Phoar. I held back so much when my Aunty called.
I told her quite clearly over there phone that I don’t want to be used and manipulated into trying to influence everyone else into making a decision on the will and approving things.
I told her quite clearly I would not get involved and if I needed the inheritance I would not intervene and get involved.
All she wanted to do was try and use me to influence the outcome and kept talking negatively about everything.
She tried manipulate me again and I told her not to.
I didn’t really want to talk to her but I’ve had it with her.
You did the right thing, some times people just want to complain and victimise themselves, and then rope in other family members to validate that.
You shouldn’t be made into her flying monkey and I’m so happy you stood up for yourself!
Sad about the fish, but there will be more fish in the future!
Thanks, I’d actually been steeling myself for it because I’d had enough of it, I was pretty angry and had to hold my emotions in check and be mostly polite but I didn’t appreciate what she tried to do again and talking negatively about all her dealings with family, ironically as she’s about to jet off to London with her family, oh woe is me.
Trying to rest at home and make dinner and play videogames and it probably pushed me over the edge, grrr!
It’s ok about the fish, I have lots more where they came from thankfully!
Happy you told her how you feel :) Sad about the fish :(
I’m sad for the fish too, first time trying out the battered fish from Aldi.

wtf
if I was so blunt and assertive the manipulators in my fam would then ring up other people and tell them lies, saying I abused them
I just ignore them now

Some of the family already don’t like her, I did lie and say I don’t speak to any of them and haven’t in months but she effectively pocketed money she wasn’t entitled to and she was caught out and now making it like she’s the victim which is why she’s being scrutinised so much by the family and all the paperwork is under a microscope now.
I will be ignoring her now if she tries to call, I’ve been ignoring her texts already.

If that was my fam they might mumble a little but do and say nothing when they are ripped off.
The ones doing the ripping off are always the mean selfish ones yet no one says or does anything. I try to stick up for family but the victims are too frightened. 🤷♀️

Sorry, incase it wasn’t making much sense, my aunty is the one who pocketed money that she wasn’t entitled to so everyone else is making her return it in full before they let my aunty execute the will.

If I was that blunt and assertive I would have told her to fuck off and leave me alone.
I don’t have anything to do with her except for her being the executor of the will.

I dream of telling some family members to fuck off and leave me alone
