"I’m not referring to the need of government to distribute inheritance, but rather the instinct of the parent to provide such an inheritance."

So Dad bought a motorcycle and is now spending  your inheritance  his money on a hottie half his age? Look at the bright side - at his age that motorcycle (or that young piece of ass) will probably kill him before he gets old and medical bills eat up your inheritance.

You're doing well in here young man. Don't let the the outrage your (possibly misunderstood) sense of entitlement brought out discourage you. You are way ahead of where any of us were at your age. TPTB really didn't see the power for self education that the internet was going to enable and now they are going to suffer the consequences of letting your generation see the world as it actually is.

The only advice I have for you is, when the time comes make them pay and make them pay in a way that keeps them from coming back for a long damn time. Well, that and cut your Dad some slack :)

I love my father dearly. He had a father who wrote him out of his live and did his damndest to ensure that not happen to me. It’s taken me over twenty years to fully understand the anguish he suffered in his own life. I just see many of my own, in life and online, suffer from the lack of such a presence.
