From: Peggy Siegal O> Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2015 5:50 AM To: jeevacation@gmail.com Subject: Mattie Siegal As one of my bi-annual visits, I took her to dinner tonight at The Polo Bar... Mattie then came up to my apartment, I thought to get clothes and burst int= tears wanting to know how I could be so horrible to her father. Why didn=t I just call him when our mother died to work things out. Why did I call=a lawyer? Mattie said her father had to take a second mortgage out on his house to pa= me. She cried her eyes out and said it was all her fault because he had to pay =or college education and other things for her. She is 26 now and people g=aduate from college at 21? How long do they pay for college. She went to S=idmore for two years then lived with me and went to Hunter. She seemed to have no idea that I had been cheated out of money by both my =other and brother. When she tried to blame my mother, I gently told her m= mother gave her father money because her father ASKED for it. I patiently tried to explain that I was legally untitled to half of my fath=r's estate and that for her entire 26 years, which is the same 26 years si=ce my father's death...that my mother gave me virtually nothing while supp=rting my brother (and his family). She said she was a child and knew not=ing of this. She said her father is the most loving and devoted father in the world. A w=nderful person. I told her that was true but we were missing some information because I did='t think he could make a good living. I said he took money from our mothe= that was meant for me...that as wonderful a person he is, he is a thief. =20 She said he is unaware of any wrong doing and is so hurt that he will never=speak to me again. Why did I do this to her family? She said if and when she gets married, her father will not let her invite m= to the wedding. She has been dating a lovely guy for five years, who is =dorable, a photographer and will never make a living. I am dreading the da= she marries him. The whole scene was so heartbreaking. She tried to give me the impression h=r father thought he had not done nothing wrong. She was devastated and co=fused. The idea that in a family a man and a women, a brother and a sister, legall=, socially, emotionally are to be treated equally was something she had no= thought thru. I think she wants me to fix this...which is a tall order. It broke my heart to see her cry and cry. She told me this is why she only=sees me a few times a year...and that her father has never said not to see=me. What a night. Your thoughts?
