My father passed away 7 days ago, Him and my mother divorced when me and my sister were both under the age of 5.

He was an alcoholic and we never had a great relationship with him. My sister stopped seeing / talking to him 15 years ago.

I have been seeing him the entire time but when he was healthy might see him 1-4 times a year not totally sure but we were not super close.

He was a hard person to deal with and be around so that was part of it but you always hope things will improve.

The last 5 years he has been sick and I have visited way more often and helped out with things appointments and such.

When he was figuring out his will he asked if he should put my sister in it and I told him it was up to him.. he said because she doesn't talk to me I won't.

He has never had much financially so did not expect to get much. Turns out he had some life insurance and the sum of money is larger than expected but not huge.

mistakenly I told my mother how much.. We are very close and I am open and tell her more information then I should. She has been weird about money in the past as well.

Before knowing the amount she never said anything about giving some to my sister.

The frustrating thing is he just passed I am not even thinking about the money and on the 4th or 5th day after she made a comment about sister getting 50%.

She brought it up again today basically saying she deserves 50% and she raised me to do the right thing and she should get 50% of the money. Also mentioning basically it will sour our relationship if she doesn't


Unsure how to feel since finding out the dollar amount she is now kind of blackmailing me to give 50% to my sister.

I was going to give some money to my sister probably not 50%. But my mom states she is entitled to 50% and also saying because my sister works minimum wage job etc. Unsure if I am being selfish or not just kind of angry she is demanding I do it.

any thoughts or opinions on the matter? sorry for the long read
