A weight has been lifted....

22 Dec, 2024

It's been a long time coming and although I'm okay with the outcome, it's a sad ending....

Years ago and after my fathers passing I came into a bit of money, most of which I squandered, but some I used to invest in some property with a relative.The plan was to build a business with them on some of it, and a small home for me for when retired. But over the years this person started allowing people to use it without consulting with me, allowing camping there, etc...it has lake frontage.... then they sold off a part of their land to another relative, again without consulting me....The plans we had initially made were no longer of interest to this person, which was hurtful and confusing.We were supposed to consult one another when any decisions were made concerning the land....Them ignoring that over the years strained our realtionship, and after they had sold off one of their businesses, which made them quite wealthy, they changed even more. Money does that to some....So a number of years ago I put my parcel up for sale, which caused a strain within my entire family. Apparently whats good for the goose isn't good for the gander.I didn't consult anyone, as I owned it, and had every right to sell it if I choose, yet others didn't see it that way...Anyhow, after a lot of legal crap, and family fights, that relative recently agreed to buy my portion, and they can now shove it up their uppity ass, and I can be done with them and it....My dad would be so disappointed, and hurt, but I felt it's better to walk away and to stop fighting.Not all dreams come true and things happen for a reason......Good or bad.... My realtionship with this person is long over so this sale agreement won't solve that, but I will have peace of mind and a bit of money to invest.....This time I'm going to try and be smart with it..... Time to move on....I now believe the dumbest thing I've done was to investment with family....Never again!!
