I come from a stepfamily, my sister and I both have a different dad and my brothers are my Mum and SF's. Well, my SF adopted my sister and I since niether of our fathers was really 'in the picture' so to speak. Well now he is disowning us. He has scheduled some sort of meeting in which he will officially detach him from us (basically tossing out the adoptions) and will disinherit us both from the will. Why? Well this is where it gets LONG and interesting. Now one thing to know about my family is that we all grew up and worked on the family farm, especially my brothers and they have been tied to it since they could walk (i.e. no vacations, no trips, hardly any social outings, etc). *deep breath* And begin the long trek through the disowning story....

My youngest brother (YB) has always been good with finances and has always paid for almost all of his own things (i.e. his nice truck, his cell phone, his cell bills, part of the utility bill, clothes etc.), whilst the eldest brother (EB) (18) can't seem to have a penny in his pocket without wanting to spend spend spend. So YB has been insterested in quads (fourwheelers) for quite a while and has saved up the money for a downpayment on one and had been accepted for a loan. Only down side? He needed a cosigner. My mum wouldn't cosign because of SF, but really wanted YB to be able to get this quad. So my sister and her husband said they would cosign for it. Well, SF found out and went off on my sister and her hubby and said he is disowning her and her son and will be suing them for "interfering with family business" (yea right, go ahead and try it pops). Somewhere along the line during the fight MY name was brought up and how I am a screw up and a loser, and he doesn't want to be associated with me or DH because DH is a loser too. He was yelling at my mum telling her it's HER fault that I am such a f*ck up (I have a full time well paying job as does DH, and can support myself independently if needed and have never asked them for money). My sister and I are no longer welcome at HIS house, even to see our mother and as far as holidays, we are to be excluded. I guess he also went off about my mum helping to pay for my sisters wedding and my wedding (even though we each paid about 3/4 of everything).
So as of next week I will be disowned and disinherited. Everything that my mother has with this thing (no longer a man or SF to me) will go to my brothers because my sis and I are 'losers'. Eh oh well. Goes to show you that most SF/SM's aren't so bad, but some are just Satan in waiting.
