I have never met greedy people, so it seemed to me that they do not exist in reality. I recently had to be convinced otherwise when my deceased wife’s father wanted to take half of our house from me. My father-in-law claimed that the house had been bought with his money, but in reality he had only bought us some furniture. I had bought the house with my earnings, which I had been saving up for a long time. I had to work almost around the clock to put a roof over my family’s head. I gave my wife’s father all the furniture-please. But the lot honestly belongs to me.
What kind of man is that? It is not easy enough for me to raise my son alone, and my own grandfather wants to take away my grandson’s home. I doubt that my father-in-law ever loved his daughter and loves his grandson. I am amazed at how you can take up the division of property immediately after the death of your only daughter, this is abnormal behavior. On the official level my father-in-law has no chance, but it is as if he does not realize how stupid and disgusting it looks from the outside. All our conversations with him did not lead to anything good: the man simply does not hear me. By the way, before the tragedy, there was nothing like that; my father-in-law and I were on friendly terms. I wouldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams how rotten a nice-looking man could be.
My family and friends tell me to ignore it and let my father-in-law’s words pass between my ears, but how is that possible? We are two grown men, so we need to find a common solution. It’s strange to watch a man twice my age who is incapable of adequate dialogue and doesn’t understand the horror of his actions. He has absolutely no respect for anyone: not for me, not for my grandson, not for my daughter’s memory.
The only person who is on my side is my wife’s own sister. She tries with all her might to calm my father down, but her attempts are in vain. Despite the fact that my wife’s sister was not able to come to an agreement with my father-in-law, I am very pleased that she supports me in this difficult situation. I now understand even more clearly the absurdity of this man’s behavior.
I am frankly tired of putting up with it all: going to dialogue, seeking meetings, being soft. If my father-in-law does not change his mind, then I will have to cut off communication, and the man will not see his grandson, if he needs a boy at all, of course. I think my spouse would support my action if she were alive. She is sorely missed…
But it’s a good thing she doesn’t see how low her father has fallen.
