This is what we like to call “pullin’ a fast one!”

And you’ll see what I’m talking about when you dive in to this story from Reddit’s “Pro Revenge” page.

Check out what happened below!

“But what about the inheritance!”

“This is a long old story involving my mum’s aunt that’s been circulating since my Mum’s mum (my Grandma) passed away.

Note to this story, I will refer to them as my aunt and uncle as it’s the only names I’ve known them as and this is an important note on why money ruins families.

It was a different time…

My grandma was the result of her parents having *** before marriage when it was not acceptable which forced my great grandparents to get married.

Growing up there was a LOT of resentment to my grandma and a large amount of abuse which did carry over to my grandma’s brother who was the golden child and I know as uncle. My grandma was pretty much told as soon as she was old enough she needed to get married so she’d no longer be their problem.

As soon as my grandma turned 18 she got married into her own abusive marriage where instead of beatings, he was an intoxicated loser who took all her money and her parents didn’t care. As soon as my grandma left him she as left with nothing and had to go home to her parents’ beatings instead.

These people were pretty sick…

During this time in her life her own parents make it aware that once she was married she was her husband’s problem and had changed their wills so the only person getting any money should they die would be Uncle.

My grandma is upset but accepts it anyway.

10 years later my grandma is remarried to my grandfather who treats her right but they struggle to get pregnant whilst her brother is married to his wife who is gloating that each time my grandparents come home after having a stillborn she has a perfectly healthy baby with each nursery for said child paid for by both grandparents.

Just after the last gloat my grandma gives birth to my mum and both Uncle and Aunt worry about the inheritance after Great Grandfather’s health takes a swan dive.

She got the shaft again.

Great Grandfather passes away and apart from a cheap pocket watch my grandma gets, she’s left out of the will or any money given whilst uncle is literally gloating about how he can now afford his dream house. My grandma cuts a large amount of contact out through the amount of hurt they are causing.

Fast forward now 15 years and my great grandmother’s health is in real decline and Uncle and Aunt are talking about divorce as they had spent the money Great Grandfather had left them and her own parents’ money.

My grandparents were freaking out at this point about her declining health and making sure she’s not in pain whilst Aunt openly says she hopes she does pass away as she needs cash.

You said it…

Yup. Classy people.

Anyway Great Grandmother before she passes away tells my grandmother that she hadn’t wished to change her will to leave her out but had been forced to and handed her a wad of money telling her that whilst she wishes my grandmother had a better mother she had been the biggest mistake in her life.

My grandma got her final happy moment with her mother but also a kick in the hoo-hah. My aunt and uncle hadn’t been there at all so when they finally show up they are taking claim to items and saying “nothing must leave the house until the will is sorted”.

These people just don’t stop!

Here comes part of the title. My grandma is the only one to try and sort out some sort of funeral for her and hoped the will would allow her some cash to bury her but as you’ve guessed it already Aunt and Uncle make it clear they are in charge of the will and anything to be passed around.

They take charge of the funeral pretty much shoving my grandmother out and to add insult to injury shortly after the service they inform my grandma that she had been left nothing in the will and how great gran hadn’t bothered to include her for anything at all.

Just a general note here, my mum during the service had gone to my great grandma’s house and had broken in to take a couple of items she knew my grandma wanted which was two photo albums, a few small rings and two small statues so my grandma actually gained some items from it all.

My grandma did try to see if she could fight them to get anything but pretty much gave up and just cut complete contact with them especially after they refused to attend her own husband’s funeral.

So fast forward to a giant time skip to 2009.

I’m 10 going on 11 with no idea really who Aunt and Uncle apart from they send us a Christmas card once a year and occasional birthday card but my grandmother’s health is really deteriorating.

My grandma pretty much knew her time was up and had spoken more openly on her upbringing, her family life and who uncle and aunt were.

Turns out Uncle had tried to reconnect when Aunt left him once again over money problems but since himself and Aunt had reconciled my grandma left him to his own death sentence but uncle knew my grandma’s health had really gone downhill once again.

Anyway, my grandma happens to suffer a stroke at 78 and along with having diabetes and being pretty much blind my grandma knows her time was coming to an end quicker than we all wanted to accept.

She had a request…

She made my parents aware that under no circumstances we are to accept Aunt and Uncle into our lives as Aunt had been trying to call her more often under the impressions wanting to ensure my grandma had a will.

Shortly after my grandma returns from rest care my Uncle visits her and attempts to pressure her into changing her will to ensure he is made in charge as in his opinion “mum will not cope with the pressures of planning your funeral and sorting out the house sale”.

My grandma had apparently agreed and was only stopped from doing so when she asked my dad to take her to an appointment to change the will. She told my dad her master plan and my dad takes her to the appointment.

Fast forward to the end of August and my grandma’s health rapidly declines in 24 hours to the point she was happy and healthy to being in the back of an ambulance.

She is rushed to hospital and manages to survive another 24 hours before she passes away.

My mum had informed uncle and aunt of my grandmother’s condition but they refuse to visit at all. And this sends my mum into meltdown that she was alone in the world with two young children having to cope with planning a funeral.

Three days later is actually the first time I meet Aunt and Uncle in the flesh. They wanted to visit to discuss my grandma with my mum.

Now this is a little blurry to me however I do remember my uncle being sad about her passing away and he did play with mine and my sisters Lego blocks with me and my sister whilst Aunt did question into why grandma had passed away so soon and also if we knew if there was any cash left to them.

These people had no shame…

My mum whilst upset answered as many questions as she could before forcing them out as they were upsetting her further.

So my grandma’s funeral had to be set so it would either be held on my birthday or my aunt’s son’s birthday which are two days apart, my parents had to choose aunt’s sons birthday as they didn’t really want it to be on their oldest daughters birthday.

This set a bad mood for the day as they tried to inform Aunt and Uncle of this news but had been ignored completely. The service was held and before it could even start my Aunt is pressuring my parents to allow myself and my sister to sit with her side of the family,

My parents kept us to their side of the family and start ignoring them. After the service is when this finally blows up.

We had a small get together afterwards where people came around to celebrate my grandma’s life. A lot of her friends made big deals out of my and my sister by giving us a memory box of possessions they had that reminded them of my grandma.

This had just been given to us when Aunt starts boasting that uncle has the power of the will and they planned to take a certain amount for all the stress it caused on them.

They were in for a surprise.

Joke’s on them though my dad asks them in which copy of the will was this the case to which they reply the last copy she ever made.

See if you remember from further back up my grandma HAD changed her will with my dad being there and this is where my dad slams down the power moves, the changes had been to give my mum and dad full control, a small amount to be set aside for me and my sister and the grand total of 10p to be given to aunt and uncle.

Oh and if they contested the will, they got nothing. Nothing at all.

As you can imagine, being told that they blew their lids, swearing and upsetting the kids in the room and I remember being shuffled upstairs as my mum and dad kicked her out.

Anyway, Aunt being a creep, she contests the will and loses the grand total of 10 pounds left to her and my uncle.

My mum by then had sold off a lot of possessions she didn’t want to keep and the house sale had been pretty much finalized by the time my uncle came begging for items to remember my grandma with or to be given a small amount of money that was ‘rightfully’ his as surely his sister wanted to leave him something in the will.

My mum laughed him out of her house and that was the last time we actually saw either one of them.

Why do I write this now though?

Well turns out in 9 years of being little to no contact my uncle had passed away during the summer for us to only find out at Christmas via a Christmas card.

Don’t worry though, he was surrounded by love ones as Aunt so gracefully put it but neither of them had much money left.

For his funeral his children had to beg, borrow and steal the cash to afford his funeral and in the Christmas card they asked if we could give them some money.

My mum couldn’t say goodbye to her uncle but did get to make a lovely bonfire instead using the card.

The moral of this story is you may not get to choose your family, you do however get to choose who you call family.”
