  • Enterprise - I feel for you & know exactly how you feel.

    My brother was the one who tried to do the dirty on me 10yrs after mum passing. He admitted he'd been given the market value of the flat - he had money & I had mum's flat. However it wasn't turned over to me as I didn't foresee any problems when the time came to get him to sign. Why would I? When I came to sell it, it had obviously gone up in value & he wanted 75% of the proceeds!!!
    Half the value + rental from me!

    He admitted that he'd had the FULL value of flat 10yrs previously BUT it took over a year and lots of expense to get him to sign papers. I could have gone after him for costs £5K + cost of bridging loan BUT solicitor said that if I did that it could possibly take another year or two.

    It was an awful time, I cried myself to sleep many, many nights. We were going to emigrate, were going into partnership, everything was set up and everything collapsed. It affected both myself & hubby's health dramatically. He also stopped my dearly beloved nephew & niece coming to see me & I haven't seen either for over 10 years. I daren't try & see them as could cause problems for them & also myself as he can be a viscious b......d. Mum hadn't made a will & I gave nephew & niece from my share, enough for a deposit on a house, as I knew Mum wanted them to have that. Brother was supposed to give same amount to them?? He actually 'borrowed' this money to set up a business that failed & I don't know if they ever received a penny from him of the money mum wanted them to have. I don't think they ever did from comments made by a friend of nephews.

    Family - who'd have them!

    By the way, happy birthday to all those that I may have missed while I was fuming at my brother also deciding to believe the wrong side of the story. I have been mouldering. I have now decided to let it go and forget I ever had a brother. It is the only way I can deal with being stabbed in the back by so many people at once.

    Sorry to bring the thread down, but if I say this to my OH he thinks I am overdoing things. It is not about the money, it is about the way my family could think so little of me and say nothing about it :mad:

    Anyway, we're off for a walk shortly, might make me feel better :)
    Enterprise,
    OH had troubles with his family and like you it was not about the money, but when he finally decided to forget he had a family and move on he was so much happier.
    Hope the walk helps.
  • Afternoon all

    Having a lazy Sunday doing as little as possible.

    I've missed loads of birthdays, so happy birthday to all those who have been celebrating :beer: _party_
    ...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

    PRIDE

    There's a fork in the road, which way will you go
    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    It is awful to read on here the trouble people have had with their families.

    If we find the statements I will be delighted.

    Either way I have decided I no longer have a brother. When I read the email from the solicitor saying what my brother and her daughter had decided I felt something twist inside of me, I really cannot let that continue.

    What would be great is if I could get a book out of it. I used to write but I always find it hard to write when I am really happy, which I gave been for quite a long time (something my stepmother was desperate to change). Well, when I think about it I really won the battle of minds, stayed married and happy. Whilst I am not unhappy now I think I may well try to harness the frustration and anger if it does not just go away.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
