Thanks Yosemite. I was very surprised to see this entire thread turn to money and I ended up having to explain myself more then I wanted to in defense lol. I am not saying anything bad about it because it is very sweet and I really did appreciate all of the support and thoughts everyone had to give me. Thank you everyone.

I totally, totally agree with the above. I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t expect the house, I wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t be getting a lawyer for that. Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s not my house, if my parents give her a house I will just suck it up. That wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t happen but itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s really not my house to complain about not getting. I will totally appreciate it if I got the money though. As I said before, I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t believe in lawyers and courts when it comes to blood.

Thanks Yoemite, I have grown up in a very good family. I really couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have asked for better. Lol and it really did help me out. As ive said in previous posts i dont really have any friends close to where i live so sometimes it hard when stressful things come up.

I did end up apologizing to my parents. I have yet to talk to my sister. I am still not sure what to do about that. I am excited my Dad is flying down tomorrow. My Mom was supposed to come but she has a major flu (but assured me a thousand times it wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t because of this mess). I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know why my sister isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t coming down. I can only assume because her and my mother were going to drive down she never got a plane ticket.

I feel a ton better. I will feel ever better when I try and figure out what to do with my sister lol. I kept trying to pick up the phone and dial but for some reason I kept pausing and not dialing…

Wait a minute! Do we have the same sister?!

Seriously, I'm glad you're feeling better about the situation. It sound as if your folks actually have good financial sense. I could tell you a horror story about my FIL passing away without a will, but I won't---it's just too ugly. Hopefully, your folks have things well in hand.

Good luck with that sister!
