Dad Left Everything to Brother After I Cared for Him 6 Years

For 6 damn years I’ve put my life on hold for my dad, I truly loved him this isn’t just about money, I thought he was my best friend.

6 years ago my parents got into a devastating car accident where my mom died and dad got paralysed from the neck down, back then I was 22 and fresh out of college while my only brother was 33 married and with three kids. At first we had a home nurse with dad but after an incident he didn’t trust them anymore and they wanted me to take care of him and he’d provide for me so I accepted because I loved him and I felt bad.

6 whole years of basically no life of my own to take care of him, sometimes my brother and sister in law would come give me breaks so I can have some personal time but they’d always make me feel like they’re doing me this huge favour.

A few weeks ago dad had a stroke and he died in his sleep which was so devastating to me, but just days later I found out he literally left everything to my older brother except some sentimental stuff to me. His reasoning? He has provided for me for the last 6 years and that my brother needed it more because he has a family and kids to support. My brother is refusing to share anything with me and I can’t contest the will because I did receive stuff.

I’m so frustrated and upset right now, I’ve spent my entire 20s stuck at home carrying for dad and taking him in the shower and bathroom and all the soul crushing stuff that comes with caregiving and he just betrayed me like that, he also left the house to my brother and he’s kicking me out in a week and a half and I literally have no place to go, I have no work experience and I can’t even find minimum wage jobs, I’ve applied to over 60 places now and nothing.

I loved dad but right now I’m so fucking mad and angry at him, he fucked up my entire life twice now. I regret ever agreeing to be his caretaker.
