MY BROTHER DEMANDED I GIVE UP THE HOUSE I INHERITED FROM OUR DAD – THE NEXT DAY, HE CALLED IN TEARS, BEGGING ME TO TAKE IT BACK
My dad passed a few months ago, but not suddenly. He'd been sick for years. We were close, and I was there every step of the way, taking care of him. But my brother Kyle? He used Dad to get connections for his career, then ghosted him once he got what he wanted. He never called, never visited, not even when Dad passed.
Dad's will was simple: everything was split between us, but the house — our childhood home — was mine. A week after the funeral, Kyle shows up demanding the house, saying, "I'm the older brother, so it should be mine. Dad must've made a mistake." He kept pushing, saying he'd take me to court.
So, I handed over the keys. My lawyer looked at me like I'd lost my mind, but I knew EXACTLY what I was doing. The next morning, my phone rang. It was Kyle, frantic.
"WAS THAT YOUR STUPID PLAN?!" he shouted, almost crying.
"Hey, Kyle," I answered, already laughing inside. "Is something bothering you?"
"You know what I'm talking about!" he snapped. "I'm standing here in my new house, and guess what I'm staring at?!" ⬇️
