    I(37M) met my late wife, R (52F when she passed) back when I was 26 and she was 45. Our relationship was always looked at with disgust because of the age difference or because people thought it was a sham, I was an immigrant and she was a citizen. R had a son, P from her first

    marriage. P was 18 when I started dating R. I never had a good relationship with P but I tolerated him for R whenever he came around. On my 29th birthday, R and I got married and lived in her house.
  • 04
    4 years ago, R passed away in a tragic accident. I was shattered from the loss and barely got through her funeral. But after P found out that R had given him the house, he wanted me out. I knew about R's will and wasn't really interested in the house. But
  • 05
    I was not in the mental state where I could look for other accommodations. I asked P to let me stay for just 2 more weeks but he wouldn't allow it. He wanted the house for himself and his pregnant girlfriend. He also claimed that I had stolen his
  • 06
    inheritance because R only left him the house and I got the money and investments. He threw my belongings out like it was trash. It was trash for anyone but for me it was my memory of R.
  • 07
    I didn't have any contact with him ever since.
  • 08
    But last week was R's birthday and I went to her grave as I do every year since her passing. I saw P there, I initially didn't say anything but he greeted me and asked how I was to start some small talk. I kept my responses

    short and civil. As I was leaving, he asked me to join him for dinner. I refused but then he asked for my contact. I gave it to him without thinking much about it.

    A few days ago he calls me to ask if I was interested in buying the house from him. He wanted the money for his business venture. I suggested him to approach a bank as I couldn't help him. Then he reveals that he already has a loan on the house and wants the
  • 11
    money to pay off the loan. He also wants me to continue to let him live in the house after the transaction because, as per him, I should ensure that my "grandson" (his son) has a roof over his head as that is what R would have wanted.
  • 12
    At that moment I just wanted to punch him through the phone. All the painful memories of R came rushing back. The sight of the little trinkets we collected together shattered to pieces was so clearly visible. I have tried to restrain myself and not respond
  • 13
    restrain myself and not respond to his craziness but needed an outlet so writing this post
  • 14
    No-Mechanic-3048 • 12h ago Write him a text. Something like "You kicked me out without warning and you destroyed the things your mother and I had gotten together. We have not been in contact for
  • 15
    years. I do not wish to continue contact. I hope the best for you and your family. I will not be helping"

    Complikatee 12h ago Using his son as blackmail was a particularly touch. Be prepared for more from him, he's tried the nice approach, the nasty one may be coming next. Coming after "his

    throwa_3043747... 13h ago Wow, that is strong... he wouldn't give you as a grieving widower two weeks, but he expects you to buy his house and then continue to let him live in there? For free, I assume?

    Mizzyvon Muffling ⚫13h ago No no and another no. Don't give him anything, cut contact, you are not even related (by blood). Take good care of yourself!!

    Pinepark 12h ago Ask if R would have wanted her husband kicked out and his belonging destroyed?
  • 21
    Special_Lychee_6... • 11h ago So basically, he wants you to pay off the house he threw you out of, for him, and get nothing out of it.

    TailOnFire_Help • 10h ago Tell.him that you will be keeping an eye on the foreclosure home sales and will be buying the home once the bank kicks him out.
