A Silver Lining with a Dark Cloud

I guess with my father's impending death, his greed knows no bounds.

As mentioned last post, I was supposed inherit a rather large and beautiful house. Me and my family were all set to transfer there around April. I guess all good news have tainted paints.

I just recently went back to get some things from back home, when my dad wanted to discuss some things regarding our transfer. So we sat down and he tells me that I will have to pay 200 dollars a month to cover all the electricity, food, and other bills. This is just way too much for me and my family. It would be like renting an expensive condo unit in the city. After the "talk", I went inside my room, disgusted and disappointed. I text my girl regarding the news. She was surprised as well. We have no idea what will happen now. We're thinking twice now. Still hoping for the best though.

Oh, that's awful Tao. I know this post was a few weeks ago now, so don't know if you have made any progress in "negotiations" with your Dad.

Did make me wonder if he is putting these stipulations on your brother as well, or just on you?

Seems very odd, very manipulative.

Not wishing to be insensitive or flipant, but once he's dead, not his business who pays for what food, or how big or small the electricity bills are. Hey?

Yep, he's playing you alright. You'd think he'd have more important things to do with the remainder of his life. Ah, well.
