Thanks for your kind words and reassurances. I think I am doing better today. It was late and I needed to let the anxiety and fear out, but didn’t want to disturb my loved ones and make them worry as well. I know I don’t post often and took a long sabbatical after the struggles of first opening this site back in its Chapo.chat days, but Grandma Posadas has always been checking in on her dear comrades!
I mentioned terrible family news and it’s that my harpies aunt’s had been relentlessly and maliciously suing their brother, my dad, for the past several years over the inheritance of the mother. It’s a whole.family drama that honestly I think I should write a book about. And in a ruling that I think was even a shock to the Plaintiffs, the judge ruled 100% in favor of them.
As such my dad now has to give over all of the inheritance, a modest fortune but not a lot, as well as the $600,000 the aunts wasted on this stupid neverending lawsuit. They are trying to figure out what to do, whether or not to appeal. For him defending himself was never about the money, but to prove that he was a good son to his dying mother. He alone was the one making sure her last years were as comfortable and safe as possible and it was us the family his mother constantly spurned, who gave her the love and the affection she needed before she passed on, something that she honestly did not deserved, but got. That’s just the way my family is.
My dad was and is still planning on retiring from his job this year, the day he turns 70, and although this judgement can’t touch his house or retirement fund, many things like his car and the collection of vintage Italian and Japanese racing bikes that he restores as a hobby could all be taken away from him. Even things like furniture or other assets can be asked to be sold off to pay the judgement. Plus it’s going to mess up how he was going to spend his retirement with my mom, travelling in a RV across the country with their lifelong friends. Not to mention how it will make it harder for them to be able to support my sister who is a few months away from having her first child and with me and my healthcare.
I don’t know why I’m posting this, maybe I just want people to know about the grave injustice that has been done. At least it has convinced my mom that the justice system in this country is absolutely broken.
If you’re intrigued by family drama, feel free to ask questions and I’ll answer best I can without giving away enough to find where I live!
Xoxo Miss B. Posadas.
