AITA??? Hello, I am 54f, married to 55m. We moved my father, now 92m, in with us 6 years ago. He had Alzheimer’s, and passed away 2 weeks ago. I quit my job 5 years ago because his condition was so overwhelming, I knew that in order for him to live his best life, I needed to focus on him. He died in our home.
I have been battling the following: my father has a very small, $4000 life insurance policy. I am the beneficiary. $1500 will more than carry his cremation. However, I have 2 siblings. They ARE an emotional support and they have sent money my way to help with my father. ( less than $100 in the 5 years).
Personally, I know that the remainder isn’t a lot to separate 3 ways after funeral expenses, but I thought it would surely be nice for me and my spouse to decompress, and go somewhere, since we’ve been locked at the house for 5 years. I do feel guilty for sounding like I’m being greedy. So, AITA?
