SW - I found out this morning that my step-dad had died on Jan 2nd. He had been ill for a while and no-one bothered to tell me until a week after he had died. He had been apparently talking about me quite a bit but I haven't been in touch with him for a very long time out of respect to my youngest sister.
WE- sister is still bitter about it all so wasn't sure why younger brother wouldn't be.
Have told my eldest brother and he said he couldn't stand the man and doesn't know how to feel about it either.
