I have a big secret that I have not told anyone. My dad passed away a couple months ago. He was a humble and frugal man, who had been saving money without telling anyone, I know he never wanted me and my sisters to be spoiled. So this is what I found out: My dad left me about $11million, and my sisters don't know about it. I'm feeling really mixed up about it. On one hand, I'm happy because it's a lot of money and it means I don't have to worry about money anymore. But on the other hand, I feel guilty because I'm keeping this big secret from my family. My dad didn't tell me why he left all this money just to me, but I think it's because he felt I was the only responsible one. Every day, I think about whether I should tell my siblings or keep it a secret like my dad wanted. It's hard because I want to be honest with them, but I also want to respect my dad's wishes. This secret makes me feel like there's a wall between me and my family. what should I do?

My parents split up in August of 2018. I was so mad at him for everything he did to me and my family, including my mom. He chose hard drugs, and to cheat on my mom with her childhood bestfriend. I texted him once in a while, because I was 15 and I wanted to make sure my dad knew I didn’t hate him. Then I cut off contact with him after seeing him again in December and hugging him for the last time. I was never able to see him. In March 2021, (my room was right beside the front door) I took a nap at 6pm and woke up at 8pm, to the front door being opened and my mom talking at the door, my grandma was crying and my siblings were upstairs. I was so confused and my grandma comforted me while crying, I asked her if my dad was dead. She said “yes my girl.. he killed himself..” I was in shock at first and I let out the most blood curdling cry. I regret not talking to him. I believe that it’s my fault he’s dead, because I didn’t talk to him. I have the last message he sent to me, and I read it almost every day. I wish I could have done something to save him. Maybe I could have stopped him.
