You will have to also give up the anger at losing your "inheritance". You can't inherit anything until the person is dead, and until that time the stuff is yours in no way whatsoever. Many families have been damaged by heirs thinking possessively about parental assets. That kind of thinking will only make your father's situation worse since your anger will become another problem for him. Fortunately for my family, our parents had almost nothing valuable enough to make any of us wish they would hurry up and die so we could inherit it all.
