My dad has cancer and it was aggressive and really put my parents in a financial bind. They’re mortgage was paid off but they couldn’t do any day to day fixes while my dad was sick. A few winters ago the roof failed. I was hesitant to put my own money in the place because my brother Tim is a drug addict and I’m 99.9999% sure he would have fought us on the home and I did not want to waste the money.

I was engaged and my fiancé offer to help them out. Both my dad him made a deal that he will put what was going to be a down payment in our own home on the my parents house and we buy them out. We move in and help my dad and mom. There was conditions

  1. Get married
  2. My mom could finally fully retire with no shitty waitressing job
  3. Taxes and utilities are our responsibility

It was done. We moved in with my parents and helped them fix up the place. Fast forward to Tim stopping by after another stint in jail asking for money. It got ugly and my dad told him about the house and how my parents do not have any extra money. Tim was extremely angry and felt like we fast talked my dad into taking over the home ownership and he’s been cheated. He’s told my aunt who told me I used a shitty situation to our advantage and stole my parents home. I was called a spoiled little girl by her.

My parents seem more relaxed because they don’t have to worry about minor things and just focus on being with each other. My aunt is now getting Tim a lawyer to investigate what we did because we robbed a sick man and desperate woman.
