Transcripts
wife left me when I was caring for my
dying father but when he made me a
millionaire in his will she came back
crawling I'm 36m married for 8 years
with two children along with this I'm
the only son of my ailing father you see
my dad is suffering from kidney problems
for many years now but in the last 2 3
years his condition has worsened and he
has to go for dialysis twice a week
earlier he was able to commute on his
own but over the last year he often
asked me to accompany him he is also
growing weaker every day now I have made
a routine for myself that I would be
taking my father for dialysis every time
I don't want to leave him alone in this
condition he has to go for dialysis 2
days a week so I have fixed Saturday and
Wednesday Saturday is my week off so
it's not a concern for Wednesday I got
permission from my boss to leave early
and then compensate for the remaining
hours slw workk in the night after
returning home from the dialysis I've
been working in this company for 10
years my boss has seen me as a
hardworking and loyal employee so
granting this special permission wasn't
a big deal for him however the problem
was at home with my wife ail 34f when
she got to know that I would be taking
my dad for dialysis twice a week she got
upset she didn't like it when I used to
take him occasionally but she never
expressed her displeasure upfront now
that I had taken up the responsibility
diligently she could not stop herself
she said that there no point wasting my
time on my father because whatever I do
he was never be going to be impressed by
me well here's a little context to this
my dad owned a merchandising business he
was quite well off and had acquired
decent wealth he wanted me to take over
his business but I was passionate about
something else I wanted to get into
technology I was enthusiastic about
coding and creating software so after
school when dad wanted me to take up
some business or management courses I
took up a software degree he was still
fine with that until I was willing to
join his company however after
completing my graduation I started
working for a renowned Tech firm Dad
wasn't happy that instead of taking
forward his legacy I was working for
someone else he kept asking me to join
his business and I kept stalling it
after my marriage dad asked me the final
time if I wanted to join
and I said no dad got Furious and said
he would give all his wealth to the
charity and I wouldn't get a penny I
still didn't budge for my decision you
see I was earning well even at that age
I bought a car in my own house at the
age of 29 I was pretty confident that I
would be able to lead a decent life even
without his wealth I told him that I
didn't need his money and could build
wealth on my own our relationship soured
after that point 5 years back mom passed
away due to Cardiac Arrest it was
devastating for Dad you see I moved out
of the house at 17 for my college
then I got a job and I started Living On
My Own the only companion dad had was
Mom and losing her was the most
devastating thing for him that's when
our bond rejuvenated I started visiting
him often and used to take my kids to
play with him eventually he stepped down
from his company and gave it to a trust
to run my wife ail was never close to my
parents until my mother was here ail
used to avoid visiting my parents saying
that my mother was too nosy in our lives
and they didn't get along with each
other when my father announced that he
would remove me from his will ail
started openly criticizing my parents
for being mean and evil I insisted she
stay away from my relationship with my
parents but she always stepped in and
said it was something that was going to
affect our future especially our
children's I assured her that ours and
our children's future are secure
irrespective of Dad's wealth but she was
not willing to understand that now
coming to the current situation ail
created a fuss when she got to know that
I would be accompanying dad for dialysis
twice a week initially I tried to make
her understand that Dad had no one but
me he has lost his parents long back
though he has an elder brother he lives
in the other end of the city and rarely
visits dad dad has become very lonely
after mom's demise and in this condition
I cannot abandon him but my wife refuses
to understand this of late she had made
my life miserable every Saturday she
comes up with some plans either it is
hosting a party at the house deep
cleaning the house outing with the
children or as stupid as grocery pickup
I made her understand that she can plan
anything she wants on Sundays because on
Saturdays I have to take Dad for
dialysis but she continu continues with
her plans and then later rebukes me for
being late or missing it I had to rush
to my dad to pick him up then take him
to the dialysis center and after it was
done I dropped him and ran back home to
her sarcasm and Tantrums it is not just
about Saturday she does the same for
Wednesday evening I had committed to my
boss that I would compensate for the
remaining work late in the evening or in
the night after returning from the
dialysis but she always had a plan to
trouble me almost every Wednesday
evening she would go out either to meet
her family her long lost friends or to
attend some random party leaving the
children's respons ability to me I had
to juggle my work cook for the children
feed the younger one and meanwhile
complete my pending tasks at my
workplace this was after a hectic day at
work and at the dialysis center I know
it's getting long but this is how
miserable my condition is many times my
dad suggested that I let him go to the
center with the nurse because he sees me
always in a hurry intense looking at my
watch after dropping him home I don't
even wait for a second and rush back
even while picking up I ask him to be
ready and come outside before I arrive
dad has a full-time nurse and a
caretaker Aker to take care of him but I
still feel bad for not spending time
with him the drive from his house to the
center is 30 minutes earlier I used to
enjoy chatting with him during that
drive about the good old days of
children but as AAL Tantrums have
increased all I'm concerned about is
rushing back home most of the time I'm
just over speeding my car in the traffic
taking shortcut lanes and overtaking
other vehicles to cut down the drive
time this is the only time I get to
spend with Dad and I don't want to ruin
that or stop it by asking him to go with
the nurse I too have some
responsibilities as a a son I'm just not
able to bear this woman any longer
update one it is just getting worse
every day my wife is not leaving any
stone on turn to dissuade me from
attending my father her point is that it
is a lost deal dad had already removed
me from his will and had given his
wealth to charity so there was no point
wasting time and energy on him I failed
to understand her do we do everything
just for profit and loss what if
someone's parents don't have any wealth
or are poor do their children abandon
them because they have nothing to offer
after listening to her Tantrums for so
many months I finally told her that she
was not going going to inherit anything
from her parents so why does she visit
them every now and then oh my God she
lost her sht at this and said my parents
did a lot more than your greedy father
they supported me in everything they are
not like your father who disowned you
for not joining his business my father
would have never done that to me so
don't you dare compare my parents to
yours it was not just once this type of
argument is becoming a Norm at my house
almost every Wednesday and Saturday
after I returned from dialysis just that
it is getting severe and ugly at every
instance earlier she used to fight with
me alone now I see her yelling and
shouting at me in front of the children
not only this I have heard her
badmouthing my dad in front of my
children and manipulating them against
me and my dad I heard it and intervened
which again led to an ugly fight between
us ail's fight has become a routine for
me on the days when she doesn't fight I
feel something is missing only she
becomes more aggressive the next day
I've almost given up on her now I don't
yell back and answer her I just ignore
her as if she doesn't exist for me what
else should I do I cannot abandon my
father just to please her I don't care
if he has kicked me out of his will he
did so because of my own decision I
refused to join his company he was
forced to give his hard-earned business
to the trust it must have been so
disheartening for him that company was a
baby to my dad and he had to donate it
to someone else he had all the right to
disown me because I had hurt him I
sometimes feel that karma is biting me
back because I had hurt my dad on the
other hand dad is becoming weaker he is
barely able to walk on his own he needs
support to step him down to the car to
save time I used to ask him to come
outside and drop him outside the house
but now I don't care about being late I
go inside to carefully walk him to the
car and then drop him to his bed until
he settles down peacefully he is also
having shortness of breath so I make
sure to walk him as slowly as he wants
also while driving I drive carefully so
as not to overs speed and increases
heart rate I don't care about going late
to my house because rushing to the house
was also not helping if I any way have
to deal with that evil woman why not at
least keep Dad happy my casual attitude
has worsened the situation and yesterday
ail said that I need to choose one of of
them either my dad or her I tried to
make her understand that Dad was not
going to be with us forever seeing his
condition it didn't look like he was
going to make it long she came back with
a Curt reply in that case you need to
make your choice carefully someone who
is going to be with you forever or
someone who is going to die soon this
was so insensitive I told her you know
what I better choose my dad than Choose
You who is so evil and selfish to a
dying man she packed her bags and left I
didn't even stop her she needed some
time to cool off and I also needed some
space from her in her absence I'm taking
care of the house my children dad and my
work yet I feel so relieved so relaxed
her absence is actually soothing to me
the day before yesterday she sent me a
divorce paper I was somewhere expecting
it but didn't anticipate it to be coming
so soon I was shocked but deep down I
was happy and relieved I didn't call her
just signed the papers and sent her back
surprisingly she didn't ask for the
custody of the children that was the
only Clause I was worried about but she
clearly didn't want them when she
received the paper she called me back
yelling that how could I just sign it
without calling her and pleading with
her funny right her mom snatched the
phone and shouted that I should have
acted like a man and tried to pacify his
wife back into the marriage instead of
just signing the papers it was so funny
why would I do that she wanted a divorce
and I complied I was like it was good
for me I got rid of her without a fuss I
also taunted her that she even abandoned
her children and didn't want them she
said I could have all my assets
including my two children she didn't
want any of it her mother said Avil was
still very young and she didn't want the
baggage of children on her shoulders I
said fine by me I'm glad to have my kids
with me it is a relief for me no doubt
but I'm worried about my children they
miss their mom mostly the younger one
when I'm at the office it is difficult
for me to manage all the responsibility
alone but I hope I'll be able to sail
through this update to it's going to be
a shorter update so I shifted to Dad's
house along with my children it is a
great move I must say thanks to everyone
for the lovely suggestion it worked out
moving with Dad was good for all of us
dad got the company of my children and
they got their grandpa to play with dad
had a full-time caregiver who was ready
to take care of my children on a raise
why not someone to take care of my
children under my dad's supervision the
best deal right it is such a happy
feeling to see Dad playing and laughing
with my children and them enjoying
themselves with their grandpa ail didn't
think this to be coming she wanted to
make my life miserable by divorcing me
she thought I would not be able to
juggle all the responsibilities together
taking care of the children my dad house
and work but you see all is set
perfectly I'm definitely having the last
laugh the divorce was the best thing
ever LOL update 3 it's a sad news dad
passed away last week in his sleep he
went to bed happy and content after
playing with my children and never woke
up again the doctor said he died
peacefully the doctor his nurse and even
his caregiver said Dad was happy after I
moved in with him and it actually
increased his lifespan to these many
months he was already on the verge of
giving up before I moved in it is very
sad to lose your only parent but I'm
glad that he got to spend the last few
months of his life happily my children
are also very sad to lose him but Dad
has imparted good values to them they
say that Grandpa used to teach them to
accept reality and move on life never
stops for anyone I feel so proud to hear
such good things from them they are
indeed My Strength In This Moment of
Despair but there is one more shocking
news that came after dad's demise dad's
lawyer reached out to me asking me to
come over to his office to reveal dad's
will I said it wasn't required dad had
already told me that he had given all
his wealth to the trust so I'm fine with
that and he can proceed with the
paperwork to transfer everything to them
I asked him if I needed to vacate dad's
house because I was guessing that also
was given to the charity trust he
laughed at me and asked me to just come
over when I went there I found the trust
members were already present the lawyer
had called them as well when the lawyer
started reading the will I was in tears
dad has actually willed me as Heir all
his business his house his wealth was
for me I asked the lawyer if this change
was made recently I thought he made this
change after I started taking care of
him the lawyer smiled and said I was
always his Heir and the will was never
altered I was inconsolably crying that
my dad never abandoned me maybe he
threatened to disown me so that I could
take forward his business and his legacy
I was still crying when dad's attorney
pacified me I said it kills me from
inside that I hurt my dad all his life
but he always cared for me the lawyer
said that Dad was actually very proud
that I didn't give up on my passion
under his pressure and that I was happy
to lose my generational wealth to pursue
my passion dad was very proud of me the
lawyer said that I'm the decision maker
of the business and if I want I can take
the company back from the trust and run
it myself I'm thinking of doing that I
did whatever I wanted to do dad
indirectly supported me now it was my
time to pay him back I'm thinking of
taking it back from the trust and
scaling it to the level dad wanted his
business to fly I came back home and
told my children about their Grandpa's
will he has given some portion of his
wealth to my children as well after they
turn 18 today we went to his grave with
some flowers and spent some time in
Serenity it is a very emotional phase
for me update 40 you know the ants came
back running on seeing the sugar candy a
month later to Dad's demise I started
taking over his business and other
community service work first of all I
quit my job and took over the business
then I rented my house because my
children and I decided to live at my
parents house they feel connected to
their grandpa in this house this house
has my childhood memories so I also
don't want to leave it with this news
that I had inherited my father's million
dooll wealth I got many visitors at my
house long lost relatives friends and
neighbors but the most surprising
visitor was my ex-wife
ail and her parents they entered the
house sobbing that they didn't know
about my father's demise or else they
would have attended the funeral her
parents went on to say all good things
about my dad ail hugged the children and
cried about how much she missed them I
asked her if she missed them so much and
why didn't she visit them in the last 78
months she said she went to our house
but it was locked what a BS I was like
weren't you worried about your children
when you saw the house was locked didn't
you feel it necessary to contact me and
check if the kids were fine she had no
answer her parents parents were like
let's forget whatever has happened in
the past now that my father was gone the
children would be left alone in the
house when I was at work they need a
mother so it was better that we
reconcile I laughed at their face at
this suggestion the children needed her
the most when she left them to me now
the children have gotten used to her
absence and I don't want her back in my
life she started crying her parents left
us alone she held my hands and pleaded
with me for reconciliation she said she
loved me and missed being with the
children I laughed and said you know
what you don't love me you love the
wealth my dad left to me you and your
greedy parents are here on my door just
to leech on my money I don't regret
using those words for her parents
because that's what they are she also
called my dad greedy and mean during our
divorce there was no way I was letting
this woman have a penny for my dad's
hard-earned money she got offended that
I had abused her parents she said until
now she was pleading with me because she
loved me but now she would take what is
rightfully hers she didn't demand any
elony for the divorce but now she needs
half of my wealth rather half of my
dad's wealth I told her she could do
whatever she she wanted I'll destroy her
but not give a penny she abused me and
left I discussed this with my lawyer
about this possibility he said that her
chances were slim the divorce had
settled a year before I got the
inheritance besides the children were
with me so there was no way she could
get anything but he also asked me to be
careful about letting her spend time
with the children she could manipulate
them and file for their custody and then
later use them to demand money for their
maintenance and all that I couldn't be
more thankful to him for this advice I'm
going to supervise their meeting I'm
also spending a lot of time with the
kids these days days to help them cope
with the loss so that they don't run to
their mommy for emotional support I've
undertaken my dad's company so it gives
me a lot of flexibility to manage my
well-being and personal life I'm
planning to take the kids on a vacation
in the Bahamas yeah why not they deserve
this lavish vacation no it's about
overspending my dad's wealth I could
have also afforded it but I didn't have
the time earlier juggling work and
taking care of dad now that I can I want
to take them out as far as AAL is
concerned she hasn't contacted me since
their last visit I I thinks she is busy
knocking on every lawyer's office to
file a suit against me
