Thank you for your response. You are completely correct in that pursuing this money would probably open wounds in my family, however there are some already. My mom and stepfather at odds over his losing his business and she is very bitter of his dishonesty and taking money from me that he wasn't able to pay back. Probably more bitter than I am. So my family already has a rift in it, this would probably make things worse. I don't know that I have it in my to take him to court, but I did want to know what my options were. We are currently not speaking, we have had a tumultuous relationship my entire life, and right now, the money is in the forefront of my thoughts because we aren't speaking. I really don't know what to do right now, but I do feel like I'm going to have bitter feelings regarding this for the rest of my life and I wish I knew how to fix everything. Thank you for your advice.
