Family relationships can become much more complicated when money is involved, such as in the case of inheritance.

It is insane how tables turn over night and brothers become enemies.

These loving siblings turned into enemies after their dad died. It’s a feud about a car, and the truth is a well kept secret.

Let’s read all the details.

AITA for siding with my husband in a family feud over inheritance?

I never thought I’d be caught in the middle of a family feud, but here I am.

I’m married to John (not his real name) the younger of two brothers.

The trouble started when their father passed away, leaving behind some money and the contents of the house/car.

It’ll add up to a reasonably tidy chunk.

The terms and conditions were always laid out…

The will was clear: everything was to be split equally between John and his older brother, Mark.

Their Mum died when the boys were teens.

While clearing out the house Mark noticed that the car was missing and accused John of it.

John swore he had nothing to do with it, but Mark wouldn’t listen.

This is where things got heated up!

The tension between them escalated, and soon enough, they were at each other’s throats, both figuratively and literally.

Problem is, a few months before their father passed away, he had secretly sold the car and lent the money to me and John to help us through a tough financial period.

It was a sizeable amount, and we were paying it back each month.

We didn’t want Mark to know that we’d borrowed this money because it’s private.

She and John saw their dad more than Mark did.

Point to note – me and John were really close to his Dad, we lived near him and visited him often, took him shopping etc. I used to cook for him most nights.

Mark and his Dad weren’t as close – Mark lives a couple of hundred miles away and only saw his Dad every three months or so.

Things got out hand!

One night, the argument reached its peak.

Mark showed up at our house, demanding that John return the car.

John, already frustrated and hurt by the accusations, refused to back down.

The shouting match quickly turned into a physical fight, with both brothers throwing punches and insults.

I tried to intervene, but it was like trying to stop a hurricane with a paper towel.

After the fight, Mark stormed off, vowing to take legal action against John.

They were in a vulnerable spot…

I was left to pick up the pieces, both literally and emotionally.

John is devastated, not just by the fight, but by the fact that his own brother would think so little of him.

Now, I’m stuck in the middle.

She is unsure about the future…

Mark’s wife, Emily, has been calling me non-stop, trying to get me to convince John to apologize and return the car.

Emily thinks I’m being unreasonable and that I’m only making things worse. She has no idea about the secret transaction, and I can’t bring myself to reveal it.

I’ve tried to persuade John to tell Mark about the loan, but he’s refused.

AITA for siding with my husband and not revealing what has actually happened to the car?

GEEZ! That sounds rough!
