Keywords

💡Dialysis

Dialysis is a medical procedure that removes waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so effectively. In the video's theme, it is a critical aspect of the narrator's father's health condition, symbolizing the father's deteriorating health and the son's commitment to his care. The script mentions the son taking his father for dialysis twice a week, highlighting the son's dedication despite personal challenges.

💡Inheritance

Inheritance refers to the process by which an individual receives assets, money, or property from a deceased person. In the video, the theme of inheritance is pivotal as it initially causes tension between the narrator and his wife, who is upset about being excluded from the father's will. The father's will is later revealed to have always included the son, signifying the father's enduring love and support for his son's independence and choices.

💡Legacy

Legacy is the property, values, or other assets passed down from one generation to the next. The video's narrative revolves around the father's business legacy and the son's decision to not take over the family business, which leads to conflict and misunderstanding between the father and son. The son's decision to eventually take over the business after his father's death represents his acceptance of the family legacy.

💡Conflict

Conflict in this context refers to the disagreements and tensions between individuals, particularly between the narrator and his wife over the care of his father and the family's wealth. The script illustrates multiple instances of conflict, such as the wife's disapproval of the son's commitment to his father's care and their arguments over inheritance and the family business.

💡Custody

Custody refers to the legal right to care for and control a child. In the video, the issue of custody arises during the divorce proceedings between the narrator and his wife. The wife does not initially seek custody, but the potential for her to later claim it through manipulation or legal means is a concern for the narrator, as he is now the sole caregiver for their children.

💡Divorce

Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage. The script details the narrator's divorce from his wife, which is triggered by their irreconcilable differences, particularly regarding the care of his father and the inheritance issue. The divorce is a significant turning point in the video, leading to the narrator's independence and the eventual reconciliation with his father.

💡Loyalty

Loyalty is the quality of remaining faithful and committed to a person, cause, or duty. The video's theme of loyalty is evident in the narrator's dedication to his father's care, despite the personal and marital consequences. His loyalty to his father and his own values is contrasted with the perceived disloyalty of his wife, who abandons the family.

💡Passion

Passion refers to a strong emotional interest or conviction in something. In the video, the narrator's passion for technology and software is at odds with his father's desire for him to take over the family business. This passion is a driving force behind the narrator's life decisions and represents his commitment to personal fulfillment over financial gain.

💡Caregiver

A caregiver is someone who provides care and support to those in need, such as the elderly or ill. In the script, the father has a full-time caregiver who assists with his daily needs, especially as his health declines. The presence of a caregiver is significant as it allows the father to maintain some level of independence while also receiving the necessary care.

💡Reconciliation

Reconciliation is the restoration of friendly relations after a disagreement or conflict. Towards the end of the script, the ex-wife and her family attempt to reconcile with the narrator after learning of the inheritance. However, the narrator sees through their motives, suspecting their intentions are driven by greed rather than genuine remorse or affection.

💡Trust

In the context of the video, a trust is a legal arrangement where assets are held and managed by a trustee for the benefit of another person or entity. The father initially places his business into a trust, indicating his disapproval of the son's refusal to join the family business. However, the revelation that the son was always the heir suggests that the trust was a mechanism to protect and preserve the family's wealth for the son.

Saturdays I have to take Dad for

play03:58

dialysis but she continu continues with

play04:00

her plans and then later rebukes me for

play04:01

being late or missing it I had to rush

play04:03

to my dad to pick him up then take him

play04:05

to the dialysis center and after it was

play04:07

done I dropped him and ran back home to

play04:09

her sarcasm and Tantrums it is not just

play04:11

about Saturday she does the same for

play04:13

Wednesday evening I had committed to my

play04:15

boss that I would compensate for the

play04:16

remaining work late in the evening or in

play04:18

the night after returning from the

play04:19

dialysis but she always had a plan to

play04:21

trouble me almost every Wednesday

play04:22

evening she would go out either to meet

play04:25

her family her long lost friends or to

play04:27

attend some random party leaving the

play04:28

children's respons ability to me I had

play04:30

to juggle my work cook for the children

play04:32

feed the younger one and meanwhile

play04:34

complete my pending tasks at my

play04:36

workplace this was after a hectic day at

play04:38

work and at the dialysis center I know

play04:40

it's getting long but this is how

play04:41

miserable my condition is many times my

play04:44

dad suggested that I let him go to the

play04:45

center with the nurse because he sees me

play04:47

always in a hurry intense looking at my

play04:49

watch after dropping him home I don't

play04:51

even wait for a second and rush back

play04:53

even while picking up I ask him to be

play04:55

ready and come outside before I arrive

play04:57

dad has a full-time nurse and a

play04:59

caretaker Aker to take care of him but I

play05:01

still feel bad for not spending time

play05:02

with him the drive from his house to the

play05:04

center is 30 minutes earlier I used to

play05:06

enjoy chatting with him during that

play05:08

drive about the good old days of

play05:09

children but as AAL Tantrums have

play05:11

increased all I'm concerned about is

play05:13

rushing back home most of the time I'm

play05:15

just over speeding my car in the traffic

play05:17

taking shortcut lanes and overtaking

play05:19

other vehicles to cut down the drive

play05:21

time this is the only time I get to

play05:22

spend with Dad and I don't want to ruin

play05:24

that or stop it by asking him to go with

play05:26

the nurse I too have some

play05:28

responsibilities as a a son I'm just not

play05:30

able to bear this woman any longer

play05:32

update one it is just getting worse

play05:33

every day my wife is not leaving any

play05:35

stone on turn to dissuade me from

play05:37

attending my father her point is that it

play05:39

is a lost deal dad had already removed

play05:41

me from his will and had given his

play05:42

wealth to charity so there was no point

play05:44

wasting time and energy on him I failed

play05:46

to understand her do we do everything

play05:48

just for profit and loss what if

play05:50

someone's parents don't have any wealth

play05:51

or are poor do their children abandon

play05:53

them because they have nothing to offer

play05:55

after listening to her Tantrums for so

play05:57

many months I finally told her that she

play05:59

was not going going to inherit anything

play06:00

from her parents so why does she visit

play06:02

them every now and then oh my God she

play06:04

lost her sht at this and said my parents

play06:07

did a lot more than your greedy father

play06:09

they supported me in everything they are

play06:10

not like your father who disowned you

play06:12

for not joining his business my father

play06:14

would have never done that to me so

play06:16

don't you dare compare my parents to

play06:17

yours it was not just once this type of

play06:20

argument is becoming a Norm at my house

play06:21

almost every Wednesday and Saturday

play06:23

after I returned from dialysis just that

play06:25

it is getting severe and ugly at every

play06:26

instance earlier she used to fight with

play06:29

me alone now I see her yelling and

play06:31

shouting at me in front of the children

play06:33

not only this I have heard her

play06:35

badmouthing my dad in front of my

play06:36

children and manipulating them against

play06:37

me and my dad I heard it and intervened

play06:40

which again led to an ugly fight between

play06:41

us ail's fight has become a routine for

play06:43

me on the days when she doesn't fight I

play06:46

feel something is missing only she

play06:47

becomes more aggressive the next day

play06:49

I've almost given up on her now I don't

play06:52

yell back and answer her I just ignore

play06:54

her as if she doesn't exist for me what

play06:56

else should I do I cannot abandon my

play06:58

father just to please her I don't care

play07:00

if he has kicked me out of his will he

play07:01

did so because of my own decision I

play07:03

refused to join his company he was

play07:05

forced to give his hard-earned business

play07:07

to the trust it must have been so

play07:08

disheartening for him that company was a

play07:10

baby to my dad and he had to donate it

play07:12

to someone else he had all the right to

play07:14

disown me because I had hurt him I

play07:16

sometimes feel that karma is biting me

play07:18

back because I had hurt my dad on the

play07:20

other hand dad is becoming weaker he is

play07:22

barely able to walk on his own he needs

play07:24

support to step him down to the car to

play07:26

save time I used to ask him to come

play07:28

outside and drop him outside the house

play07:30

but now I don't care about being late I

play07:32

go inside to carefully walk him to the

play07:34

car and then drop him to his bed until

play07:35

he settles down peacefully he is also

play07:37

having shortness of breath so I make

play07:39

sure to walk him as slowly as he wants

play07:41

also while driving I drive carefully so

play07:44

as not to overs speed and increases

play07:45

heart rate I don't care about going late

play07:47

to my house because rushing to the house

play07:49

was also not helping if I any way have

play07:51

to deal with that evil woman why not at

play07:53

least keep Dad happy my casual attitude

play07:55

has worsened the situation and yesterday

play07:57

ail said that I need to choose one of of

play07:59

them either my dad or her I tried to

play08:01

make her understand that Dad was not

play08:03

going to be with us forever seeing his

play08:05

condition it didn't look like he was

play08:06

going to make it long she came back with

play08:08

a Curt reply in that case you need to

play08:11

make your choice carefully someone who

play08:12

is going to be with you forever or

play08:14

someone who is going to die soon this

play08:16

was so insensitive I told her you know

play08:18

what I better choose my dad than Choose

play08:22

it but didn't anticipate it to be coming

play08:45

so soon I was shocked but deep down I

play08:48

was happy and relieved I didn't call her

play08:50

just signed the papers and sent her back

play08:52

surprisingly she didn't ask for the

play08:54

custody of the children that was the

play08:56

only Clause I was worried about but she

play08:58

clearly didn't want them when she

play08:59

received the paper she called me back

play09:01

yelling that how could I just sign it

play09:03

without calling her and pleading with

play09:04

her funny right her mom snatched the

play09:07

phone and shouted that I should have

play09:08

acted like a man and tried to pacify his

play09:10

wife back into the marriage instead of

play09:11

just signing the papers it was so funny

play09:14

why would I do that she wanted a divorce

play09:16

and I complied I was like it was good

play09:19

for me I got rid of her without a fuss I

play09:21

also taunted her that she even abandoned

play09:23

her children and didn't want them she

play09:25

said I could have all my assets

play09:26

including my two children she didn't

play09:28

want any of it her mother said Avil was

play09:30

still very young and she didn't want the

play09:32

baggage of children on her shoulders I

play09:34

said fine by me I'm glad to have my kids

play09:36

with me it is a relief for me no doubt

play09:39

but I'm worried about my children they

play09:40

miss their mom mostly the younger one

play09:42

when I'm at the office it is difficult

play09:44

for me to manage all the responsibility

play09:46

alone but I hope I'll be able to sail

play09:48

through this update to it's going to be

play09:50

a shorter update so I shifted to Dad's

play09:53

house along with my children it is a

play09:54

great move I must say thanks to everyone

play09:56

for the lovely suggestion it worked out

play09:59

moving with Dad was good for all of us

play10:01

dad got the company of my children and

play10:03

they got their grandpa to play with dad

play10:05

had a full-time caregiver who was ready

play10:06

to take care of my children on a raise

play10:08

why not someone to take care of my

play10:10

children under my dad's supervision the

play10:12

best deal right it is such a happy

play10:14

feeling to see Dad playing and laughing

play10:16

with my children and them enjoying

play10:17

themselves with their grandpa ail didn't

play10:19

think this to be coming she wanted to

play10:21

make my life miserable by divorcing me

play10:23

she thought I would not be able to

play10:24

juggle all the responsibilities together

play10:26

taking care of the children my dad house

play10:29

and work but you see all is set

play10:31

perfectly I'm definitely having the last

play10:33

laugh the divorce was the best thing

play10:35

ever LOL update 3 it's a sad news dad

play10:39

passed away last week in his sleep he

play10:41

went to bed happy and content after

play10:43

playing with my children and never woke

play10:44

up again the doctor said he died

play10:46

peacefully the doctor his nurse and even

play10:49

his caregiver said Dad was happy after I

play10:51

moved in with him and it actually

play10:53

increased his lifespan to these many

play10:54

months he was already on the verge of

play10:56

giving up before I moved in it is very

play10:58

sad to lose your only parent but I'm

play11:00

glad that he got to spend the last few

play11:01

months of his life happily my children

play11:03

are also very sad to lose him but Dad

play11:05

has imparted good values to them they

play11:07

say that Grandpa used to teach them to

play11:09

accept reality and move on life never

play11:11

stops for anyone I feel so proud to hear

play11:13

such good things from them they are

play11:15

indeed My Strength In This Moment of

play11:16

Despair but there is one more shocking

play11:18

news that came after dad's demise dad's

play11:21

lawyer reached out to me asking me to

play11:23

come over to his office to reveal dad's

play11:24

will I said it wasn't required dad had

play11:26

already told me that he had given all

play11:28

his wealth to the trust so I'm fine with

play11:30

that and he can proceed with the

play11:31

paperwork to transfer everything to them

play11:34

I asked him if I needed to vacate dad's

play11:35

house because I was guessing that also

play11:37

was given to the charity trust he

play11:38

laughed at me and asked me to just come

play11:40

over when I went there I found the trust

play11:42

members were already present the lawyer

play11:44

had called them as well when the lawyer

play11:46

started reading the will I was in tears

play11:48

dad has actually willed me as Heir all

play11:50

his business his house his wealth was

play11:53

for me I asked the lawyer if this change

play11:55

was made recently I thought he made this

play11:57

change after I started taking care of

play11:58

him the lawyer smiled and said I was

play12:00

always his Heir and the will was never

play12:02

altered I was inconsolably crying that

play12:04

my dad never abandoned me maybe he

play12:06

threatened to disown me so that I could

play12:08

take forward his business and his legacy

play12:10

I was still crying when dad's attorney

play12:11

pacified me I said it kills me from

play12:13

inside that I hurt my dad all his life

play12:15

but he always cared for me the lawyer

play12:17

said that Dad was actually very proud

play12:19

that I didn't give up on my passion

play12:20

under his pressure and that I was happy

play12:22

to lose my generational wealth to pursue

play12:23

my passion dad was very proud of me the

play12:26

lawyer said that I'm the decision maker

play12:27

of the business and if I want I can take

play12:30

the company back from the trust and run

play12:31

it myself I'm thinking of doing that I

play12:33

did whatever I wanted to do dad

play12:35

indirectly supported me now it was my

play12:38

time to pay him back I'm thinking of

play12:40

taking it back from the trust and

play12:41

scaling it to the level dad wanted his

play12:43

business to fly I came back home and

play12:45

told my children about their Grandpa's

play12:46

will he has given some portion of his

play12:48

wealth to my children as well after they

play12:50

turn 18 today we went to his grave with

play12:52

some flowers and spent some time in

play12:54

Serenity it is a very emotional phase

play12:56

for me update 40 you know the ants came

play12:59

back running on seeing the sugar candy a

play13:01

month later to Dad's demise I started

play13:03

taking over his business and other

play13:05

community service work first of all I

play13:07

quit my job and took over the business

play13:09

then I rented my house because my

play13:11

children and I decided to live at my

play13:12

parents house they feel connected to

play13:14

their grandpa in this house this house

play13:16

has my childhood memories so I also

play13:18

don't want to leave it with this news

play13:19

that I had inherited my father's million

play13:21

dooll wealth I got many visitors at my

play13:23

house long lost relatives friends and

play13:26

neighbors but the most surprising

play13:27

visitor was my ex-wife

play13:29

ail and her parents they entered the

play13:31

house sobbing that they didn't know

play13:32

about my father's demise or else they

play13:34

would have attended the funeral her

play13:36

parents went on to say all good things

play13:37

about my dad ail hugged the children and

play13:39

cried about how much she missed them I

play13:41

asked her if she missed them so much and

play13:43

why didn't she visit them in the last 78

play13:45

months she said she went to our house

play13:47

but it was locked what a BS I was like

play13:50

weren't you worried about your children

play13:51

when you saw the house was locked didn't

play13:53

you feel it necessary to contact me and

play13:55

check if the kids were fine she had no

play13:57

answer her parents parents were like

play13:59

let's forget whatever has happened in

play14:00

the past now that my father was gone the

play14:03

children would be left alone in the

play14:04

house when I was at work they need a

play14:06

mother so it was better that we

play14:07

reconcile I laughed at their face at

play14:09

this suggestion the children needed her

play14:11

the most when she left them to me now

play14:13

the children have gotten used to her

play14:15

absence and I don't want her back in my

play14:17

life she started crying her parents left

play14:19

us alone she held my hands and pleaded

play14:22

with me for reconciliation she said she

play14:24

loved me and missed being with the

play14:25

children I laughed and said you know

play14:27

what you don't love me you love the

play14:29

wealth my dad left to me you and your

play14:31

greedy parents are here on my door just

play14:32

to leech on my money I don't regret

play14:34

using those words for her parents

play14:35

because that's what they are she also

play14:37

called my dad greedy and mean during our

play14:39

divorce there was no way I was letting

play14:41

this woman have a penny for my dad's

play14:42

hard-earned money she got offended that

play14:44

I had abused her parents she said until

play14:46

now she was pleading with me because she

play14:48

loved me but now she would take what is

play14:50

rightfully hers she didn't demand any

play14:52

elony for the divorce but now she needs

play14:54

half of my wealth rather half of my

play14:56

dad's wealth I told her she could do

play14:58

whatever she she wanted I'll destroy her

play15:00

but not give a penny she abused me and

play15:02

left I discussed this with my lawyer

play15:04

about this possibility he said that her

play15:06

chances were slim the divorce had

play15:08

settled a year before I got the

play15:09

inheritance besides the children were

play15:11

with me so there was no way she could

play15:13

get anything but he also asked me to be

play15:15

careful about letting her spend time

play15:16

with the children she could manipulate

play15:18

them and file for their custody and then

play15:19

later use them to demand money for their

play15:21

maintenance and all that I couldn't be

play15:23

more thankful to him for this advice I'm

play15:24

going to supervise their meeting I'm

play15:26

also spending a lot of time with the

play15:28

kids these days days to help them cope

play15:29

with the loss so that they don't run to

play15:30

their mommy for emotional support I've

play15:32

undertaken my dad's company so it gives

play15:34

me a lot of flexibility to manage my

play15:36

well-being and personal life I'm

play15:38

planning to take the kids on a vacation

play15:39

in the Bahamas yeah why not they deserve

play15:42

this lavish vacation no it's about

play15:45

overspending my dad's wealth I could

play15:47

have also afforded it but I didn't have

play15:49

the time earlier juggling work and

play15:50

taking care of dad now that I can I want

play15:53

to take them out as far as AAL is

play15:55

concerned she hasn't contacted me since

play15:57

their last visit I I thinks she is busy

play15:59

knocking on every lawyer's office to

play16:00

file a suit against me
