An unpleasant situation happened in my life. And I still don’t know what to do. Perhaps someone has faced a similar situation, I really need advice now.
When our grandmother passed away, my sister and I inherited her three-room apartment. We decided to sell it and divide the money in half. My sister was happy with this option. At the time, I was still single, and my sister and her husband lived in his apartment.
I planned to spend the money on a down payment for an apartment I wanted to take out a loan. In addition, I still had some savings. I came across a great offer, so I decided to rent an apartment in a new building. Two months later, I moved into my own place, and two years later, I managed to pay off the entire amount. Later, I hired craftsmen to renovate the place. I was very happy that I was able to achieve a lot on my own.
All this time, my sister lived to her heart’s content. She did not consider it necessary to invest this money in real estate, because she hoped that her husband would provide for her for the rest of her life. With the money from the sale of my grandmother’s apartment, my sister and her husband bought expensive gadgets, went on vacation twice a year, and bought a lot of expensive clothes. She often made fun of me, saying that I didn’t know how to enjoy life at all.
Later, my husband left my sister and found a mistress. She ended up on the street. Of course, she was not ready for such a turn. I had to live with my parents. I thought everything would finally get better. But it didn’t… Every time I came to my parents’ house, the topic that had been sitting in my liver was raised. My sister complained that she was forced to cram into her parents’ house, while I lived in my own apartment. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I thought she was depressed after the divorce, so she complained about everything. I thought it would pass. But no! It only got worse!
At Christmas, my sister brought up the same topic again. I wanted to object to her, but my parents took her side. They offered me to sell my apartment and buy two one-room apartments. That is, for me and my sister. Why on earth would I do that? My sister had already received her share of the proceeds from the sale of my grandmother’s apartment. Who was stopping her from investing this money in her own future? She made her choice. I, on the other hand, invested not only the money from the sale of my grandmother’s apartment, but also my own savings in my home. I spent a lot of money and effort to put a roof over my head. And now I have to sell everything I’ve accumulated over the years.
I told them that I was categorically against it. In response, they called me selfish, and now they don’t want to talk to me. It’s a big loss! I don’t really want to keep in touch with such family!
