1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Are we the a holes for not sharing our inheritance

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: with the family and John? This is actually a story

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: from one of our listeners Watchers, and they submitted it

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: to our subreddit, our slash okop show.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: Very nice. Yeah, if you want to share your story,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: drop it there. We'll put on the show.

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: I eighteen female will preface this by stating that all

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: the names in this story have been changed. I will

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: also say a little bit about how family relationships work

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: to hopefully clear up the confusion. There is my great

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: grandma and great grandpa. They had three kids, my nana,

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: my great uncle Joseph, and my great uncle Lucian. My

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: nana had two sons, and my great uncles had three

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: to four kids each. My nana and uncle Joseph and

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: great Grandpa James all died when I was little. My

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: great grandma was brutally honest and often gave her opinion

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: when no one asked. Oh much, Yo, that's kind of

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: like old people just like just like saying shit out

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: of pocket. Yeah, dude, they're on the other side. Because

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: of this, most of the family had no contact with

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: her grandma's on her own great grandma, my uncle slash

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Dad's brother and his husband lived with my great grandma,

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: so they obviously took her side, and my dad and

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: I were indifferent. We got along with everyone. In the

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty, my great grandma passed away. She

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: was eighty. Yo. How many you have? Eighty is a

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: kind of young for.

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: A grantar gandma if you think about it, like twenty twenty.

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: If you have a kid at twenty twenty, twenty twenty,

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: that's true, I think, though? Is that?

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: Yeah? So well, so, great Grandma eighty, great grandma sixty,

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: mom forty forty opp twenty Yeah, I guess roughly around twenty.

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: A little later.

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Wow. In the summer of twenty twenty, my great grandma

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: passed away. She was eighty and very overweight and unhealthy,

36
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: so it was a much of a shock. My great

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: grandma surprisingly left everything to my dad and uncle. Oh.

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: She also wrote that her only living child, Lucian, would

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: not be allowed on the property, he would get absolutely

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: none of her belongings, and that if he tried to

41
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: contest the will, he would receive only one dollar. Yo.

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Great grandma freaking roasted this year. If you couldn't tell

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: my grandma and her son did not get along. Really, Oh,

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: we had no idea. My uncle and his husband went

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: to Lucian's house and gave him a copy of the

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: will with the dollar tape to it.

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Dude, Rove, that's funny.

48
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I do think that this was the wrong thing to do,

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: and that there was a much better way to go

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: about breaking the news of him being cut out of

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: the wheel. Oh my god, Oh, here's your will. There's

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: a dollar.

53
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

54
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Even though the will said none of her belongings were

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: to go to Lucian, my uncle still gave him a

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: lot of things that did belong to my great grandpa

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: before he passed. My uncle was furious that he'd get more,

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: and he kept saying that we should spread the money

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: amongst the grandchildren, not just my dad and uncle. Not

60
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: only did we know he only wanted to do that

61
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: so he could easily manipulate his kids into giving him

62
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: the money. But there was also no money. But great

63
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: Grandma was drowning in credit card debt, and on top

64
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: of that, she had a reverse mortgage on the house

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: that was not fully paid off. Oh so basically the

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: only thing she has to give to her kids is debt.

67
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: Nice I said before that my great uncle Joseph passed

68
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: when I was little, but his widow was still in

69
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: the picture. Deirdre is a terrible person. Even her own

70
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: children have no contact with her because they cannot stand here.

71
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: When Joseph was dying, Deirdre was off cheating on him

72
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and spending all his money. Nice. Wow, great way to

73
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: support your dying husband. After he died, she sold the

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: house and all of his things. Joseph had plenty of money,

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: so the money from selling his house plus any inheritance

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: she got would be a lot. Yet she has no house, car,

77
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: or anything to show for it. She smells and looks

78
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to Jevelton. Oh my, and she looks like she's aged

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: twenty years when it hasn't even been a decade since

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: Joseph died. So because of all this, we believe that

81
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: all the money, or at least a lot of it,

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: must have gone to drugs.

83
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Oh god.

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Lucian got d'andre on his side, unsurprisingly, and they both

85
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: spread disgusting rumors on Facebook saying that my uncles abused

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: my great grandmother and that they killed her to get

87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: her money.

88
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: Wow, holy shit, Oh my god, Facebook, that's crazy.

89
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: This is some family drama.

90
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: This is a big family drama.

91
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: They pretty much left me and my dad out of

92
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: all posts. I think, thank god. I was still very

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: upset about all these discussing lives, but about my uncles.

94
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: After selling a ton of my great grandma's belongings the house,

95
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: paying back some of her debt, and splitting the profits

96
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: between my dad and uncle, there was just enough money

97
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: for each of them to put a decent sized down

98
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: payment on a house, which they did. If my dad

99
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: and uncle decided to split the money amongst all the grandkids,

100
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: there would be barely any money for each person. Maybe

101
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: some of them have bought a cheap car or put

102
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: the money towards college. Two of my cousins are in college,

103
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: but it would have not been a lot. Plus we

104
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: knew that Lucian Deirdre could have easily manipulated their children

105
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: into giving them the money. I feel like, basically, OPI's

106
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: just saying, hey, more money is better if it's on

107
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: one person, unless money is not as good. Oh no,

108
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: but apparently all of those of the family shouldn't have

109
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: this because only a couple thousand my dad and I

110
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: were the innocent party in all of this. So my

111
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: cousins remained nice and civil towards us, but pretty much

112
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: the whole family hates my uncles and also just a

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: little my dad for keeping your share in the money

114
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: to himself. I also wanted to add that out of

115
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: my great grandma's three kids, the two boys were very successful,

116
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: while my nana became drug addicts, although she got claimed

117
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: before I was born, and all of the grandkids, with

118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the exception of my dad and uncle, were also very successful.

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: My dad had me at only nineteen, okay, that makes sense,

120
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: and my uncle has bipolar two disorder. This pretty much

121
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: means that while everyone else has been super successful, my

122
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: dad and uncle I have been struggling to get by

123
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: their whole lives. So I guess, like the money, you know,

124
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: it would help them mostly.

125
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: Right right right?

126
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: So to some that up, my dad and uncle, the

127
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: only grandkids who actually needed the money and the only

128
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: ones who had a real relationship with my great grandma,

129
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: were the only ones to receive the inheritance. So are

130
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: we the a holes? Sorry for the long story.

131
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: Man, I mean a lot of context, a lot of context.

132
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm it's crazy, like the murder mystery.

133
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: The murder miss is crazy. I'm trying to like synthesize everything.

134
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: But I don't think so. I mean, I mean, it

135
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: was in the will, in the will, and it's like

136
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: your dad keeping the money, there's nothing wrong with that

137
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: given to him.

138
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: And also like it's in the will and they need

139
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: it most. I feel like it's a double whammy.

140
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I think you're not the a whole.

141
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: You're chilling, Boom, you're chilling.
