Today, my dad justified leaving two of my three kids out of his will because they’re adopted and so not really his proper grandchildren, telling me I can’t seriously expect him to just give his money to people who aren’t real family members. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after spending a few weeks getting to know my birth father and thinking he seemed decent, he's realised my adoptive parents aren’t rich and no, I can’t lend him a few grand. Now, he’s vanished and written several nasty Facebook posts about not being able to trust family. FML
Today, my dad refuses to let me inherit all of his money, which might just put a roof over my head when I’m older. *His* money? Well, actually, he inherited it. FML
Today, my father told me that it wasn't that I was written out of his will, it's that he never thought to include me in the first place. FML
Today, my brother's will left all his wealth to his second wife, while I get left his two kids and a small amount to help cover raising them, because his second wife isn’t mother material. Bitch, neither am I, I love my nieces but I’d go mad if I had to be their new parent. Leave me the money instead. FML
Today, my grandfather was counting all the grandchildren he had and saying how fortunate he was to have all of us. When I pointed out that he'd forgotten to count me, he turned and said, "You're adopted, you don't count as a real grandchild." FML
Today, after my ex had promised his mother he’d give something from her estate to my kids when she died, so she never bothered to change her will to include them, and she died a few weeks ago so I asked him about it because my eldest is going to university soon. He laughed in my face and shut the door. FML
Today, my dad's will included a DNA test he did on me when I was 3, proving I’m not his son. I thought we had a great relationship, but apparently he secretly hated me all these years for mom cheating, and decided to embarrass me in front of our family, half of whom it turns out I’m not related to. FML
Today, I found out why my dad always treated me badly as a kid compared to my siblings. It's because I was conceived while my mom was cheating on him. On top of that, he made it clear that he still doesn't consider me a "real" part of the family. FML
Today, my husband and I recently decided not to have kids, because neither of us like children. Learning this, my dad wrote me out of his will and my mother swore on the Bible in church that she’s never going to speak to me again until I obey God's word and start multiplying. FML
Today, I found out that my dad left his entire estate to charity in his will, including his house. He knew I needed that house to get my kids back, because I’m currently homeless and my kids are in care until I can prove I have a suitable place for us to live. FML

That's tough. Unfortunately its his will which is his way or the high way. Sorry, OP. Not much you can do.

What an assholish move. If my parents had done that with the two kids I adopted, I would consider my parents dead and never visit them again.

Sure there is, cut the father out of his and his kids life. If he refuses to acknowledge the adopted kids, then he doesn’t deserve any grandkid visits

my stepfather cut one of his son's kids out of his will saying "she gets nothing, she knows what she did". sorry but a person's will IS "their way or the highway". Also if this son said "well then no visits for you", I am sure dad wouldn't have any problem cutting him out of it, along with any kids he did provide for. yep, you can say "it's an a-hole move", but it's is the dad's right to provide or not provide, for anyone he chooses. PS- nothing says the son can't give the adopted kids part of his inheritance either.

Don’t sweat it. Sure Dad’s being a jerk. But Dad has the right to do as he chooses with his money. And you have the right to feel the way you do. But frequently an inheritance comes out to be a lot less than everyone expects. It’s just not worth getting upset about. Unless you are one of the “One Percent” the only thing you can really count on is what you manage to earn yourself.

If the laws of your country allow that, your country is pretty much ****** up.

It’s his call and belief, that doesn’t make him a bad person.

My MiL did the same thing. She would only accept hubby's blood kids but not our two. He adopted my son and we adopted my niece. Here's the irony.. my hubby is ALSO adopted.. so none of those kids are her blood kin anyway. Go figure! =)
