Father of Mine........

I've always been a Daddy's girl...but I guess that has changed.

A little background on the situation:

I was given a packet with SSN, passwords & asked to be the executor of his multi-million dollar estate about a year or so ago.

Also, my father & Andy are best friends. The go on trips together, talk on the phone, email, you name it. When I announced I would be the one filing divorce, my Dad immediately got upset and said I was making the worst mistake in my life. Since the decision has been made, my father has been talking to Andy & giving Andy advice.

He has not been speaking to me. Not an email or phone call. I'm divorcing my husband and becoming a single mother of two. I just had a car accident that really messed me up. It's really been hurting my feelings, but I thought he just needed some time to get used to the idea. But now I really wonder if he knows what he is doing... maybe he is fully aware that when he speaks with Andy and gives him advice, he is actually hurting me.

This is the email he sent me:

Based upon your upcoming changes, I would like for you to please return the packet of your Mother’s and my personal information. I would certainly not have been concerned with you sharing that information with your spouse, and I believe that I encouraged you to do that, but since you have chosen to dissolve that relationship, I would like that packet returned. No need to make a special trip, but please return to your Mother by this weekend. I do not assume that I would need to ask, but please do not make a copy of this sensitive information.

We had also ask that you be executor of our will, and after further review, we believe that both you and the estate would be better served by hiring an attorney to handle the estate, and that is what we plan to do. Just wanted you to know this so as not to be surprised later. This is not being done as any kind of vindictive act towards you, but as a more efficient way of resolving our estate with the least amount of work for you or Lindsey

  

Thank you
Daddy

  *I had a car accident last Wednesday night. I have not been to work since because I was hurt so bad. He sent this to my WORK address because he hasn't spoke to me to know that I am out of work. So now multiple people at work have been able to read this message  

*He obviously doesn't trust me...not sure if it is because he thinks I am crazy to

leave Andy or he thinks I am unstable....not sure of which 

*Lindsey (my sister) and I are co-executors, but one of us had to have the FINAL SAY if disagreements had come up. That was me. He also didn't ask Lindsey for her copy of the paperwork back.

I'll admit...this one knocked the wind out of me. Who chooses a son-in-law over
their own daughter?!

Such a slap in the face.
