AITA for making a scene after finding out my late husband’s family has been hiding my inheritance from me?

I am 26 now and was married to my husband. We had a tiny little wedding, and he asked his parents not to come because he wanted to keep it intimate. He promised me he told them not to come, and I trusted him. The day of our wedding his parents actually did come, but they left without speaking to anyone, not even my husband. I asked him about it, and he said they were angry that he didn’t invite them. Two years after we got married, my husband got into a car accident. He had no life insurance, and his family cut me off completely. They wanted to take possession of his things, and they were angry when they found out I already had them. <br><br>All of this made me believe that he hated me. His family’s anger made me feel so guilty and ashamed. I cut them off eventually and moved away.<br><br>We were married for 6 years. I am now in a happy relationship with someone else, and am expecting a baby. My husband’s sister just emailed me. She apologized for how they treated me, and said she wanted to be in touch eventually, but she was too upset to speak with me. She wants us to be friends now and apologized for the way she and her parents acted. She told me that my husband called her up a month before he died and he demanded to know why they didn’t come to his wedding. He was angry with them and told them not to contact him until he was ready. He also asked her to delete the email he sent asking them not to come. She said she did it because she didn’t want to make her parents angry.<br><br>I was shocked. Why would he do that? The reason I was so hurt was because I genuinely believed he asked them not to come. I felt like I was the reason they didn’t come. I emailed his sister back and asked her why she didn’t tell me that her parents wanted to come to the wedding, but she didn’t respond. I just let it go and told her I didn’t want to talk to her.<br><br>She came to my house to see me. And she told me her parents wanted to come, but my husband didn’t want them to come. He told her he wanted to keep it intimate and he told his parents not to come. She said they were angry and wanted to come anyway. She said she didn’t want to tell me the truth because she was afraid that would make her parents angry. She said she eventually forgave her parents for how they treated her and understood it wasn’t her fault. She wanted us to be friends and apologized for the way they treated me. I agreed to be friends with her, and she told me more about what happened after he died.<br><br>There were $225,000 in his bank account, and they knew about it. They intended to split it among themselves, but when they found out I was his wife, and the account was actually in my name, they were angry. They tried to bully me into giving it to them, but she said she didn’t want to take money that was rightfully mine. She said she wanted us to be friends, but that wasn’t the main reason she wanted to talk to me. She said her parents were struggling financially now and wanted my help. I was shocked. Why should I help them? She said her mother and father each owed $50,000 and she owed $15,000. <br><br>I was so angry. How could she do this? They acted like they hated me, and now they wanted me to bail them out? I told her that the money was mine. I didn’t owe them anything. They took everything from me. I told her that the money was mine, and I didn’t owe them anything. They took everything from me. I told her to leave, and she got angry. She said she wasn’t asking me for money. She said she was asking me for a loan. She wanted me to lend her father $50,000 and her mother $50,000 and then $15,000 for her. And she promised that they would pay me back. She acted like they were entitled to that money. She said they should have it and it was their money anyway. <br><br>I said no. I said they were acting like they were entitled to that money when they didn’t deserve it. I acted like they were trash when I had inherited the money and they had nothing. She said her father was struggling with health issues and the money would help him greatly. She said her mother was worried about going bankrupt and would lose all of her assets. And she was struggling with her studies because of student loans debt. But they expected me to give it to them like it was nothing.<br><br>I said no. She got angry. She said I was selfish not to help them. I got angry and I asked her what they had done for me. How could she ask me for help when they treated me so badly? She said they just wanted the money. She said it was rightfully theirs anyway. I was furious. I had been loyal to my husband until the day I died. I took care of him. I gave up my job to take care of him. I gave him my love and my honesty and my loyalty. I gave him my life. I sacrificed everything for him. I gave up my job, my school, my entire life. I gave up everything for him. I loved him till the day he died. And this was how they treated me? <br><br>He loved me. He loved me till the day he died. But his family treated me like trash. They acted like they hated me. And now they wanted my money? Now they wanted to borrow money from me? How could they ask me for that when I had given them my life? I gave them my love. I gave them my loyalty. I gave them my life. And now they asked me for money? How could they do that? How could they treat me so badly?<br><br>I got angry. I yelled at her. I told her she could leave. She said fine and left.<br><br>AITA for yelling at her?
