Today, my dad informed me that my mother's 100k life insurance policy was being processed perfectly, for him. I rent a falling apart mobile home and work 3 jobs to get by. He owns outright and already gets all her pension benefits, etc. I am receiving nothing as inheritance. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's been a week since my mother died. She had no life insurance and was over $20,000 in debt, plus her hospital/funeral bills. My father wants nothing to do with me as she was a one night stand and he never paid child support. I'm behind on rent and bills because I'm injured from work. Thanks for nothing, mom. FML
Today, at lunch with my mother, she disclosed that she made some changes to her will. Instead of the previous even split to all siblings, 90% of the sizable estate will now go to my brother. He has already been living off my mother's property for the last 10 years, and reaping the benefits of being expense free. 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, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, my father retired and made sure to buy both my younger sisters and their partners near new cars. Despite only one having a licence. Then bought the bare minimal definition of a "functioning" car for me, as compensation for paying off the family car on my own. FML
Today, my dad tried to charge me $3000 for a car that my dead grandma, his mother, left to me in her will. I have to live with this asshole. FML
Today, I have now reached the point in the financial landslide of my life that the only thing of value I have managed to hold on to is my life insurance policy, which I just manage to pay for every month. It says something that I am now actually worth more dead than alive. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, I found out all the money my dad has been saving in the bank for me since birth has all been spent, by my mother who I haven't seen or talked to in about two years. FML
Today, I've realized that even if I do get financially stable enough to move out, I still won't be able to because my mom's awful fibromyalgia/arthritis combo has gotten to the point where she can barely get out of bed sometimes. It's so bad that my dad and I almost qualify to get paid just to take care of her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You have zero expectation of any inheritance. That's your parents' money, not yours. There's a good reason he's the beneficiary, not you. Quit acting so entitled or you may not get anything when he passes either.

You seem more bothered by this than the fact your mother just died.

It's life insurance, not an inheritance. Why do you think you're entitled to that money?

The question might be, why are you live in a shit hole when you have 3 jobs? BTW, some kids are relieved they won't have to support their parents in their old age.

Were you named as a beneficiary for anything from her estate?

Get a lawyer who accepts contingency. Be careful that they don't end up taking almost all of it.

why? they don't deserve and are not entitled to any of it. the father was the beneficiary as he should be. if they didn't act like such an entitled spoiled brat, maybe they'll get something after their father dies. also, they don't seem bothered at all that their mother just died.

your dad deserves it you don't. he worked for what he has. you sound like your just starting out or haven't figured life out yet. you are not entitled to the life insurance but you do sound like an entitled spoiled brat.
