22-year-old daughter sues her dad for the $100k inheritance from her mother when he and her stepmother keep it for themself to start a business: 'Our relationship was over before I moved out of his house at 18'

We always hope that our parents have our best intentions in mind, that's how a parent is supposed to be and act. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case, and with family—parents included—things can get messier and even more complicated as soon as money enters the picture. 

Seldom, if ever, in your life will you get 100k dropped on your lap, and for those who aren't scrupulous, the temptation will be great. It's easy to see how that temptation could lead you down a path you wouldn't normally walk, justifying to yourself that you can make it work.

But stealing from your own kid, especially stealing the money that her late mother left her, is a new type of low. Robbing her past and her future in one fell swoop. It's understandable that this could lead to bad feelings between the girl and her parent, as she's paying the price for their poor financial choices. Using the half-siblings as a shield is merely a poor and dirty way of deflecting from their own choices and responsibility.
