, full stop. we're very close and i consider myself to have four siblings and four parents. and until literally yesterday i thought everyone was on the same fucking page about that but i guess not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not to get into it but i do think the driving force behind that is my stepmom, not my dad. so that's a fascinating thing to learn on literally the first day of their visit with me
