Aunt Stole My Inheritance And Then Karma Struck Her NEW UPDATE r/Relationships

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey Waffle Gang, I do your work.

[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, my name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories and if you do

[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_01]: love a Reddit story why not consider hitting that like subscribe maybe that notification

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_01]: bell too and let's crack on with today's first story.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Much love guys.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, today's first story is one that we did read a year ago but we only had one part

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_01]: of the story.

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_01]: 11 days ago a new part came out an update to this story.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It's from DragonRedX who says my aunt stole my inheritance.

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Then Karma struck and her life fell apart.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: My aunt was one of two kids my grandparents had.

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_01]: My mother was the polar opposite to my aunt.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_01]: She worked from the age of 12 in my grandfather's shop, never asked for anything and eventually

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_01]: managed to start her own business.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_01]: My aunt never held down a job until the age of 26, was constantly stealing from her

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_01]: parents and was constantly in trouble.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Despite this my aunt was spoiled by my grandmother and so were her kids.

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: She had three kids from three different men and her first husband was not one of them,

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: if you know what I mean.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't matter what my aunt or a kid did, my grandmother would always jump to their

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_01]: defense.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_01]: She never had time for my mom and her kids unless it was to get something from us.

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_01]: The only reason my mom would visit her was because she loved my grandfather.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: My grandfather passed away in 2004 and a few months after my nan decided to write

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: up a new will.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: My mother and my aunt were both present for it when she signed it so they knew what was

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_01]: in it.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It made it so that when she passed away her home would be sold and the money split 25%

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: each to my mom and aunt and the remaining 50% would go evenly to the grandkids.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: At the time the home was worth more than £500,000 so it would be a nice little inheritance

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_01]: but nothing life changing.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: In 2010 my mom died after an accident and did not have a current will in place.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_01]: As she no longer had her business and was renting a house.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: In 2010 my mom died after an accident and did not have a current will in place as she no

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_01]: longer had her business and was renting a house.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: She didn't have anything much of monetary value, anything she was concerned about was

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: what would be done at her funeral should she have passed away but it told me everything

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: she wanted.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: The music, the flowers, the coughing colour and even what people to wear at the

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: funeral, she wanted people to wear bright warm colours.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So when she passed my aunt and Nan took over all the arrangements and tried to undo all

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_01]: the things I told them.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_01]: The songs were going to be songs I knew my mom didn't like, the flowers were all

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_01]: the wrong colours and they picked the hideous coughing.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: For the help of my siblings we were able to change a few things back to what they

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: were supposed to be but the coughing couldn't be changed for some reason and my Nan

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: refused to let people come dressed as clowns so it was all black.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It was frustrating.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: After the funeral my Nan had her will changed.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: My siblings and I were told by our aunt that she didn't have any involvement with

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: the writing of the will and our Nan told us she changed it that mom's share would

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_01]: go to her kids instead.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_01]: All good we thought.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: After mom passed away my Nan just stopped talking about my mom.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: At first we thought it was because she was still recovering from losing her daughter

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01]: but even after five years after mom passed she still wouldn't talk about her.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Even if you brought up a story about mom, Nan would very obviously try and change the

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: subject.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Usually about how hard my aunt and her shitty kids had it.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: If you went to talk to her about your own problems she would somehow bring it back

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: to my aunt.

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd suffer the mental breakdown after my mom's death so you could imagine

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: how much it hurt to hear.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Well ex had it so much worse.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: In 2016 my Nan passed away.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: She'd written down what she wanted to be done for her funeral and it was

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: basically all the same things she'd picked out for my mom's funeral.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Even the music to be played.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why she tried to have a dress rehearsal funeral using my mom as a stand-in

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_01]: but it was obvious that's what she was trying to do.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So after a couple of months our siblings and I were waiting to hear about the will reading

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and my aunt kept telling me oh it'll be another month before we can do the reading.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't mind.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't fussed about the money to be honest.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But my oldest brother was hoping to use the money to pay for a honey moon for

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_01]: him and his then fiance.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_01]: My younger brother was about to start uni so it would be a hell of a help.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Eventually my dad bumped into the solicitor my grandmother had used to deal with her will

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and asked what was happening.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: The solicitor let slip that the will had already been read and that it left everything

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_01]: to my aunt.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_01]: When my dad questioned this the solicitor told him that my aunt had been present

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: when the will was written despite promising that she had nothing to do with it.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_01]: When confronted my aunt initially tried to deny but eventually admitted to lying to all

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: of us.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_01]: She showed us the will and they confirmed what we already knew.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: The house and all its contents were now my aunt's.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_01]: This includes my grandad's war medals.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_01]: She fought in the Second World War.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_01]: When I told her that he had promised him to me before he died she said well unless

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: you have it in writing you will have nothing in this house.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway I already gave them to Clive.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: My heart sank.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Clive not his real name obviously was an eldest son and the dictionary definition of a fuckup.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He'd been in and out of prison for stealing and dealing drugs.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I knew the moment that prick had got his hands on my grandad's medals it would have been

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: sold off.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: We looked into taking that to court over the world but everyone we spoke to said

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_01]: that we probably wouldn't get anything out of it.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_01]: She immediately put the house up for sale at close to £750,000.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: She'd pissed off too many people in our town so she was going to sell the house and move

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: closer to her daughter who lives in a big city.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: An offer was made on the house and she put down a deposit on a house near the big city

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and I thought that was that.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Here's where karma comes into play.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: The people who wanted my nann's house had a survey done on the house to see if

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: there were issues and boy oh boy were there.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Turns out that the land the house was built on was way too soft for the type of house

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: it was and it was sinking.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It had sunk 2cm in the 40 plus years my nann and grandad had lived there.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: The sinking was accelerating to 1cm per year.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: This meant within the next 3 years the house would need some serious work or be knocked

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: down.

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_01]: The new value of the house?

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: £60,000.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: The buyers immediately pulled out, having not even put down a deposit.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: She couldn't buy a new house but still had to pay the deposit on it.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And while this was happening she let Clive move in with her into her house as she

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_01]: rented from the council.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: She wasn't allowed to live in any of the council houses because he trashed every single

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: one had been given.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Someone reported this and she was kicked out of her home.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_01]: She was forced to move into my nann's old home and she couldn't live anywhere else.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So there she is, living in a crumbling house with a shithead son and a partner.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: She was stuck there for 2 years.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Every time I saw her she would try and start talking to me and I would just ignore

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: her and walk off.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_01]: One time as I was walking away she screamed, your mother deserved to die for having a

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: arse-ler word like you.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_01]: In the middle of a busy street someone reported her to the police and she had an official

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: warning from them and was ridiculed on Facebook.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Every time I saw her after that she looked more and more miserable.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Eventually she sold the house for something like £85,000 and moved in with her daughter

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: in the big city.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I lost contact with her and her kids after this.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought karma had been issued.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh but karma still wasn't done with her.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I bumped into one of her former friends and she told me what happened after she left our

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: town.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: She moved into her daughter's home.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's call her Sue.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: But they only had a 3 bedroom house and 3 kids.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: My aunt and her partner had to live in the smallest room in the house while my

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: aunt looked for a job and a home to rent.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Even with £85,000 she couldn't afford a home anywhere.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_01]: After about a month my aunt's partner ran off after emptying her account.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: She was left stranded in Sue's house, not contributing anything because all the money

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_01]: she makes goes into bingo.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Eventually she and my aunt get into a screaming match and my aunt said something along

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: the lines of I should have aborted you.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Sue immediately kicked her out of her house.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So again there's my aunt in a city where she knows nobody, no money, no home and

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: the last bridge she had a smouldering wreck.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Last anyone has heard she was living in a caravan in the roughest part of the

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_01]: city and she can no longer work because she's suffered an early onset arthritis

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and can no longer move her hands.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I shouldn't get a joy if something like this is happening to another

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_01]: person but it does bring me some peace as to what happened.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And the general gist of the comments on this one was

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'll read one of the top comments was

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So around a year later, OP comes in with an update and says hello all around a year

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_01]: ago I told you about my aunt stealing my and my siblings inheritance.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought I'd make a quick update but I wanted to answer and correct a few things.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: One I've tried to find my grandfather's war medals.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I do not have a service number or his death certificate.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't even get access to his records.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: After I found out my cousin had taken and sold the medals.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I did search local stores and Facebook groups looking for info.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But no luck.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I know he hadn't won any major medals.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a mechanic and a driver in the Royal Army so thankfully had a rather

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_01]: uneventful war that would have been just campaign and service medals.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Two, someone did ask for specifics about the signing of the will.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Pointing out that my aunt couldn't have been a witness to the signing

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: of the will due to laws preventing it.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know the full specifics of what her and my Nan had done

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_01]: but a solicitor let slip that my aunt had known what was in the will before it was written.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I just don't know the full details.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm ignorant when it comes to solicitors and such.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was my elder sister who read the will in full and relayed it to the rest of us.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We did ask if there was anything we could fight it.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But everyone we talked to said there wasn't any case.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry if it was confusing.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Three, I sent a few comments on Reddit and on YouTube videos.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: People weird seeing this in the wild by the way.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Using she slash her to describe me.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess that's why people here give their age and gender at the start of these stories.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm a man, 32 male in case you were wondering.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't annoyed or upset about it.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I just thought it was funny.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Long.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Or someone asked what a caravan is.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: They're what we call travel trailers in the UK.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Think of it as a fiberglass or aluminium box on wheels.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: People in the UK use them for short holidays and they're not fun to live

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_01]: in for an extended period of time.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I've experienced this and it sucked.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, on to the update.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: When I last left off, my aunt had been left abandoned in a big city

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and stuck with a caravan with crippling arthritis.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, a few weeks after my first post, I got a news that she has somehow found a new boyfriend.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Ow, I don't know because my aunt had the look and build of an obese pug

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and that was when she was in her 30s.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So what she looks like now in her mid 60s doesn't bear thinking about.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, her and a new boy toy, I think I'll just throw up a little,

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_01]: decided to move to a seaside town and start a new life.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you can guess what happened.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Boy toy must have gotten sick of her or found out that she had no money.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So abandoned her.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01]: You're in an argument with her landlord.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_01]: She suffered a heart attack and while in hospital, she suffered another.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: She has recovered, but she was even more disabled than she was before.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: She'd been given a homebar, local council, but it's OK guys,

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: because Clive has come to live with her.

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God, Clive, a fuck up who saw my grandfather's medals

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and lost my aunt at home.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: The man is a walking episode of Jeremy Kyle.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_01]: For anyone outside of the UK, think think of the program,

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Jeremy Springer on steroids. And then.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Can you do this?

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You're in the morning.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Pull your favorite shirt up.

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Grab a coffee and suck a fleck.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_00]: No panic.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Pesil discs retten den Tag.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Mit ihrer kraftvollen Formel beseitigen sie selbst die hartnäckigsten Flecken

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: für tiefen, reine Wäsche.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Einfach die Diske in die Trommel werfen.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Und der Rest, das macht eine Waschmaschine,

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_00]: weil du immer dein Bestes gibst.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Probier jetzt die besten Disks von Pesil.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Außer Reichweite von Kindern aufbewahren.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_01]: He continues and says, after my aunt left my hometown,

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_01]: things started to look up for Clive.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Someone took pity on him and gave him a job as a laborer.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And for a few months, he was doing well, looking clean and well.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why everything that had happened.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I was glad he was getting his life back on track.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it turns out not.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He was given a work van to go from job to job.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And one day came to work with a black eye and no van.

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_01]: He told everyone he'd been carjacked and the van stolen.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Sadly for Clive, they found the van

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and a very confused man wondering why the police were arresting him.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: After questioning in a text exchange,

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_01]: they found out that Clive had sold the van to a man

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and gave himself a black eye to make it look like theft.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Clive was arrested.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01]: He was massively lucky because his boss didn't press charges.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: The boss told me later that he only did it out of respect of my grandfather

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and all the police did was fine for wasting police time.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_01]: After burning through all the money he had, he was again homeless.

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: His only life was his younger brother.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's call him Colin.

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Colin was in the armed forces

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and a pretty high rank from what I've heard.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Colin was away from home most of the time on deployment

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_01]: but had managed to buy a nice home in our town.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: They let Clive in his house on the agreement that he paid for part of the mortgage.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_01]: You know where this is going.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He stopped paying, stopped maintaining the house and treated it like a drug stand.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Colin asked him to leave, but Clive used squatters rights to prevent removal

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_01]: because Colin was overseas.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He couldn't come back to sort it out and kick him out in person

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and had no one in the area to wait for Clive to leave and change the locks behind him.

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So Clive lived in the house for six months.

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: That was until a pissed off father broke in and beat the shit out of Clive.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: You see, the father had found that Clive, who is 41 by the way,

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: had been sexting and selling weed with 13 year old girl.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: After that, I've abandoned the house and ran off to mummy.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_01]: From what I've heard, Colin had stripped the house and is selling it

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: to move closer to his base.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_01]: We found out most of this from my aunt's daughter Sue, the one who kicked my aunt out.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You see, my brother was on holiday in Turkey

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and just so happened to be in the hotel room next to Sue.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: She was very apologetic to my brother and thought we might like to know what had happened.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Seems to have a nice life and family and no longer lives in the house

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_01]: she shared with her mom.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm generally happy for her, although I don't think I will try to mend our relationship.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Sue had said some spiteful things to me in particular

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and had never reached out to apologize.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I might still feel a bit bitter for that.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: As for my aunt, I don't know how to feel.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I do hope she gets better and grows enough of a spine to kick Clive out

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: as it will only lead her to more trouble.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: In some ways, I do wish I could rebuild a relationship with her.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: She is the last living link to my grandfather and grandmother,

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_01]: as well as my mother's only living sibling.

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But I know I could never trust her.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Never not see that face in the spitefulness that she had for me and my family

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_01]: as she chose money or what she thought was money over us.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I can forgive that.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to go out on my way to do more harm.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just happy that I'm in a better place now.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And just in case Opieva does get to hear this again,

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: they said they've heard it in the wild once, but you can actually access

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_01]: death certificates in the UK.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_01]: You can apply for them.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe there's a cost involved, but you can actually get hold of them

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: so that might help you in your quest to potentially get those medals.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And I wish you all the luck in doing so.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But holy moly, Karma does strike every once in a while.

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't it?

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_01]: He whizz, let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And let's move on to another story.

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And seeing as we're on the entitled people server, let's stick here for a bit, shall we?

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: This is from Fire New Princess, who says, How I ruined a marriage.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I know the title sounds weird, but hear me out.

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, this event took place before the pandemic.

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I had worked at this job at least six years before I finally left its toxic environment.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yet I got along with just about all of my co-workers.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I also won't lie, live with my mom, which I will only say this because of a couple of things.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_01]: My stepdad passed away from lung cancer in 2018, having passed seven months after he was diagnosed.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: In 2019, she and I got the house we currently live in.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, when this event took place, I worked nights at my job at the time.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I would normally be home around 6 a.m.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: due to not driving at the time.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was too cold for me to use my e-bike, so I would get rides from co-workers

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_01]: or bike depending on the weather.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: This is also Canada, so it can get cold.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_01]: My asthma makes it harder to bike in cold weather.

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_01]: This was my day off, so I was hoping to just relax and just sleep.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Though that wasn't meant to happen, it seemed as I was woken up by some sound above me.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I live in the basement at my house as it's a finished basement and my bedroom is under the living room of the house.

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I just chalked it up to mum watching some TV.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I get out of bed and go grab my mum's bedding that was in the dryer.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: As I was getting up the stairs and open the door, that was when I see the dog.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Another thing I should point out, the dog, Buddy, was my stepdad's dog.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Who he would call Buddy was his furry son.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: This dog kept my mum sane when my stepdad passed away and was comforted by this dog in everything that came into her life.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That Buddy three years after my stepdad passed before he was diagnosed with lung cancer like my stepdad.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I still miss this dog.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, it was strange for me to see this dog in the kitchen.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The basement door leads into the kitchen.

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Instead of living room or my mum's room, he was practically glued to my mum's side.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So I asked, what are you doing out here, Buddy?

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_01]: He just wagging his tail at me.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So I go towards the living room door and saw the door was shut.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, that confuses me.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So I just mentally shrug and open the door.

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, mum, I'm bringing up your and I stopped when I see a very familiar face on the couch with my mum.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, OP, this is I know who this is, mum.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I said it wasn't clicking in for me as to what was going on because I again just woke up from doing a close.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It says and didn't really get a hell of a lot of sleep.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_01]: How do you know him?

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_01]: She asked guys eyes were wide since I walked into the living room.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I work with his wife.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Mum is in confusion and kind of leans back over looking at the man asking your ex-wife.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_01]: She seemed a little skeptical before he could even answer.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I said no, his current wife in Sir Co worker's name.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Mum, of course, is in shock.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And again, I don't clue in as to what was going on.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Just talking as I walk further into the living room with her bedding and set it on a chair.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I pet buddy and make sure he goes outside to do his thing.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And I go back to my living room in the basement.

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The guy was kicked out a while later.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But beforehand, he begged my mum to tell me not to tell his wife about this because she's possessive.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_01]: So for months, I kept my mouth shut.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that wasn't the only thing that she told me.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_01]: She told me that the reason why buddy was kept out of the living room

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: was because moment this guy, let's call him Jay, walked into the house,

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but he actually growled at him.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_01]: The dog who loves everyone he meets growled at someone.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And alone shocked me when my mum told me this.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that and it turns out that Jay also knew my mum's cousin and her cousin's husband.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: They went to high school together.

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Only found out that when mum mentioned that was part of their conversation before I came up the stairs.

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: When mum also told me that he was there because they met on Tinder and that this was a date.

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, how I wished I knew that sooner.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have kicked his ass out the door myself because if there was one thing I hated, it was cheaters.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_01]: My mum had been cheated on before and she hates them.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So she was thankful that I came up with what I did.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: There's still more to this story.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: As I said, I kept my mouth shut for months and not telling my co-worker.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's call it L.

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, months after this date happened, I was working with her.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_01]: As we worked, I heard her saying that she was being kicked out of a townhouse.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I was confused and asked what happened.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_01]: L told some of this that Jay tried to overdose and she had managed to get help in time to save him.

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_01]: So she pretty much saved his life.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Yet how does he repay her by trying to get a kick out of the house?

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So when I heard that I'm just like screw this, no repercussions.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Then I told her everything that happened, how we met my mum to him being at my house.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But when I came up, everything when I was done, she just stared at me.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: A mix of shock as well as, well, I'm not really sure what this other look was,

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: but she looked like this had happened before.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Which she confirmed.

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Turns out Jay cheated on her throughout their entire marriage.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: They're five kids.

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Her oldest is at least 20s or 30s.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Also he was the possessive one, not L.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Whenever they separated, he was always allowed to see other people,

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: but not her and made damn sure of that.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Once she had everything I told her,

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: she'd finally been pushed because with what I told her,

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_01]: it seemed that it was far worse than what he's done in the past.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Her marriage was just toxic from what I learned later on.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Not just with destroying her property, such as her phone,

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but he hacked into her Facebook to make posts.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know all the details,

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_01]: but what I do know is that there is now restraining order against him.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He even tried to tear her down by saying that no man would want her

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_01]: because she was used and old.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Mind you, she isn't old.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_01]: She's still young and has a lot of life in her.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Then told her that she's too old to get into a union job.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: But she proved him wrong on all accounts.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Got herself a good man, got a good paying job,

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and now she even lost weight.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Hell, she's doing a damn good job living her life right now.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_01]: But there was one thing that I had asked her.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_01]: After I told her everything.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Hell, you said I looked just like my mum right?

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd asked.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You said yes you do.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I posted pictures of me with my mum's Facebook from my mum's 50th birthday

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and Elle had commented just how much my mum and I look alike.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a clone to say the least.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Her husband had met me many times in the past

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and he would sometimes bring Elle coffee

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_01]: or bring her the debit card that she forgot.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: So, how is it that your husband didn't even notice

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_01]: how much I looked like my mum when he met her?

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I asked.

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Her words?

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't help but smile at the thought of such a thing.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Because he's a fucking idiot.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I laughed a little at that.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Even their son who worked with us told me

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that his dad isn't that smart or bright.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_01]: She can tell it had to be true if his own wife,

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: now ex-wife and son tell me the same thing.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'd even told Elle how he knew my mum's cousin and her husband.

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Elle had told me that it was most likely

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that he would have tried to get lucky with her as well.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that wasn't going to happen anyway

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_01]: because my mum's cousin is still very much in love with her husband.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_01]: High school sweetheart.

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So, this guy tried to get lucky only for it to ruin his marriage.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Karma in its finest.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I still wish I had said something sooner.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I won't lie.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: This is my only regret with this.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_01]: But at least I'm happy that she got out of that toxic marriage.

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Elle living her best life without that jackass.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I just casted my mind back to the title on this one.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It was titled How I Ruined a Marriage.

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You didn't ruin that marriage.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He ruined his own marriage.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_01]: That's totally down to him.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_01]: But now, I'm going to turn this one to you guys.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you guys make of this situation?

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Just a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting involved in today's stories.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Your love, your support, your time always means the absolute world to me.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So thank you so, so much and hopefully I'll see you in the next one.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Take care and much love.
