My Dad Broke My Mom’s Heart When He Cheated &
Had a Baby with His Mistress — Now He Demands I Use the Inheritance Mom Left Me for My Half-Sister’s Treatment
For 25 years, I believed we had a perfect family until Mom revealed Dad’s eight-year affair and his seven-year-old daughter, Mya. Mom filed for divorce, and I supported her as she rebuilt her life, never badmouthing Dad despite her pain. Our relationship with him grew strained; I forgave but couldn’t forget. Mom’s consulting business thrived, but last year, cancer took her. She left everything to me, her loyal daughter. Months later, Dad asked for $60,000 for Mya’s rare blood disorder treatment. I refused to use Mom’s money, feeling it betrayed her legacy. Dad
demanded an answer, threatening to disown me if I didn’t help. When I said no, he cut me off, saying, “Choose your dead mother or your living sister.” Shocked, I stood firm, reminding him he chose his new family years ago. Family members called, guilting me, but I blocked them, honoring Mom’s advice against manipulation. Sitting with her coffee mug, I knew I’d protected her legacy.
