Should I tell my stepmother I want no contact after my father's death?
A reader with a distant relationship to his father is dealing with the stepmother who is executor of the estate and coordinating funeral arrangements after his father's recent death.
Dear Eric: My parents divorced and my father remarried more than 20 years ago. My wife, our children and I would visit every year or two. The visits were cordial but fairly superficial so I did not have a strong relationship with my father or his wife.
My father passed away recently, and I have been dealing with his wife for the funeral arrangements and as the executor of his estate.
