I'm so mad I'm so mad I'm so mad

[Pinot's Mom]

I cannot post this anywhere but here, because FB is too public....I'm so mad!!! My husband's sister and her husband have been leading him around by the nose for ten years. They promised at the beginning of the year to make it stop, they've had meetings planned for the last eight months to report on the progress, and today they finally met. THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF MAKING THIS MADNESS END!!

Short version-some of you I think know...family house co-owned by three siblings since parents deceased...in NC, 7 1/2 hours away, we have no desire to have anything to do with said house, nor have we - ever. We have said since day one we want it sold or to be bought out. The 'market is not right' has been said forever. WHO CARES??? WE DIDN'T BUY IT!!! We just want to be out of a business deal with people we don't trust! They say they're going to lose money - HOW CAN YOU LOSE MONEY WHEN YOU DIDN'T BUY IT???

They said they would write a check and buy us out - again. The meeting today revealed, once again, THEY LIED. They have no intention of doing what they promised - AGAIN!!

I try not to have the capacity to hate, but these two are making it very difficult. Oh, and by the way, they say we're greedy because we want the money. NO, IDIOTS, you're just controlling (they're the 'managers' of this beach house) a financial aspect of our lives and we don't trust you!!

Thanks for the rant....

UGH - that sucks. What a lousy position to be in, and it's not even your doing!

I'm glad my parents didn't have a whole lot to leave. Dad passed and the house went to Mom (in Jamestown). She sold it and moved down here and bought a mobile home and put on my property. By the time that she passed, there wasn't enough left to fight over - not that my brothers would have anyway.

My ex's parents left everything (quite a lot is an understatement) to their youngest child and only daughter. She didn't even need it, as she was married to an Army officer with rank, had no kids, and they were living very comfortably. It seems the parents forgot about their 6 sons, and at least half of them who could have used a little help. But far be it from me to speak up - I was only a relative by marriage.....

Anyway - isn't there some way that Coop could legally force their hand?

Maybe Coop could get the 20 minutes free advice from a lawyer or a mediator? I don't think the other two know what they are doing, literally...so maybe a mediator would help.

Got any lawyer friends that could help out?

Rant read and acknowledged. I have no advice, but just know we do care!

Unfortunately I think these two know EXACTLY what they're doing. My husband and his brother (the 3rd sibling) have allowed this crap to continue for entirely too long. Neither of the brothers wants to be in this (#3 lives in UTAH - he really has no interest). The relationship between my husband and his sister is gone. The biggest casualty is the family. His sister's husband is an opportunist and a shyster (is that a word?) who has taken this family for a ride.

That is crappy!

Can you sue them?

I hope karma bites them in the butt, big and soon!
