DH and I went bowling with our BM and his GF last night and had a great time. When I got home there was a message for me on the answer machine from Dad to call before 11 because he said he was being unfair and that we needed to talk. I woke up about 5 minutes ago and this was in my inbox:
Saisongbird: Sorry for putting you through such a rough time. I have calmed down and realize how wrong I was to make the suggestion to you. Sorry. Irv (no longer father to me) gave me grandmother's share of the estate and nothing of his share of their estate. This is how his mind would work. My anger, disappointment, whatever, caused me to stop thinking rationally. Please tell DH I am sorry Enjoy the money and use it wisely. The trust says you are entitled to 50% of your share now. The other 50% is held in trust by the lawyer until you are 30; although the income it produces may be sent to you & you can request the other 50% for a specific reason. The lawyer decides if you get it early. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Love
Dad
I responded by saying Thank you and that I love you. I do love my dad, but clearly he and I have a lot of things to talk about. But that's for when the smoke has cleared.
I hadn't responded to him yet since talking to him Thursday night. I guess waiting him out did the trick. I'm very relieved. Thank you for all your advice. The knotties/Nesties come through again!

Good! I'm glad that worked out. I skimmed the other message and you were totally getting screwed.
