![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 24 “จาร์เร็ด vs กุสตาโว”](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ENNA-fsT67c/mqdefault.jpg)
Happen to me. My husband was hit and killed. I sued the trucking company and wow the people that came out of the wood work. His sisters wrote letters to my attorney and the judge explaining how I wouldn't spend the money the right way. In the end they left the court room pissed off. Our grown children received part of the settlement and I paid for his funeral and paid our home off. One sister received 300 dollars for a battery she said her brother owed her.. well I haven't talked to them in 15 years. They started it. I finished it.
Moral of the story is...."never" hand over any kind of power to anyone, "never" give anyone keys to your house, a Will speaks a thousand words.
my dads wife did the same thing but with a twist. i was in a car accident at 17 broke my neck back and ripped my face open but to top it off it caused a stroke. it was my dads car i was driving so it was his insureance. his wife replaced me with her two kids in his life she ultimately pushed my father to suicide 4 years later and sold everything including everything i had at his house because "it was abandoned property and i haven been there in so long, she turned my bedroom into her closet. life insureance doesn't cover suicide so she needed the money. a year after that i got the car insurance settlement which she tried to sue me for claiming it was her money because the policy was in her husbands name when i said the money was paid to me because i was the one injured and permanently disabled she threw out all these high school drama romors about how i was sleeping with my best friends mom when i served her with slander she tried to claim insureance fraud when that failed she was ordered to pay all my legal fees including the personal injury lawyers bill of $200,000 and was given a no contact order
looking back i noticed a pattern with this woman married 3 times never took the husbands last name they all died by suicide in less than 5 years of marrage. she was already bar hopping between pulling the plug on my dad and the funeral. a 3 time widow bar hopping at 52 years old days after her third husband died really isnt a good look
To my great sorrow I learned just how greedy "Family" can be when my grandmother passed. I was 11 years old. She left me a collection of dolls, not worth much at all. My aunt swooped in and grabbed them and also things left to other family members. It was a hard education for a young child about greed and the ugly side of life
My Grandmother and I share same month birthday,,,, she raised me, I lived with her most of my life, She wanted me to inherit her big Alexandrite Ring,,, it was bought in the 60’s,,,, Real Russian Alexandrite not the Lab created ones of today… it was the size of a quarter , round and beautifully cut,,,,, Well she passed in 85,,,, my cousin tried to say she was the inheritor,,,, My Uncle said she was buried with it,,,, but he was greedy so I imagine he kept it now he passed so maybe his son has it,,, that’s ok by me…. I always remember that and I decided if you want someone you love to have something of yours give it to them WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE,,,,,, because they might not get it.
Once your adult children are on their own, especially if they were married at the time of their death, parents have no claim to anything unless they are only surviving relative and the person deceased had no one else to leave things to… simple but you get it
My dads family did the same thing to us. Then at a funeral everyone took time to come around and tell me and my dad separately why everything went to other people. It was awful because we hadn’t even asked about anything, they just assumed we were as greedy and grabbing as they were. It made me sick and sad that no one thought we might want something to remind us of them, not even the things from their wills, what hadn’t been changed by pressure at least 😢
I was 19 when my mother passed everyone was dressed in white except for Me and they stole all the plants and packed off all the food...smdh I plan on leaving each and everyone of them money that will be donated to charities in thier name with a video which will be played of me laughing... this makes me feel so good...
My mother went back to work when I was six weeks old. The woman who kept me became very close. When she died I became her heir. Her family tried to rob me blind. I was maybe 15 years old. We let it go. Glad you got the boys' things.
They literally STOLE from your children. That's unforgivable. They claimed to love your wife and kids, but people that love people don't STEAL from them.
Seriously like I would think that her own kids would want the photo books, the jewelry and such
@@jenicdarling9425 , They chose to play stupid games and lose it all.
The jewelry, how much you wanna bet that they aren't heirloom and they just wanted them to pawn them off for cash
@@anthonyrowlodge5357 I was wondering that myself like waiting for op to say something like I got her that necklace for Christmas! They used the wife dying to get a big payday, can’t believe they tried to claim her life insurance for themselves, thinking they were entitled to it instead of her own f#%king children!
Op should keep them away from their kids I mean no doubt after what happen op’s wife would be disgusted & shocked by them and want that too. But if he won’t cut them out of his kids lives then he needs to tell his kids everything because he needs to warn them about their true colors. Once the boys turn the age that they can access the money in their trust u better believe they all will come crawling outta the woodworks with some sob story with their hands out and fake promises of paying it all back. Op should tell them if they’re gunna loan them money then make them sign a legal contract and only give them a amount they would be ok with losing.
Kidnapped not steal
holy ... , my family swooped in after dad died exactly like vultures
I am an only child. My Dad died first due to being a smoker and an alcoholic. My Mother lived for another 20 years. She and I were close, but after I got married-divorced-and remarried, we did not talk as much. I lived 500 miles away. My oldest Son told me that he was going to move in with my Mother to help her catch up with property taxes, and save on rental payments. I told him that I thought that was a bad idea, but he did it anyway. After they had been living there for a year and a half, he and his wife went to get groceries along with their 3 kids. When he came home, there was a Sheriff there, and told him that he could not go inside. He said, "I live here!" The Deputy said, "not any more."
They went to live with friends, and he called me and told me what happened. I was a little shocked, but reminded him that I advised against moving in to begin with.
Mother called the next day and asked me if I had heard what happened. I told her that I had indeed heard. She then asked me what I thought about it. I answered, "I think that it is the dumbest thing that you have ever done!" She then said, "Well, now I know what you think!" She then promptly hung up. Those were the last words that I ever heard from my Mother.
A couple of months later I was contacted by the Hospital that my Mother had experienced a brain-stem stroke.
Since I was the only one left alive that was related to her, I had to make the medical decisions about her continued care. She died a while later, and in the final jab at me, she left in her will that all of the picture albums and other stuff that would mean something only to me, were to be given to a friend of hers.
This was not the woman that raised me, I suspect that she had been having these mini strokes for a long time, and they changed her personality. This all happened over 40 years ago. One other thing, when my Son caught up on the back taxes, (which I knew nothing about), he put his name on the deed to the house. So, at least he got something from his Grandmother, although not by her wishes.
I am now 75 years old, and I still think about our last conversation. It is not a pleasant memory, but it is what it is.
My widowed aunt died without any children of her own, but there were several of us that she considered 'her children'. She had charge of ALL the family heirlooms. She had asked each of us what we wanted, and put our names on the object, and then made a list, not a will, just an itemized list. Several people even told her they didn't want anything, they really weren't interested in any of it. While she was in the hospital, (and at that point they thought she could possibly recover), somebody went into her house and picked it clean. Everything of any monetary value, and a lot that was just sentimental, like portraits, family bibles, costume jewelry, all disappeared. It had to be someone who knew what they were after and where it was, because no mess was made, and all the items missing were heirlooms, nothing else was touched. We never did find out who did it, nobody ever owned up to it. Those of us who were to get the portraits even put out the word all through the family that if they would just take the portraits to the photographer in town and have copies made, we would pick up and pay for our copies, and they did not have to give the photographer their name, they could put the order in our names, it would be totally anonymous. We asked that the genealogy pages in the bibles be photocopied, and they could be left in the mailbox at my aunt's house, again totally anonymous. Never happened. I did find one of the family portraits in a pawn shop one day, they had sold it for the price of the antique frame, and the owner didn't have a record of the sale, since it wasn't a 'valuable or rare item'.
When I was a kid (mid '60's), I was admiring an old set of encyclopedias at my grandmother's house, about gardening. When she passed, I got that. Everything else was grabbed and taken, and my aunt and her family descended on the house like locusts. Joke was on them. The set was the PERSONAL set written by Luther Burbank, the famous plant geneticist. Every page had handwritten notes by him. Literally priceless, and the only set of it's kind. I sold them to the University of Illinois Ag Science department for $30,000....and this was 40 years ago.
My daughter went through this when my ex died. Her mom had a stroke while I was out west working and could not come back to help. While her mom was in the hospital her aunts came down to the state my daughter and her mom lived in and tried to clam they had medical control over their sister, even thro my daughter was around 40 years old and a only child. They also tried to push their religion as to how her treatment should be controlled. Her mother lasted for months with the sisters still pushing their wishes. After her mom's death they tried to control the funnel and showed up at my daughter's and her mom's house and demanded to be let into the house so that they could take what they wanted, even with a will that gave every thing to my daughter. They also tried to demand to control how the remains were dealt with and where they would stay.
Did that family realised that they were stealing from her children? Some family indeed ! I would be very careful whether to continue that relationship. OP is very forgiving…
Automatic no contact for the thieves.
They knew what they were doing. They are just colossal piles of shit
Oh, the family DID realise it....but the mad hunger for money and greed is what really came to the forefront. I work in healthcare, and you would be surprised as to how families act...especially where money is concerned.
I'm sure they didn't care since it seems like they were trying to also steal the boys too.
They can set him up with lies to take his child.
Yeah my cousin passed in a car accident before his 18th birthday. His mother had to have absolutely everything. All pictures anything he had given the family as gifts, absolutely everything. But karma settled everything by a house fire . She lost it all and no one had anything left to help her with her loss
Aint Karma a HUGE BITCH..All due to HER GREED.
If one of the family members had been me, I would have politely said no. Don't like it, too bad.
Wait she took gifts that he gave away to people?! She’s not entitled to it, it’s not even his. When u say no one had anything left to help her with the loss do u mean anything they had left of his or any money to help with her house or living situation?
That's not even her place to take gifts he gave away! Other people are grieving, and those gifts would probably help. If she hadn't done that, people would've had at least one thing from him for give to her.
@@jenicdarling9425 , the answer is yes to everything. Think as a possessive disorder. The mom wanted everything connected to her son, gifts and photos. She did not care about other people may want to keep a reminder of him. Most probably just gave back to keep peace but resented giving back.
Some may have kept photos , but whom would want to admit holding back photos by giving her copies now. that would be more drama.
Those monsters don't deserve any relationship with OP's kids, and they are so toxic they are a danger to those kids.
Fine line between helping family unconditionally and being a complete doormat
Omg! Right! He still didn't learn shit!
The doormat part comes when 'unconditionally' is a factor. No relationship should ever be unconditional, be it family, romantic, professional, etc. There may be a lot you can put up with, but there should always be a line and you should know where it is.
@@djdomain You can love unconditionally - but that doesn't mean you have to roll over and just take it. You can love someone and still refuse to do what they demand.
I really wish people would not use the term unconditionally. It does not exist. Maybe I'm just being picky about wording but there is nothing that can happen that changing the circumstances around it will not change the outcome. I.e. Changing conditions changes results there is nothing that occurs in nature or in personal relationships where this does not apply. The phrase unconditional love is meaningless since in order to stand it must allow for statements like "I love thee brother but where you are standing I am going to shoot". A flippant answer sure but there are always situations that will force you to act in am manner that means any love you may bear is moot.
I made that mistake and paid dearly for it. Family and money don’t mix. They are very upset when I speak of it, they hate the truth .
My late husband's family were exactly like Suzanne's family. Came and took everything (even stuff of mine they suspected of being his). Loaded everything into the truck his dad gave him and hauled it away while I was tending to other things - or trying to. His dad came back asking me to get him a certified death certificate. Said it'd "be nice to have". Wth? Keeping peace, I got him a copy. Next thing I know his mom and dad are refurbishing their whole house and buying two new cars and a fifth wheel, his sister is having hwe new house built to order, and his brother (who lived on disability) bought a brand new home. I didn't see one red cent and had to move out and sell our home, jobs weren't paying well in 1992. Kinda sounds like his family had a big hidden insurance policy on my husband's life, don't it?
I remember the first part from another channel. I didn't realize there was a further sh*tshow that the poor guy had deal with after losing his wife. Glad he had a friend/lawyer who was willing to help him fight the vultures to the bitter end.
This is one of the saddest, most heartbreaking things Ive ever heard😫
This was an incredible story. Being widowed does make you cling to the places and items that the couple shared and loved. This family were horrendous. Well done to OP for changing into a real daddy bear and protecting his sons.
Is he? or is he doing as you said and clinging to everything even those things without a direct connection to his wife Eg the watch upon which his personal claim is dubious and him legal claim is almost nil. No, this guy is acting on emotion. He had a reasonable start but now he is going to wind up hurting himself more than he hurts them.
Mama Bear
Papa Wolf
@@Snipergoat1 I think you missed the point. The idea that they said they wanted to take a few of her things and they showed up at his house and took everything of hers is just odd to start with. That's what started all of this. And I don't know why you think that his father-in-law on his deathbed, giving his wife his watch to give to her son when he graduates is suspect. If it was in Suzanne's possession, then her family had no right to take it, unless it was in her will that they have it. What the widower did was follow Suzanne's will. She wrote what she wanted each of her family members to have, and he gave them those things. I can't believe they even took a painting she did off of the wall. That's just plain strange. Yes, the OP was emotional, because his in-laws suddenly acted like they weren't his family, and acted as if his sons didn't matter. When there is a married couple and one of them dies, everything goes to the surviving spouse unless there is a will that states otherwise. So showing up there at the house when he's not home and taking absolutely everything is out of the ordinary and leaning toward illegal. Which is why they tried to get past that legal issue by saying that because he allowed them to go into the house without him being there, that that meant that he "gifted" everything to them. That should tell you right there that they knew they did the wrong thing.
@@Snipergoat1 you missed the point entirely. Her father gave her the watch on his deathbed to give to her son on his graduation. It ultimately belonged to her son, his grandson. The father absolutely had claim to it. It. The only legitimate claim to it. Obviously that's why the wife went to such a point to make a will of exactly what she wanted them to get. So there was no question later. No argument. She knew her family.
Im happy for him that he stood up for himself!!!
I'm afraid that bridge was burned with the in-laws stripped the house.
And some people become goddamned vultures when someone dies.
This sounds exactly like what my husband's mom did after he passed. It was totally ridiculous. Husband isn't even listed on his headstone like son, brother, friend and father are. She's so evil. They came into our home and took almost everything and tried to take our family dog. Left my son and I with nothing.
😢 sorry to hear that.
Since you were married they were stealing. Did you fight back? Hope you did
Hope you sued to oblivion.
"He gave us permission" He wasn't even _home._ He was at the _hospital_ with his son who was _also_ in the accident and getting _surgery_
Edit: It's so telling of how well wife knew them that she wrote out a very specific will because she knew fully well if she died they'd try to take everything and leave her husband and kids with nothing.
To be fair, cell phones exist, though that would have generated some degree of evidence.
They took "Sure, you can take a few sentimentals" as "Sure, you can clean out my house".
@@redshirt49 surprised they didn't somehow take the actual physical house while they were at it
Sadly this happens a lot when someone dies where other family will just go over their house when no one’s there to steal all the valuables and expensive stuff. But it’s usually when someone like a grandma/grandpa or mom/dad where their kids and grandkids with their families come to do it
@@jenicdarling9425 agreed, it happened when my grandmother passed. We have no tension in our family, and while the daughters and two other granddaughters didn't steal her jewelry because she said to divide it amongst the girls, it was unfairly divided and my mother and I got only a few things. It upset my mother a lot because she was the oldest and the closest to her mother, but we still got some things. And my grandmother didn't forget about me because she set aside three dainty dragonfly necklaces with different colored stones on the tails- a yellow one for me, an orange one for my very close second cousin, and a pink one for my best friend.
I know that my habit of cutting people off and ghosting is a trauma response and most likely the reason I'll die alone. But I can't imagine wanting to expose my kids to them after they did that to me during my grief.
Familia are those who live and work with you. It is a term from the Middle Ages. Familia were more important than blood relations. Find people you can trust who will not take advantage of you and build your own Familia. 'Pay forward' and you will find that you will not be alone.
me too
I do the same thing.
Felt this to the core..
@@stephaniewilson3955 if only it were that simple..
Been there had that happen to me. When grief happens in the family things get messy real quick and people do odd things. My relationship with those in my life have never been the same since and I realized I'm better off without them.
Family does for family.... UNTIL they screw you over.
Selfish family members were there for the money. How disgusting 🤢 Along with the rest of what they tried to pull, added to their disgusting behavior.
Wow his wife knew her family. Glad OP stood his ground
some families are just rotten
how could a grandma take something from her own grandson? this is crazy. my family is pretty big(youngest of 8 with 5 sisters 20+ nieces & nephews) and they can drive me crazy sometimes but if 1 person in our family tried something like this, all the rest would turn on them like a pack of wild dogs. these people are cracked!!!
His wife didn’t owe her mother and siblings an inheritance. That belongs to her own family especially the children.
There's always a bunch of vultures waiting for someone to die.
She had two children than needed the insurance money for their future with out their mom,super dad never let them forget their mother
"These are not bad people."
I agree, they're not bad people... They are fuckin' appalling people!
KUDOS to OP's Lawyer !!!
It was hard when my favorite Aunt suddenly passed away. I spent nearly every weekend with her growing up. I loved hearing our family stories she told us and tracked our family heritage. But, when clearing out her apartment, suddenly relatives I haven't seen in years showed up saying, "She said I could have This or That". I knew they were bold face lies!!! They emptied her apartment and never lifted a hand to help clean up or anything. It was horrible watching these vultures take her things and who never helped her out when she was struggling like I did. I'd have her make clothes for me just so I could pay her extra. She was an amazing person with a big heart! ❤️ After witnessing what happened to her and Others, My future plans will be to donate to Charity where it will do more good!!
That's so sweet. My aunt died last year from cancer and she knew there wasn't much time left. She gave my daughter her car. It's not a fancy vehicle but I do have other family members that feel a certain way about it. Only certain children were gifted with $ or possessions. They atleast have the decency to not complain about it though. Lol. I treasure anything of my aunts that I have and I honor her by wearing her jewelry and carrying a purse of her's whenever I take a trip so it feels like I'm taking her with me.🥰
@@doityourselfdiva6001
Wonderful how you honor your Aunt. 🙂
Personally I really like the one story with multiple updates videos. I'd love to see more of them.
More to come!
@@Mr.Reddito Great, thanks! Something to look forward to for sure!
I went through something like this. Ha to take my father in law to court. My husband committed suicide. I found him and was so upset my mom took me to the doctor to gey something to calm me down . While we were gone my in laws raided my house. They tried to get custody of my daughter. All sorts of other stuff. It was awlful. I can so relate to this guy. Thanks for sharing.
Tell me those fuckers got karma
You find out who the vultures are when there is a death in the family.
This happened to my sister, only her husband's foster mother came to clean out the house while she was in the hospital. My older sister was there because they lived together, so foster mother didn't get anything. People suck.
My step son thought it would be a "last dig" at both myself and his dad. As we weren't married, even though we were together 20 years I wasn't allowed to have anything to do with the funeral.. its been 10 years and I still don't know where my partner of 20 years ashes are 😞 I'm so happy you got back your stuff... you have a good heart
Oh my… that’s awful
what.did you do to him . where's smoke there's fire.
@@eleonoraschotsborg I actually wrote why it ended up like that but then it dawned on me, I don't owe you a explanation . Peace, out
Son is an arse but your deceased partner is worse. This is why you should never stay with someone that long if they don't plan to marry you. You have no rights or no say when things go left. He should have married you if he valued you.
@@sabir1208 exactly! You also miss out on pension and maybe even your home.
The same happened when my dad died, and I'm talking a few hours after he passed, his family came into our house and raided his home office. They took everything, safe, legal papers, money even his instruments, he was an architect. Months later they used the documents they stole to get control of our mansion. I still to this day at 41 years old get nightmares about the shit they made us go through for years. I live in America now and haven't set foot in my home country since 1999 because of the trauma.
where there’s a will, there’s a relative! i worked in a nursing home many years ago and noticed that relatives would crawl out of the woodwork that had never visited for the duration of their stay. they could have been there a decade with no visitors until the last few days of their life. normally an unmarried uncle or childless aunt but, my word, they finally remembered them when a will was involved.
Damn shame.
It’s so sad when you have a tragedy then these difficult in-laws! Glad your done with the bs!
I’m glad OP finally stepped up to them for their kids’ sake. I hope they still shame the family for what they’ve done to the boys
Definitely they’re dangerous and they stole from him.
When our father passed away, he did not have a will. My Brother and I went to a lawyer and had a document drawn up stating that we gave up any rights to his estate. Therefore, leaving everything too our mother.
I heard from my mom and her siblings that when my great grandma died my great grandpa's family, his siblings family, were there for him. BUT he found out that right after the funeral they had ransacked his house and took a lot of both his and great grandma's personal belongings.
And before mom and one of her sisters could clean out great grandpa's house many years after he passed one of their sister-in-law went through and took only the really nice items, including an old jukebox, and then sold them quickly after she and my uncle got back to their home.
Mom said there was a bit of justice in that she found the jukebox had been restored and sold for way more than the $150.00 her sister-in-law got for it. If I remember correctly it sold for between $30,000.00 and $40,000.00.
But mom, one aunt and one uncle got a huge laugh at their sister-in-law expense. The family got together at my grandma's house and sister-in-law took a couple of her grandkids, my cousins, to where great grandpas old house had stood, which was in the backyard of my grandma's house and unlived in for many years after he had died and was in the process of being torn down, to do some 'exploring' aka her looking for more goodies to sell. After awhile they all came back to grandmas house and she had quite the excited look on her face. She had something cradled in her hands and was holding it close to her body, as if to protect it. I was on the front steps with more family on the front porch and she, breathlessly and excitedly, was telling us all about the great find, a small skeleton, she and the kids came across. She had a huge smile and seemed to be barely containing her excitement.
I guess I burst her bubble when, after getting a better look at her find. I said, "Oh, that's the cat skeleton that had been laying just inside the front door for years."
She screeched and threw her arms up really fast, the skeleton went flying in a few directions and she ran into grandma's house screaming all the way to the bathroom to wash her hands from whatever germs would have been left on a decade, at least, long dead cat skeleton. Mom and her other siblings were not hiding their laughter and her younger grandkid was running around trying to collect the bones for their grandma since she had been so happy to find these possibly extinct bones which made the laughter last longer. Mom, one of her sisters and one of her brothers went over to the little kid and gently explained that his grandma would be just as happy if they gave that long dead cat a nice burial by great grandpa's old house.
It probably didn't help things later that day when one uncle would sidle up to his sister-in-law and quietly 'meow' just to watch her reaction, which was to get mad, red faced, and trying to not show it.
Sometimes paybacks take awhile to happen, but that just makes it sweeter
They only relinquished because their tails were about to get sued.
when my mom was 18 her mom died. her family took almost everything. Death changes people
I don’t trust the sister or mother in law. They are greedy, and I love the lawyer. Your a good dad. My heart goes out to you and your boys. Take care my friend
I like the one story and many updates videos. They are fascinating to watch.
I don't believe that the In Laws took Suzanne's things out of grief. I think that it was out of greed. The watch was a Rolex after all. This is a very expensive item.
It's amazing how people can suddenly feel sorry, once lawyers get involved.
Honestly, if I was OP, I would keep contact to a absolute minimal and as soon as the kids are grown and move out, go full no contact.
only decent person sounds like the uncle.
They were so upset at their sister/daughters passing that they scheduled her funeral on the day of a major surgery for her Surviving child.
I wish Op had gone scorched Earth on these parasitical sociopaths.
Love stories with updates! He should just cut these toxic people out of his and his son's lives %100! There is no benefit to having them teach your kids they need to accept the f#+*ed up way they bully people.
A similar thing happened to me. M grandmother promised me 3 things when she died: a small wooden stand, a small lamp, and a small clock. Nothing worth any value but sentimental. But my uncle took all of those things and more. But I did manage to get her jewelry box (no jewelry in it, of course), before he saw it and grabbed it too.
Definitely love the ones with Updated information on what happened after the fact. I think that family should still be shamed publicly, what kind of monsters steal from children.
Know just how he felt. When my mom died her wishes were not carried out . I haven’t spoken to 2 of my 5 siblings. My brother who owed so much to her never visited her in her last year of life and my sister who stole her house. My karma bite them where the sun doesn’t shine.
The entitlement's amazing in a horrifying way
Good on the lawyer for putting MIL in her place
Edit: Yeaaaah I figured their apology and 'we were like grieving and all' was fake from the get go. Also imagine being so godawful the family member they're grieving took steps to prevent them from pulling this crap just in case she died
She knew them for what they are. Hopeful OP cuts them out of his life because I wouldn't pass them to poison OPs kids against him.
Personally i'd be researching a whole new area to live in, sell the house and be gone.
Something similar almost happened to me a long time ago. My grandmother had given me a charm bracelet beloved by the family. When she died my mother mentioned it and that my aunt might want it. I said I had it and I would flush it if aunt asked for it. Then I showed her why. The second charm bracelet. Aunt took it with her when she left town years before. I discovered it in piles of her junk during a cleanup and never told anyone. Absolutely ruined. Mom looked at the ruined bracelet and the one I was given and never mentioned it again.
Death sucks! The uglies come out no matter how little or big the estate is. I watched it and was treated like crap after my grandma passed.
Last story; Pappa Bear woke up from his winter hibernation, his cubs were being stolen from! He did not like that! Good story!😊
My grandmother passed away, and my dads youngest sister came and asked if she could stay in her house before the funeral so she could be close to her. BTW she had never been there when her mother was alive. She tossed the house and to this day we do not know what all she took.
That is so messed up, but don't worry because Karma's coming for her.
It's unfortunate that it wasn't OP's wife's family that were killed in the wreck instead of her. Other than the BiL that demanded the items be returned, the greedy vermin deserve to be buried alive in an unmarked grave in the middle of nowhere, then completely forgotten about as time passes without them ever being mourned.
Good for you! Something similar happened when my grandfather died! He had lived with us for about 8 years. My mother was his youngest child. He was occasionally cantankerous, but I loved him. He taught me how to tool leather, among other things. When retired from his job as a welder, he moved to Kentucky with his only son Clifton, a asking almost all of his things with him. But before he left for Kentucky, he told us all that his leather tools would be mine; several tables and chairs he had made would be my mom’s; a number of things for Mattie, and Nancy (my aunts); and Clifton would get most of his tools.All the rest were f the family lived in northern Indiana. Well, 8 months later, he died (I think of boredom). Clifton called his oldest sister, my aunt Mattie, who was supposed to call the rest of us. She did…when she was in SOUTHERN Indiana - almost to Clifton’s. By the time WE had gotten to Clifton’s in Kentucky, Mattie and CL (her husband) had loaded EVERYTHING “Pappy” had owned into their truck and trailer. This was the sole reason they had waited to call. When I saw the truck and trailer (I was 15 at the time), I knew what I was going to do. I waited until Mattie and CL were in the house and I began unloading the stuff Pappy had given to us. CL came out and asked what the hell I was doing, and I told him I was taking what Pappy had given to us (things he knew very well)! He threatened me, and I told him he wanted the chair and table so bad as to steal them, I would FEED them to his 350 pound ass. He was always a coward. Mattie was furious, but Clifton had warned her. In the end, I got every they tried to steal back. I never forgave them for that. My reply when they was told they had finally died was, “So?” I never spoke to either of them again. It was aka ing to me that these two selfish asshats could raise decent children, but somehow they did…
One gets a hint of the years of misery he endured from his wife's family before her death.
Still paying for her parents' utilities, goodness knows how often going along with their plans for holidays, biting tongue etc. Wonder what happened when FIL died...probably why wife made a will.
I'm glad OP got things back in the end. It's sad that family is not close any more, but that's on them. Thanks for the video Mr Reddito
i remember when my grandfather died a few weeks after his funeral my mom got a call from a lawyer about something. turned out her brother was supposed to have sent her a check for $10k and didnt. i heard the fight she had with her brother on the phone, then the talk with the lawyer. We then recieved the check not long after.
that money helped my family a lot, where her brother is honestly very well off and probably would consider that pocket change. he just happens to be an ahole and dont get me started on his wife. yea sure they are technically blood but that doesnt matter to me. they are jerks.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. It's sad that "family" would do this to you and your kids. I hope everything works out for you. OK I had to laugh out loud when you said you didn't want to kick your dog because you like your dog. Too funny.
I knew of a lovely man that lost his wife...and the inlaws swooped in after the funeral and took nearly everything....including the electric jug on the kitchen sink ( he could not make a cup of coffie).and the Iron on the ioning board he had left there after ironing his shirt for the funeral,. He was so distracted and upset on the day he never noticed until next day.He never asked for things back ,but he never spoke to them ever again ,ever,.. either.His attetude was if they were mean enough to rob him in his grief they could keep them...but he was upset over the electric kettle because he could not make a cup of coffie next day, and he would used that kettle to make his and his wifes cup of the morning,and they took it.( a good memory stolen)
I've stopped being surprised about family greed. I've worked in healthcare for decades and I've often seen strangers turn up claiming to be family members when patients pass away. They never once visited that person for the time they were there but suddenly they're digging through their possessions and demanding to know which family member took what. It's depressing.
Good his late wife had a will and he got a good lawyer. Glad MIL and the family realized what they had done and want to mend fences with OP. It's also so nice for OP to have photo copies made of the photo album. After this, thought that he wouldn't need to use his lawyer still - but sadly apparently not. Going after the life insurance was LOW for them. OP's late wife had made that for their children. It's really sad his wife's family is acting like that.
“Still and after all” This broke me.
Nothing tears a family apart like greed when someone dies. Very telling that the most decent member of that side of the family left alive, married into it. His MIL must be some sort or Queen Harpy. Keep in contact with the uncle, go a soft NC with the rest of them.
Couples: When you marry your spouse you 2 do in fact become FAMILY, especially when kids come around. Each other's families get placed on the back burner PERIOD. Get Wills and get VERY SPECIFIC AS TO WHO GETS WHAT SPECIFIC ITEM, Get medical and financial directives, funeral plans, childcare, property disbursements , Life Insurance with clear payees, etc etc etc and make everything ironclad. NEVER give family keys to your home, NEVER give them the checkbook, creditcards, debit cards in the event of a terrible grief event. Hell don't even allow them into your home PERIOD in the event of a terrible grief event or things WILL grow legs and walk. When a spouse dies they are NO LONGER FAMILY TO YOU PERIOD.
Edit: I hate spell check 😡
Grief sucks but if you have children that is the most important thing you and your spouse have
@@barbaragarner9192 Indeed it is, That's why couples/parents plan EVERYTHING out via wills, medical and financial directives, life insurance, burials, property, child custody etc etc etc etc
Absolutely Correct!
Happy to see that someone who deserved to win did so. My mother demanded the entirety of my husband's life insurance and made my life a living hell when I didn't give it to her.
Wow, not even a MIL, your mother? One thing about reading Reddit, you soon learn that blood/genetics/legal documents doesn't make someone family. Love & actions do.
If nothing else, I would have the watch inspected to see thar it is genuine and intact.
I was really expecting 1 more update, that they sent a knock-off reproduction watch.
I'm so sorry O.P. lost his wife, and the children lost their mother. The "family" come in and just want to peck her corpse clean. They need to take a fricken breath! Everyone needs to breathe and heal!
When I was married to my ex his mother passed and he was devastated. The next day his aunts came down from up north and decided they wanted everything she still had that they gave her. Plus anything that she had from their parents. I was flabbergasted. They even fought over the reamins of their fathers first hair cut strands. I was thinking ummm this belongs to my husband but.... he didn't object so I just stood by. I mean she barely died the night before and then bam they were there taking all her stuff. People amaze me sometimes.
This one is more understandable. They wanted things that the sister got from their parents. So it was more sentimental.
Personal experience. Family can get really crazy after the death of a loved one.
And most people do not see it coming!
@@trylogic4084 I never did. My sister and I barely speak today because of it. She hired some junk dealer to haul away a bunch of my daddy's things and the money loss was over 10k. Some of the things weren't even his as it belonged to me.
It's so sad how often things like this happen, with family fighting over possessions left by a deceased person. You can have the happiest family that gets along, and have people say ahead of time that they all agree to what's in the will, and still have people fighting over things or money . I don't know what it is, but people that you would never expect to act badly suddenly do. I tell friends that they should be ready for conflict, and they usually say no, it's not going to happen. And it happens. There's always something.
Funerals always bring out the best and worst in families. My brother-in-law a funeral director has some classic tales, you could visit one and get lots of tales. One man had two daughters fighting over the mothers floor length fur coat, so being the last one in the church with the body he placed it on his wives body saying, 'Now lets see them get the coat.'
After our parents passed, I told my sister that there was nothing our parents owned that was worth damaging our relationship over. There were a number of things I would have liked to have. I did get our parents' wedding rings, but she really wanted her older son to have them, so I gave them to him. There were other things, but in the end I really didn't need any of it. I made my choices and I'm good with it. I realize now that I was incredibly blessed that it was so. Op's story is heartbreaking. I'm saddened that people put things before family, greed is vile!
You have a caring heart. I wear my parents wedding bands on my thumb after our mother passed. I put them on so she didn’t lose them and I always knew where they were. Too many siblings in and out of my home to visit with her.
I like the longer vids with complete updates ... Lol ... I hate the anticipation 😂😂😂
It sad how some families treat each other after the death of a loved one. I’m sure the person that passed would not have wanted it that way.
This whole thing is ridiculous and they should be embarrassed. The stole from you and your sons. But the topper was their feelings of entitlement to your son's life insurance pay out from their mom. They are disgusting people. I really hope you stop paying your wife's mothers taxes and anything else you pay for her. She does not deserve your kindness for what she and her other daughter did to you and your sons!
It's good he got the watch back.
I do hope the father keeps strong boundaries up. All his kids to see their relatives limited, short occasions. What I really love to hope is that he didn't go back to paying their bills. When fil died, it was a nice thing to do to show support. After his wife died, they didn't care. So now he is free of that obligation
I was expecting to hear that a cheap knock-off was sent in its place.
ps. I can guarantee that if he let them hold the watch until the oldest son turned 18, they absolutely would not have given it to him then.
@@groofromtheup5719 Sounded like the eldest was almost there anyway, about to graduate. Cannot help but agree that wills are important. In many places if there isn't a will things go to the surviving spouse/bio kids anyway, but it varies from state to state/country so don't take my word for it! In any case it was highly likely the wife's family was in the wrong for taking everything, again for trying to claim insurance money. Morally, why try to deprive your grandchildren? Especially if the widower is still paying some of your bills? Ugh.
@@kathydurow6814 Agreed, but truth be told, if someone doesn't change their beneficiaries on an insurance policy, I don't think there's anything you can do about it. But if someone tries to take money from an insurance policy and you're the beneficiary, that's fraud. And there's something that you can do about that. I actually think that the insurance company might send somebody after them, but I'm not positive.
I remember this story without the final update. I thought he went a little too easy on them initially, but figured it was from all the grief and trauma and wanting to believe the best in them. "They aren't bad people, they just did bad things". Yeah, that makes them effing bad people OP! And how they felt secondary. That is because they ARE secondary, and have been since the time OP and his wife said "I do". I just KNEW they had kept stuff back.
OP needs to take that Rolex right away to a reputable watch repair company to make sure it is a Rolex and verify ownership. It should be in his FIL's name unless it's a fake.
Watching OP go from a peacekeeper to the protector of the family in the absence of his wife was amazing. He's over being pushed around. His boys need stood up for as does his wife's legacy and he'll be damned if it's not him that does it
I remember when my FIL passed. My wife and I were living with FIL at the time, by choice, to take care of him. (still live in the house BTW.) Anyway, my BIL, who had a full set of professional grade tools, wanted to have some of his dad's tools as keepsakes- you know, the ones that had sentimental value. Okay, no problem. Sonofagun, he took EVERYTHING. He even took a bunch of MY toools that I had to politely ask him to return.
I discovered while going through my divorce that being unforgiving is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. I decided I needed to forgive my asshole husband not for him, but for me. In the New Testament we read that "Christ will forgive whom He will forgive, but of us, we are required to forgive all men!"
For me, it freed me from the bitterness other women carry even a decade or two after their divorce is final.
I truly believe forgiveness is the greatest form of love. Because Christ died for our sins and was resurrected and with His forgiveness we can return back to our Heavenly home and spend eternity in love and joy!!😇
Family's can be brutally cruel. When my Grandmother passed away my Aunt went to my Grand parents home and stuck a post it note with her name on it on the things that she wanted. Many if the pieces being antique furniture. She said she would have a moving company there the following day to pick up HER furniture. My Grandmother wasn't even buried yet. My Mother and I went to my Grandfather's house the next morning and told the moving guys when they showed up that nothing would be moved today. They left. My Aunt and I got into a fight and I punched her in the face after she drew blood from my face with her fake nails. I told her in case she had not noticed my Grandfather was still alive and living in the house he and my Grandmother shared for 65 years.
Her husband stepped up to me after he helped his wife off the floor. He got punched too. A couple of times. I said you're children took gymnastics growing up and I took martial arts. At which point he wisely backed off.
They left with nothing and shouted this isn't over.
It was. My Grandfather changed his will and only left his Daughter, my Aunt his penny collection.
Good for you... and legally it was probably all Grandfather's, will or no will.
This was quite the story, anything involving death, wills and family seems to change people, which i don't really understand but have been through these things and it is not fun, it breaks families or change families. OP was a very kindhearted man who was taken advantage of when he was down, but he came back like a papa bear defending his children.
There is nothing like an estate to show people at their worst. My Dad and older Brother were discussed with my Aunts behavior when my Grandma died, they were screaming at each other about who wanted what.
Once more I appreciate how my mother handled things. When she was in her '80s she took my brother and I each aside and asked us what items we specifically wanted. There was already a trust that split the house and savings in half equally, but she took the time to ask us, and she wrote it down. Luckily he and I did not want the same things. True to life though, trouble found us in another direction.
This is an amazing man and father. Great boundaries and healthy role modeling.
I’ve seen it many times. The roaches come out I’d the wood works when the death of a family member is involved. My neighbor had very little only and daughters. He left his nephew his tools and table saw. I heard the son in law tell the other son in law they had better go get the best ones before the nephew got there. Roaches! They should all be punished for their greed.
I love when you give multiple updates in one video!!!! Keep them coming 💜
Moral of the story is…….backhand the shit out of any mil the second she sticks her nose in your personal Business 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣I like your style! Thankfully mine has been dead 22 years 🤣🤣
In hindsight I wish I would have.
Nta. They stole the stuff. Have them arrested for stolen property. They are evil bad ppl.
I like when there is a resolution. I don’t care if it is the entirety of the video. But, I prefer that to feeling like I’m left hanging. Thanks
This story is literally what happens almost on a daily basis in my country and a lot of other African countries 🤦♀️
Dude I know ryt!!
@@Katyloveheart You Congolese?
What happens? Does it get resolved in the same way, or does it miss the happy ending?
@@MacClay8 a lot of Africans don't make wills because they have the belief that making a will is basically placing a curse on yourself and you'll die young if you write it 🤦♀️. So the relatives will take everything and more often than not make the kids homeless. Sometimes they tey to go after the spouse too
@@MacClay8 so...no...we don't always get the happy ending here 😔
It would take me a very long time to trust people who something like this to me.
With me, it will be a cold day in Hell if i ever trust them again
